We all know the current economic status is pretty poor. With the U.S. recession being the worst in decades, surprisingly this can mean good things if you are getting married. Many companies are offering "economic stimulus" discounts. Look at your current wedding budget and consider things that you want, but may have left out because it was too expensive. For instance, wedding planners are usually a costly expense that many couples forgo. Doing some research shows many wedding planners are offering this "economic stimulus" discount, providing their services for drastically lower rates. Some even offer a few hours for free, which can be a huge help to a couple without and other help. Photography services, honeymoon destination spots, and even caterers are offering major discounts for products and services.
Obviously, there are also many tax breaks available to married couples that are double what a single person gets. President Obama's new Stimulus Plan gives married couples even more tax breaks on new home and car purchases, and double the amount of any tax credits.
