Re: Saving for the wedding
My hubby and I are paying for our own wedding. Our budget is about US$ 5000, we're getting a lot of help from friends willing to pitch in for food, music, venue etc. I've already been to a party store and bought coloured paper flags for the decorations! We're fortunate enough to have savings already as I've been working since 17 and always saved.
We'd honestly rather just have the money to put towards a place to live. I was talking to another friend getting married and she was insisting that a wedding must be perfect because you only marry once (hopefullY!) but to me a perfect wedding would be all my loved ones having fun together. The only thing I'm splashing out on is the lehenga because I think after so many years of being sensible and saving, I deserve some splashing out!!
