One of the first things a Bride does when starting to plan a Wedding is to check out what everyone else is doing and ask past Brides what they spent, who they recommend and what they’d change.

McCrindle used analytics from the Australian Bureau of Statistics to help us decipher exactly what the average Aussie Wedding looks like, how often it happens and whether the Marriage lasts.

Some of the most interesting statistics include:

Most Weddings take place in November and 56% of all Weddings happen on a Saturday

The average age to get Married is 29.9 for men and 28.3 for women

Divorce rates are down and Marriage rates are up!

All of the major stats are below.
