Multiple wedding ceremonies are a rising trend among couples tying the knot. Combined, these ceremonies cost $50,000 on average but can exceed $100,000, Jessica Schiffer reported for The New York Times.
"Multiceremony wedding experiences are becoming more common among couples looking to accommodate different cultural and religious backgrounds, not to mention guests who may not be able to afford pricey destination weddings," Schiffer wrote.
More than half of couples today are marrying someone with a different background, which has reduced the perception that multiple ceremonies are "over the top," Schiffer said, citing stats from WeddingWire.
