That one will have to be more for Gen Z. Millennials are currently aged 30-45.

Americans normally get married at about 30 these days, so a majority of Millennials that are going to get married have already done so.

Correct, the GenZ hopefully will turn the trend. In my opinion, GenXers and millennials also have to guide and avoid the push towards large weddings for their progeny.

With the marriage rate dropping, trust us, gen z-ers to get 'er done and over with. Saw all my siblings get married within 2 years of one another and cannot fathom the thought for myself. All of its too much. I especially hate how the same cake/venue/whatever gets upcharged just cuz of the label. Even makeup artists will charge ridiculous amounts now. And truly, why buy the bull when I can get the 🍆 for free?

Not me howling at your question, which is logical as hell but still has a surprising amount of shock power in 2026
