The traditional surprise proposal with a ring chosen by the groom isn't necessary the tradition any more. Some future brides and grooms shop for a ring together before the proposal, and others hold off the ring shopping until the after the "Will you?" and the "Yes!"

New poll: Are you more likely to puchase a product that is labeled "environmentally friendly?"

Continuing on our "green" theme for the month of April, in our next poll let's take a look at some of our "green living" habits. As consumers become more environmentally conscious, manufacturers are following suit with more environmentally-friendly products: from cars to detergents to paper towels.

When you're making your purchasing decisions, does the product's environmental impact factor into your buying selection? If you're in the supermarket choosing between two similar products, and one is labeled as "earth friendly," which one do you buy?

Vote in the poll in the left sidebar and tell me, are you more likely to purchase a product that is labeled "environmentally friendly?"

Check out all of our posts on green weddings for ideas.

Is your wedding eco-friendly?

  • A little bit, but not on purpose: 25 percent

New poll: Is your wedding eco-friendly?

Being "green" is a big issue today, and more and more brides and grooms are choosing to consider the environment when planning their weddings. I'm curious to see how much of an impact the environment has had on your wedding plans. Vote on the poll on the left sidebar and let me know:

Is your wedding eco-friendly?

  • Yes! Totally green.
  • Yes, where we can.
  • A little bit, but not on purpose.
  • No, not at all.

Poll results: What's your wedding budget?

In our last poll, I asked you to share your wedding budget. While the average wedding costs nearly $30,000 in the U.S., I felt that average number in the Pittsburgh region was likely substantially lower. Based on the poll results, that seems to be true:

What's your wedding budget?

  • Less than $10,000: 42 percent
  • $10,000-$19,999: 9 percent
  • $20,000-$29,999: 25 percent
  • $30,000-$39,999: 12 percent
  • $40,000 or more: 12 percent
That adds up to 76 percent of weddings for the poll with a budget under $30,000. Of course, "averages" can be greatly skewed by the extremes, and if there are a handful of people out there spending a few hundred thousand dollars on their wedding, the average may be right on. What these results show is that the "typical" Pittsburgh wedding may actually have a budget of less than $10,000.
