Don't Break the Bank

Weddings can be extremely costly. Traditionally, the bride's parents would foot the bill for the wedding, but today most couples are paying for their wedding expenses themselves. Protect yourself in the beginning by drafting a clear realistic budget and sticking to it. Your goal is to achieve the wedding you've always envisioned without exceeding your stated budget. If it means placing your budget worksheet in a prominent location and referring to it before making a spontaneous purchase-do it! You will thank yourself later. The last thing you want to think/stress about after returning from your honeymoon is the mountain of debt you acquired from overspending.
