Theres never a good time to be ill, but it can be especially frustrating when wedding planning.
And sometimes, the costs just get to be too much.
But that doesnt mean his illness is any less of a financial burden.
Getting married and getting sick are just about two of the most expensive things a person can do.
A hip replacement costs $40,364 on average, and a hip resurfacing will put patients out $28,000.
Its not just the actual surgery or the hotel room that racks up exorbitant fees, however.
And getting through the surgery itself is only the beginning, as many patients require physical therapy as well.
Meanwhile, 50 million Americans have contributed to these funds to help out friends in need.
