| So I am still kinda new at this, and did not know where to really post this. But I just wanted to share, I am getting married June of 2007 and ever since I got engaged, I have been fussing/stressing about money. My FH did not understand how much things were going to cost, and did not share my money woes. So I made him sit down with me this weekend to come up with one. WE FINALLY DID IT. We included everything, right down to my possible 2 sets of shoes, including stamps, Stag and doe costs, honeymoon, and even aloted me a shower 'allowance' as I don't have a wedding party and will have to do some of the prep work. Can I tell you I feel 100% better. There were things that he did not even consider ('donation for the church'...he thought it was free ha ha ha) It opened his eyes and made him realize that the cost of the wedding is just not the reception!!! yah yah yah...now I am on cloud 9 for my crappy 10 working days in a row

That's awesome! I know the money thing can be really stressful but I found it was good to lay out the costs early to plan where the money will be coming from and going ...

Thats really smart! FH and I were kinda stupid about the budget thing, we didnt really set one in the beginning and we have gone WAY over what we would have wanted to spend, and it has been a big stressor. Good for you!!

| Also with the whole thing, about the budget, I can't stop laughing, cause we booked the church, and reception venue before we had the budget. kinda feel like I am doing things backwards!!!
