Joshua Kackos, founder of The Wedding Ticket, joins Fox 5 DC to talk about what weddings really cost and why so many couples start married life in debt. The average American wedding now costs around $35,000 (The Knot puts 2025 at $34,000, Zola at $36,000), and 67% of newlyweds say they took on debt for their wedding, according to LendingTree's 2025 survey. The interview covers a simpler idea: guests give toward the wedding itself, right from the invitation when they RSVP, instead of buying a blender. Watch the segment below.
