What industry is booming in this recession?

I don't get it. But being newly engaged, I am intrigued. Sunday morning while in Maine I read that the wedding industry in Maine is booming, and it's not just Maine. I guess the recession causes people to celebrate big occasions even more than normal? I think it might be a sign of the class division that is becoming more and more clear across the country. There is no way that middle-class Americans can afford a $28,800 day. Yes, that's the average cost of an American Wedding for 2007.

There is something wrong with our country when we want/need to spend $28,800 on a single event and we can't pay off our mortgages!
