By Jeffrey Strain

Taking out a wedding loan is one of the biggest financial mistakes a couple can make.

With the wedding season upon us, brides and grooms are going to be shelling out big money to get married. U.S. couples spend on average more than $28,000 for a wedding, with the average wedding in bigger cities costing as much as $50,000.

It’s true: when we aren’t busy building the best online financial tool, Geezeo folks are busy building other things.

Take our CTO Sonny, for example. Not only does he find the time to build a technical backend that keeps your data from the bad guys (and can do it blindfolded!)… he finds time to use technology other ways, too. Check it out.

With all that heart it’s no wonder we’ve been nominated “Best Online Financial Tool” by the Motley Fool. (Cast your vote here).

Or hey — maybe it’s because we launched a mobile service to our users months ago. And we keep getting better every day.

Regardless, there’s a lot here to love.
