According to an article in CNN Money The walk down the aisle continues to get more expensive.

Couples may be spending more on their weddings, but guests have reduced their gift spending recently.
This year, an attendee will spend an average of $106 on a gift, according to research from American Express Spending & Saving Tracker. That’s less than 2014 average of $109.
Gifts also depend on the guest’s relationship to the couple. Invitees will spend an average of $142 on family, and $90 for friends and colleagues, according to American Express.
One third of guests plan to gift cash to the newlyweds while 32% will pick something off the registry. Gift cards, non-registry gifts, money for the honeymoom or a donation also made the gift-giving list.

Guests can expect more personalized ceremonies and receptions.
“[Couples] are looking for ways large and small to make their wedding their own,” said Lauren Iannotti, executive editor at Brides magazine. “Oftentimes, that means re-inventing things.”
She said some couples are hiring artists to paint a custom backdrop for the ceremony or reception or a local artist to “live paint” the party. And there’s a new metal infiltrating the wedding scene. “Wedding markets are often affected by the home market, and the copper craze in homes, we are now seeing in weddings.”
Wedding cakes are also getting upgraded. It’s not enough for the outside to look good. “Creative cake interiors are something we are seeing,” said Iannotti. “Ombre insides or something artful underneath the frosting.”
But as couples strive to create a bespoke wedding day, that doesn’t mean they don’t want to share the special moments with the world. According to Kim Forrest, editor at WeddingWire, couples are hiring social media consultants to make sure photos are getting up and tagged properly.
At CKE we post your photos and handle that aspect of your social media. Just say the word.
Curtis Knight Attends Middlesex County Deputy Sheriffs’ Association Swearing in Ceremony
Sunday, March 8, 2015, Rolling Rick from Curtis Knight Entertainment was the DJ/MC at Middlesex County Deputy Sheriffs’ Association Swearing in Ceremony at Andover Country Club . The ceremony included multiple speeches including those from Sheriff Peter J. Koutoujian, and President Michael Giacoppo. There were more than 500 attending, which filled the ballroom to capacity and all attending Reserve Deputy Sheriffs all had to stand and reaffirm our oath to the commonwealth of Massachusetts. Curtis Knight is a reserve Deputy Sheriff of Middlesex County, Massachusetts. Everybody was presented with a 2015 decal for our vehicles, a Deputy Sheriff ID Card, and also a “parchment” certificate stating that we are Deputy Sheriffs for another year.
