Reception is cheap, food is cheap, wedding dress rental is cheap, church is cheap or free. Don't see how you spend more than 5k and that includes $995.00 for the ring.

cuz of the open bar, which cost a GRIP.

5k is still too much, and I'll some alcohol off to the side Heineken and wine coolers.

I don't think $11k is expensive over a 3 year engagement. That's like $305 a month. At the same time I think whatever plans the OP's fiance had could be done for 8k.

I'm going to just say this. This is basically her day. Women dream of the white dressing, in front of family and friends at a beautiful location. Give it to her to the best of your ability. Explain to her that you dont want to spend that much and create a budget that you are both comfortable with and STICK to it but at the end of the day it will make her happy. Happy wife, happy life.

women may dream of this scenario, but it goes against all rational thinking. that 11k could be better spent as savings, or downpayment for a crib. remember the threadstarter already got kids with her. why waste it on a big party????

me and my husband went the cheap route cuz we paid for it ourselves, we spent about 1k. we dont have many friends so wasnt no use of doing it big. we had a church wedding and a lil reception. no bridesmaids or groomsmen. we decorated the reception with stuff we got at party city. we served em chicken wings and salad and of course the wedding cake. and since we were doing it at our church no liqqa which saved us money and trouble. had a nice lil honeymoon too. it can be done u just need to put ya foot down.

If you have kids and plan on living with and staying with the mother....you NEED to get married

 

[CrimsonTider]

Do you understand what rights the dad doesn't have if he is not married to mother.

Im talking from the standpoint of life insurance, taxes, custody etc.

No, the birth certificate confers no rights to the parent

It is simply record of birth

but the name on the birth certificate can get the child support, income tax benefits , social security and death benefits, with just the name on the birth certificate and take it from an old head who has many children i know this for sure
