It's no secret that many young adults are having a hard time financially , especially when it comes to affording a home purchase. Weddings may be exacerbating the problem for some.

The typical monthly rent, which captures rent prices for multi- and single-family rentals, was $2,007 in August, up 2.4% from a year prior, according to Zillow.

A separate recent report by the housing site found that attending just one wedding and a bachelor or bachelorette weekend can cost $2,010.

"It really is eye-opening when you put it right next to rent," said Amanda Pendleton, the home trends expert at Zillow.
