 Saving on Wedding Catering and Photography   Set your food budget Wedding food is crazy expensive. Food is often the greatest cost in a wedding budget and can run north of $100 a person. I was a little nervous that we wouldn’t be able to serve great food at our wedding for a reasonable price. With a $10,000 budget and a 110 person guest list, we needed to be way below $100 a person. Even $75 per … [Read more...] about A Very Frugal Wedding: Saving on Food and Photos

  Our Frugal Winter Wedding Strategy I am shocked when I see budgets in bridal magazines about how much couples are spending on their weddings. It seems that $30,000 weddings have become the norm and somehow my $10,000 wedding is considered cheap.

  “There is something different about your engagement ring,” says my best friend as she stares intensely at my hand. “It just looks a bit off.” Panic floods my brain. She knows! She knows! “That can’t be a diamond, right?” she asks. My face turns beat red. “You’re right. It’s not a diamond.” I confess. Gasp!

So, do you want to get married tomorrow? I asked my fiancé this question on Monday.  We've been engaged for three and a half months now and are planning our wedding for next year. Given that today is New Years Eve and I'm a personal finance nut, I have been of course thinking about taxes this week. (I made my Goodwill donation this morning with all the other psychos.
