For a large majority of French people, a marriage is successful if the bride and groom have put a certain budget there …

In detail, “62 % are completely convinced of the need to predict upstream a budget and only 21 % in part”. Without forgetting, that in certain cultures, the practice of the dowry remains well rooted in customs. It is therefore one more expense to be expected for some newlyweds …
