Weddings are not a cheap affair anymore. From catering to decor, everything comes with a heavy price tag, and with social media validation playing a big part in the lives of a lot of people, skimping on the budget is not an option. The price of planning a whole wedding is equivalent to buying a house, it's said, and it's proved to be true nowadays. Netflix's upcoming show 'Marriage or Mortgage' proves this point even further.
Real estate agent Nichole Holmes and wedding planner Sarah Miller will be seen working with ten couples on the show, each convincing the about-to-be married couples to give them their business. According to Netflix, Sarah is a hopeless romantic who spared no expense planning her own wedding and she leaves no stone unturned trying to convince the bride and groom to go all out while planning their wedding because the memories made on that day are priceless. Nichole on the other hand is divorced-twice and believes in the fact that the most romantic and practical decision a couple could ever make together is buying a home to call their own. Both of these women have different opinions and very strong sales pitches to win a couple over with. The first episode of 'Marriage or Mortgage' is titled 'New to Nashville' featuring the couple Liz and Evan Zimmer and in their case, Sarah was the one who emerged victorious over Nichole.
