Why do people need to get married NOW! if they are on a budget.?
I will never assimilate since brides highlight so most upon an eventuality which is so critical since they have to stay inside of a budget. If we have been formulation upon removing tied together which implies which we have been formulation to be together til genocide do we part. So since can’t we put off a date until we have a income to have a marriage which we unequivocally want, but a monetary highlight or debt.

Whether you are getting married no or later you should have a budget. You don’t want to spend too much money and end up in debt. I can still have my dream wedding without spending a lot. I set a budget of $7500. Why spend a lot of money on a venue that you are going to use like 5 hours. I am spending way less on my venue and it doubles as the ceremony and reception site. Plus I get it for 17 hours so there is no rush to set up or no stress about running a little late. I am doing a lot myself. Some people tell me that I am putting to much stress on myself by doing these things but I find it more stressful trying to find someone to do those things that I can afford. Besides I am a DYI kind of girl. I am into cooking, decorating, organizing, making flower arrangements and much more. I am preparing the food, doing the flower arrangements, and setting up. I don’t see any need for me to hire a bunch of people (which will cost a lot more) when spend less and do some of it myself. It is actually relaxing for me. Plus several of my close friends and family members told me they want to help (and I didn’t even ask). So it really just depends on the person.
financial stress and debt seem to follow folks around until death
well one reason why alot of people are still getting married in this ecconomy is becasue the wife or husband needs to get on the others health dentist ect insurance
A lot of people have their own dreams and goals about their future weddings and don’t know how to spend their money wisely, so they stress after they find out they spent too much. All about being smart and knowing your limitations, NOT worrying about them only when you’re in trouble.
You set a budget out of financial responsibility, so you don’t put yourself in debt. We stayed in our means and didn’t go crazy. We had a wedding around 2500.00 and it was a decent wedding/reception. Everybody thought we poured about 8000.00 into it, but it was all about bargain hunting and budget shopping.
We wanted to be able to get married before buying a house/having kids, because those are HUGE wallet drainers(even though they’re good ones..) and having a decent wedding that we would have liked, would have most likely been out of the question then..
Well the fact is that even if I have 25,000 dollars sitting in the bank I’m not going to spend every cent of it on one day. So there for I set a budget of $5,000 so that I can have the rest for my future with my husband. And everyone’s dream weddings usually will cost about 1.5 million. Just guessing you understand but I’d have my dream wedding dress made instead of settling for the closest I can find. I’d have everyone flown to the location I’ve dreamed of all my life. I’d use real flowers of my favorite even if it wasn’t in season. You see where I’m going with this. I want to get on with my life because I don’t want to waste years living at my house away from my fiance and only seeing him once a week (we don’t believe in living together before we’re married). I’m ready to be his wife because the best part isn’t the wedding regardless if I spent 1.5million or 5,000 the best part is spending the rest of my life with the man I love. Being there with him when he’s had a bad day so I can rub his shoulders and kiss him good night. To start a family (once again we feel it’s not right before we’re married). Why should I waste years of my life not doing the things I want the most just because I don’t have an endless amount of money sitting in my bank account?
People are limited by their income levels and their financial responsibilities. I’m sure a lot of people would love a $30,000 wedding. But, saving for something like that, could take years. If you’re not making a good salary or have a lot of bills, that could take 5 years or maybe even never.
Eventually, you have to work with what you have and get married. In the end, the wedding day is about the marriage. It would be silly to put off a wedding or prolong an engagement for more than 2 years, because you want to save more for a wedding. It reaches a point where the waiting is just unreasonable.
For most people, keeping things within a budget is a necessity that occurs throughout their entire lives. Just like we have to buy cars, clothes, and groceries on a budget. I, for one, have to buy my car on a budget, rather than waiting until I have the money to buy my dream car, so rather than riding my bike to work (eleven miles in the winter in Minnesota? Oh h*ll no!), I find a car that I can afford. I can’t afford to wear designer clothes, so I’m stuck with jeans and tshirts from Target and Walmart, but it for darn sure is better than going nekkid.
For most people, to put off a wedding until one has enough money to afford everything just as one dreams of, means putting it off until winning a huge lottery jackpot or being diagnosed with a qualifying fatal illness so that you can collect on your life insurance before you actually die. This is not as practical as you might think. For those of us who want to get married before we are dead or diagnosed with a fatal illness, we are left with planning an event on a budget. My own dream wedding is a destination wedding where the destination is someplace warm and sunny. But since I can’t afford to fly everyone I love to the Bahamas, I’ll compromise with reality, and settle for a nice outdoor location in this area during summer. Since I can’t afford to hire Emeril to cater, I’ll probably settle for having a favorite restaurant cater, and hope they cut me a good deal because I’m a good customer.
