Of my budget 6k is the venue 6k is the honeymoon.

I REFUSE to make cuts agains the honeymoon, Its my wedding its what I want. Sod everyone else.

its all about priorities and everyone is different if you want an expensive honeymoon and you can afford it go for it you'll only do it once. i didnt want to compromise on my dress i fell in love with it and as its my day i wanted to feel fabulous but it was more than twice the original budget so i had to cut back elsewhere. our 'honeymoon' is a week at butlins with the kids (2 toddlers) lol which was already booked before we even thought about getting married. hopefully when the kids are a bit older we will get a belated proper honeymoon.

We are fortunate to not have any kids, nor do we intend to have any until a year or two after we are married.

All that matters to me is what she thinks, I'd marry her in the middle of a farmers field for all I care.

If somebody asks my opinion I just pass off to the wife to be.

runawaybride

with that attitude you'll have a long happy marriage lol.

That is what it should be about though, in my opinion anyway. The budget I set is there for her to spend as she see's fit.

Fortunately she has enough common sense not to blow the lot on one area and leave us backed into a corner.

My mother (who is more excited than I am) is doing our invites, all I am paying for is the material and wine for her and the others making them.

SAVINGS GALORE!

Booked our honeymoon - saved £700. She works for NHS so with Virgin gets 5% reduction in cost, I bartered the rest.

Rings - She found her perfect on in H Samuel - £150 9ct White Gold
Mine is £300, but in a different store. I hope they can obtain that style for me. We are waiting for a wedding fayre in August to recieve an additional 10% off.
