So I woke up this morning to the news that one of my close family members is having some pretty big financial difficulties. It has really got me thinking about this wedding. Part of me, at this point, feels really bad about spending around 10grand on a one day event. Why should we (fi and I) spend all that money on 1 day when that amount of money can be used to help those who really need it.
I know its my wedding and that it is a very big deal, I just cant help but feel like so much more could be done with that money. Even if we backed out of the big wedding at this point, there is 7k (4 of which we will owe) that we wont be able to get back.
I know I need to get over the amount of money we are spending and just be happy about this wedding. At least I can say though that this post is not about my desire to get married in Vegas. I wouldn't mind getting married at the same venue just with a smaller guest list.
I'll talk to FI but I have a feeling he's going to stand firm on the 120 guest wedding.
Thanks for letting me ramble and get my thoughts out there!
