Yeah, haha... I have to go get my passport renewed but I'm trying to avoid the inevitable gross, hideous, and completely unidentifiable passport picture for as long as possible.

Work!  Definitely, definitely work.

I have student loans.  A LOT of student loans. My payment is crazy high so in order to save for the wedding i got a 2nd job. he accepts this, but he always says things like you wouldnt have to work 2 jobs if you didnt have loans.  Um really? Thanks I didnt know that already.  Sometimes I get stressed thinking about us getting a house. How I feel my contribution sucks bc of the loans, and after we move I wont be keeping the 2nd job so I can actually enjoy my house and things.

Money is our biggest issue.  He has student loans and some debt that I don't have, and I also make a bit more than he does, so we don't have the traditional roles of bread winner.  Being a "mans man," I think it gets him frustrated.

I went with HIS FAMILY... but its really just his brother's wife.... she is the most self centered person we have either met, and she creates so much unnecessary drama! Neither of us can stand her!

I went with his family but it's more just his mom. She's an alcoholic that hasn't realized she has a problem yet. There have been times when they've gone months without speaking and his dad will harp on him about it.

ours is our living situation right now - we aren't sure what we will be doing yet and we fight about it more than we should

WORK!  We both have jobs that are very stressful and require long hours.  Can't even go on vacation without work being a problem.

Money - I work full time and he just went to school to become a teacher.  Hopefully he gets a jon in September or else I'll be paying all our bills by myself.

I would say money obviously- we don't fight about it but it's a source of stress for both of us right now- esp after sending out so many big checks to our vendors!

I would also say OUR families- I love them both but mekding 2 very different families isn't easy on either of us. I always say we should take a year off from them both after the wedding just to get over how much drama they caused throughout the wedding planning process.

Other!

His indecision is driving me insane.

That's a lot of fun when you're trying to make decisions on a wedding! I can't tell you how many times he's said "yeah, let's go with that place" only to turn around and say "I don't know. I don't think it fits us."

We haven't even gotten past the venue selection portion here, but I'm thinking this will be the biggest hurdle we have to jump in terms of his decision-making. I hope.
