The Wedding Regret Index
Real post-wedding data on what couples regret spending money on — and what was worth it. Anonymous. Aggregated. Updated as the dataset grows.
No vendor sponsorship. No shaming. Just patterns from couples after the pressure is gone.
Early release: results reflect submitted surveys to date and may change as responses grow.
- Regret rates by category
- Worth-it rates by category
- Budget surprise patterns
- Filters by wedding type and size
How it works
Simple inputs. Clear outputs. No performative wedding advice.
We ask post-wedding couples the same short set of questions to reduce noise and maximize clarity.
“Regret” and “Worth it” are reported as simple percentages by category. We publish sample size and date ranges.
The point is decision support. The data evolves as the dataset grows — and we say so clearly.

Methodology, up front
Credibility is the product. This is not sponsored content and not vendor pay-to-play.
