Since
the average wedding costs as much as a down payment on a house,
it makes sense to get insurance. It'll offer peace of mind
-- especially with the number of vendors involved and the
variety of issues that can't be controlled.
Coverage typically includes
wedding cancellation or postponement if a member of the bridal
party dies, gets sick, is injured or can't come to the wedding
because of military service or the shutdown of commercial
transportation. Pre-existing medical conditions are excluded.
It also will help pay
for the reconvening of the bridal party for new pictures if
the photographer loses the film or it's damaged at the lab,
new wedding rings if they're lost, and replacement of damaged,
stolen or lost wedding gifts.
Cold feet, however, are not covered. Read
this story to learn more about insuring
your wedding.
