Why splurging on your wedding is a bad idea

If you and your fiancé are earning on a salaried basis, and you’re earning just enough to live comfortably but not lavishly, then you might want to think twice before you exhaust your entire lifesavings to your wedding. That’s right, this is not being a party pooper, this is being realistic and practical. Given the fact that you only get married once, you still have the rest of your lives together. This means months and months of bills, rent, mortgage payments, tuition fees, hospital bills, and insurance premiums. And lest we forget, there’s even the honeymoon after the wedding! These are but a few things that would require your attention and your checkbook so you can maintain your lifestyle. It’s okay to spend a lot on your wedding, but it definitely isn’t okay to be spending everything you’ve ever saved up for on it. Keep your feet firmly on the ground and don’t get your head up too high on the clouds when planning your wedding. Set a budget that you and your fiancé would agree on. If you think you can’t afford everything by yourselves, ask your parents if they can help out. Make your dream wedding come true if possible, but obviously not at the expense of your life and your responsibilities. This may be easy to accept for men, and you may need to do a little convincing when it comes to women. It’s always good to make your case by establishing how you will be having kids pretty soon.
