The number of couples getting into serious debt in order to have the wedding of their dreams is on the rise, with more people happy to tie the knot and enter a marriage of financial problems.
Research from Fool.co.uk has shown that consumers are happy to take out large personal loans or even charge parts of their wedding on their credit cards, wracking up huge amounts of interest and debt.
The average cost of a wedding comes in at just under £5000, which many people simply can't afford outright, leaving them with no choice but take on debt.
