getting married in november this year
dont get me wrong i absolutely LOVE wifey and cannot wait to marry her. but making all these payments is killing me. we on course but a nikka eating peanut butter sandwiches for dinner most of the week.
reception hall - 15k (everything included; sit down dinner, open bar, decorations, 250 guests, champagne toast, and table cloths and all that shyt)
her dress - 1200
her ring - 2500
my band - 350
photographer/videographer/dj/limo - 4000
church ceremony - 200
retreat for church ceremony - 200(
)
honeymoon - all inclusive 1 week stay at punta cana, dr with flights - 2400
plus apartment - 2500.(lowballing it cause we already have the bare necessities in furniture ie bed, couch)
TOTAL - $28,350
luckily, her parents and my parents are helping out a little and her brother buying invitations, my aunt buying wedding favors, her aunt making the cake, my mother and godmother buying the flowers, and we have 250 guests. so hopefully we can get at least 10k in gift money. i hope
But it has been her dream since she was a little girl and she deserves it and even tho shyt is killing my pockets, im very happy to give her her dream wedding.
but the practical side of me is crying
