Today’s bride is older, better educated and more career-oriented than ever before. With an average age of 27, she is more business savvy and more likely to ask questions than her predecessors. Very often, the expenses for the wedding are paid for by the bride or shared with the groom.

There is also an increasing trend toward the renewal of vows. Whether it is an older couple celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary or a younger couple celebrating their l0th, the idea is to celebrate continuing love.

In Our Opinion

Editorial

There’s a new generation of volunteers hard at work right now in this community who are carrying on their legacy. The level of involvement in the recent Los Altos Relay For Life event bears this out.
