Given that the average wedding now costs 25-thousand US
dollars these days, are wedding insurance now fast becoming a “luxurious
necessity” in this day and age?

Imagine your local governor announcing everyone should
batten down the hatches and stay indoors because of a major storm will hit your
neck of the woods. This is just what happened several months ago in New Jersey,
where Governor Chris Christie’s warning that everyone should batten down the
hatches and move indoors had caused the cancellation of scores of weddings to
be held in the state’s picturesque and historic boardwalks. Given that weddings
in this day and age now cost an average of 25-thousand US dollars, is it
high-time for prospective couples to secure wedding insurance before they
officially tie the knot?
These days, a wedding insurance with a premium of 200 to 300
US dollars can recoup you of almost your entire 25-thousand US dollar wedding
plan if ever it gets cancelled by a major storm or other inclement
weather. I mean insurance companies had
been insuring against rain-outs of public events for years, right? Some
“fancier” wedding insurance policies even cover force majeure. But will it
cover the unused tins of up-market beluga caviar?

Wedding insurance with force majeure coverage - will it recoup the damage and mental anguish caused by "Bridezillas"?
Wedding insurance with force majeure coverage? The idea probably dawned on me when I thought that if two people decides to go for a wedding budgeted way beyond their means is a force majeure in itself. Hints of Bridezilla?
I just hope that wedding insurance with force majeure coverage also works on "monster-in-laws".
Given that during the last few years American drone strikes targeting Al Qaeda affiliated groups in Afghanistan are hitting weddings at an alarmingly frequent rate, will most wedding insurance policies in the near future be covering death and injury due to drone strikes?
