Something borrowed...? Wedding loans on the increase

June 15, 2009 - PRLog -- Latest figures suggest that couples are borrowing more than just the family jewellery. Sainsbury’s Finance estimates around 13,600 personal loans totalling over £113 million were taken out in the first four months of 2009 alone, purely to pay for weddings.

Despite the number of loans taken out to fund weddings increasing significantly, the average value of loans purely for this purpose is down slightly on the same period this year. In the first four months of 2009 the average wedding loan was £8,292.

Even in uncertain times, it seems that the cost of ‘the big day’ is one compromise some couples are not prepared to make!
