Couple Took $88K Loan to Fund Wedding; Will Pay for 17 Years

A viral video has ignited conversations online after revealing that a newlywed couple took an $88,000 loan to fund their wedding.

In the clip shared on X (formerly Twitter), a man whose identity remains undisclosed explained the financial commitment the couple has taken on.

He revealed that their monthly repayment is $800, meaning it will take roughly 17 years to clear the loan.

The young man added that the couple will pay $70,924 in interest, bringing the total wedding cost to $158,923.

Social media users quickly weighed in on the high-risk financial decision:
