Take whatever you're spending on the wedding and set it aside. Go elope for nothing. Then split the money you would have paid 50/50. You'll both be ahead of the game. J/k dude. Good luck with everything. p.s. DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!! Best wishes
Awe marriage. I remember mine like it was yesterday. I remember dating all through college for the first two years, living together for another 2 and the 3 years that proceded the wedding..........but I remember the divorce like a brick to my head. Good luck!
It's been about 6 months since our wedding. Last summer was CRAZY. I did a lot to help plan, however since my wife was studying for her boards at the same time. She was a tropper through it all, and I did what Ben did as well. Things are crazy now, but different crazy, not exactly marriage-related (mostly remodeling work), but we are definitely less stressed. We didn't spend a ton, either, but we had a lot of labor help. As for the photographer, BEST (I meant this) place to spend the money on your wedding is the DJ and the Photographer. The latter somewhat sucked, and we regret it. Our DJ was awesome, and he's booked about 3 weddings just from people that came to ours. As for the photo you posted, that's awesome.
Good advice, I would also recommend getting a videographer. We have great still pictures but have hardly looked at them. My wife loves watching our wedding videos though. Enjot it as much as you can, before you know it you'll be on your honeymoon.
You just need the right woman. I'm getting hitched in 3 months. A small service, two seperate receptions, one where her family lives and one where mine lives so we dont need to make anyone travel and waist an entire weekend. Each reception is in a park picnic shelter costing $25/piece. I'm a bit of a green thumb so we are growing our own flowers, my sister has good photo skills so she is the photographer and relatives are providing the meal. Total cost will be about $500. Then the honeymoon is at a lake cabin where she will spend her time reading and I will be catching walleye and bass for dinner. There are so many other things we can spend that money on than a one day party.
Quitcherbithcin.... you're lucky anyone would have you. Do what you're suppose to do and get on with it.... OR... it's still not to late to back out. In fact... as I think about it... do the girl a favor... back out. She could do better. OR... you could quitcher*****in and enjoy the ride.
She just moved in with her Grandma and I moved into a crappy studio apartment a few months ago with no internet/cable and only the bare necessities. We did this so we could both save as much as possible so we could be ahead of the game come marriage time. All the craziness isn't really coming from my fiancee, she has been great for the most part, it's my Mom and aunt that have gone insane. Damn...
It's worth the money IMO. It's something you only do once (hopefully) and they will remember it forever. Ouch!:D
