My fiance and I have different viewpoints on wedding finances. Our parents have been gracious enough to contribue $$ to pay for the reception (food & venue) and we will be in charge of the rest.
We have $$ saved for this and 1.5 years until the wedding so the ability to pay for it isn't an issue. He just dislikes the idea of spending money on a one-day event. We've compromised in many areas to save costs, but any time I bring up an idea, he only cares about $$. We already own a house, have similar views on finances (other than this, of course), both save instead of spend our money. And most importantly, I am not planning an over-the-top event. I want it to be simple, elegant, and *within* our budget.
When I share ideas, he shares how we could build a deck or remodel a bathroom instead. It's very true, but it's our WEDDING. His reactions make me feel stressed and take the fun out of planning. Any advice?
