Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary urges couples to think about their future together before they shell out for a big wedding.
The investor and founder of O’Leary Ventures, who is known for his blunt takes on everything from remote work to Gen Z, has some characteristically frank advice for young couples: Save your wedding money.
“What’s the number one mistake that people make before they get married?” asked O’Leary in a video published Wednesday. “I’m talking about just before they get married, they plan a huge wedding. What a waste of money.”
Instead, O’Leary said couples should think small for the sake of their future selves, opting for a civil ceremony and a party afterwards with just a small group of friends.
“Be very selective on who you invite. They got to be meaningful to you, and forget the big extravaganza,” he said.
