I'm pretty sure the arguments will get worse as we move on. We already got some connects w/ the basic wedding needs (photog, dress) but I'm personally not thinking about it now. It stresses the +@+# out of me.

congratulations my man. have a nice married life.

I asked her father, if you are gonna help then help...im not forcing you but i would appreciate it and her being her first daughter and first one getting married will also appreciate it, at the end he came forward and decided to help with half of the reception and so did my mother...of course this was when our list was at 75 guests, we went thru the ropes about who should and shouldnt be invited and the list grew to almost 100....at this point i took out a 3500$ loan to cover for the extra cost, if you future father-in-law is the reason why you are having so many guests then you should talk to him, he should be responsible for helping you out, otherwise he can keep his guests out....it is yours and her wedding not his!

Yes, we've considered that, but I don't really want to ask help from him though it's expected since my girl's the youngest of his 4 daughters *

I'm pretty sure you've thought of this, but mind if I ask you on how financially stable you are at the present?

Im dat dude, I can't front like I don't know what you are saying....I told my girl the same thing a bunch of times...but I guess I had a change of mind and wanted something more...no I won't love her any more or less....is hard to explain, I guess is something you gotta feel for yourself and want, like I stated earlier I was very aainst marriage and thought if it as just a contract, but things changed...

Btw I don't think anyone goes into such a comittment expecting to fail....so I'm not thinking about how or when is gonna end now.

me and my girl are tying the knot on october 15, everything is going well as far as the planning, just trying to save as much $$$ as we can.

it's all about budget budget budget! try to save more than what you're planning to save. it's always good to save a little something extra incase for any added costs.

good luck to everyone that's getting married this year. it'll be sooner than you'll think until the wedding day

While I do not fully know your given situation, this is what I can advise based on my experience - do not waste a bunch of money on your wedding. If I could go back in time, I would have done a city hall ceremony and a private family dinner.

My in-laws followed "traditional wedding etiquette," they paid for the wedding, my parents paid for the rehearsal dinner and other miscellaneous expenses. All in all I think our wedding totalled $25k. My in-laws would have been willing to give us that cash otherwise. Not every situation presents itself like ours, but still, you're better off being frugal with a wedding, and saving money towards a lifetime (hopefully) spent together. I much rather would have had $25k to go towards our home fund than to have those 4.5 hours immortalized in a photo album, nothing more, nothing less. The end result is the same, you're married. No sense in going all out for something that represents a fraction of your life with your significant other. It's tough because women are brought up on the idea of extravagant princess weddings, whatever, but try to explain the rational side of things.

marriage is not a good thing these days. he will be back on here within 1 year talking about his divorce

Here you go luang, www.silverleafweddings.com

there's always two side to the coin, you have to be open minded about a topic like marriage, I don't take offense to someone who doesn't agree with my views, I came to this decision not for anyone else but myself and what will make my girl happy.

Yo solematic!...sup bro!!...crash the wedding!...or tell Diego to ditch Eribelkis and bring you...lol...JK!

 

[israel5ekla]

well so far our reception is costing us 7k, 100 guests
That explains it, after I read a 5k budget I was like...

100 guests should be good.

Nice picture^ Beautiful lady too. Congrats and good luck.
I plan on having 200-300 guests so my budget will be up there, yes people dont forget for food you pay per plate.
On my wedding day I dont want my family to cook or clean or worry about a thing, I want everyone to enjoy it

 

[solematic j21]

lol I hope she catches something and get sick so i can replace her. Diego needs to tie the knot now.

[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]You're 28 and you been with her for 10 years? YIKES!... Some of you don't take the opportunity to meet different people huh?[/color]



Some people don't need to date around to know who they want to marry. Some people know that the person they are with, is the one they want to spend their life with.

marriage is not a good thing these days. he will be back on here within 1 year talking about his divorce

Works for people who operate under what a marriage is supposed to be.
