The Two Thousand Dollar Wedding Next Door
I recently just started reading The Millionaire Next Door. I am only about a third of the way through it, but if you care anything about personal finance, I suggest you pick up that book and read it. So far, it is so good.
Lately, I’ve been struggling a lot with wedding planning. Not because I’m having second thoughts about getting married, but because I’m frugal and therefore I cannot make my peace with spending beaucoup money on oneday. I want to have a nice wedding that our guests enjoy and something to show that we appreciate their attendance while respecting our own financial situation at the same time.
Is this too much to ask???
The other day, I was whining to my mom about how I was feeling so much pressure to spend a lot of money on the wedding. I told her how I am fine being the frugal girl I am, but I am re-thinking my decision to hold back cost-wise because I don’t want anyone to say anything negative about me or my fiancé. (I realize this is pretty silly, but it is also valid.)
