- "Today was magical...If I had to say was it worth it? Absolutely." Briana and Owen Roman are ringing in their newlywed era with more than $30,000 in debt. The total amount for the wedding that they "settled" for totaled $51,000. That's not uncommon in New Jersey, where the average wedding costs $55,000, according to The Knot. As Briana and Owen navigated the financial woes and sticker shock during the wedding planning process, Briana bid farewell to her fairytale dream wedding at Park Chateau Estate and Gardens in East Brunswick. Instead, the two said "I do" at Galloping Hill Golf Course in Kenilworth—a more financially feasible option. But were the tens of thousands of dollars they spent worth it?
