So, thanks to the knot and my research, I've set a tentative budget of $10,000. I will try very hard to stick to it, but I'll make sure that FI and I put aside $12,000 just in case.
Here's what I've accomplished:
-I've found my photographer. We still need to discuss prices, but it should be doable.
- I've decided that I'm definitely going to do a private ceremony at city hall and then have a restaurant reception. The restaurant is TBA.
-I've purchased my DIY invitations because I got them for a steal.
And that's it. There is no need for me to do anything else. My wedding is too far to really think about much more. All I need to do now is save up and focus on getting in shape. I feel good about everything.
