I am doing all the work and paying for it for everyone else's benefit (how it feels right now)! Not that I want or need someone to pay for it, but seriously everyone wanted a big wedding but no one thinks of the cost and stress it puts on a couple to do that! Sal is concerned I'll regret not doing a wedding but I don't think I will. I think it might be a bit late to cancel now though! We already put the deposit on the hall & photographer down.
I know I'll be thrilled the day of... I can't wait for that day to get here!!! lol

I decided to drop in. That first degree is done and I am twiddling my thumbs. Listen...remember first and foremost make that wedding what you want and can afford. Families always want this, that or the other and want to invite folks that they feel obligated to, yet no one offers to pay for anything. So stick to your guns, do what you want, and spend what you can afford. That is the best way to make it enjoyable and not overstress your pockets or mind.

I think it totally rocks that Sal is doing his part. So many folks future hubbies tend to just want to show up and let the bride do it all.
