A wedding can be a truly memorable event. After all, it only happens once in a lifetime (depending on your relationship skills). With that in mind, a lot of people go ahead and splurge what they can to make it magical – breaking the bank in the process. True, your wedding day would be something you and your guests won’t ever forget; but after it you will have to face the ugly truth that you have to pay off a huge stack of bills for many months after. Of course, if you want to save on your wedding costs, you don’t need to settle for something lesser than what you want and just suck it in. There are a couple of methods to save on wedding costs without sacrificing your dream date (well, just a few corners anyway).
Don’t Over-Accommodate
A wedding coordinator is definitely a must for taking that stress off your shoulders. You won’t have to fight tooth and nail for that wedding hall, or haggle with that wedding giveaway shop that doesn’t seem to know what they are doing. Your wedding coordinator will gladly take that bullet for you. However this doesn’t mean that you always have to leave your decisions to the wedding coordinator. For example, a wedding coordinator might have double-booked your wedding date and end up messing up your dates. Instead of saying that you totally understand and that it’s cool, let them know that you were disappointed and you would take your business elsewhere. Keep in mind that wedding coordinators juggle at least 4 weddings at a time so mistakes can happen. Once they see that you mean business and you’re not a push over, they’ll make things clearer next time and they might even offer your discounts you never knew existed. If you accept everything a wedding coordinator does, whether g...

Since you’re dealing with a lot of vendors and service providers, there are a lot of contracts you need to keep track and sign. It can get pretty tiring and you might end up just signing on the dotted line without even knowing what else you signed up for. Resist that urge and carefully analyze what you’re agreeing to. You can even make sure to bring home a photocopy of the agreement, in case you need to refer to it later.
Wedding expenses can be scary for some people, scarier than the wedding itself. If you take heed our advices on how to save on wedding costs, not only will it be cheaper, but it won’t necessarily show that you cut corners for it.

The bride price can be anywhere from $5,000 - $10,000, depending on many factors, such as her purity or how valuable she is. The worth of a virgin woman to a divorced woman can significantly huge. The higher the bride-price, the more “virtue” the woman is. The bride price symbolizes a promise to always love and protect her and that the bride is in good hands. Lowering the bride price can be seen as disrespectful especially if the bride’s parent has a certain amount in mind. Lowering the price can also be seen as cheapening the promise that you’ll love and respect the woman. Marriage is an act of love and one of the important aspects of a wedding is for all the family to come and celebrate the couple’s commitment, wishing them for the best in the future. It’s sad to see when family politics and prices can’t come to an agreement because the husband’s side is trying to get a discount or side benefit or the wife’s side is selling their daughter at a ridiculously high fixed amount that the husband can’t

There are multiple reasons why a lot of couples decide to rush to Las Vegas, Nevada to get married. Some choose to quickly tie the knot, because they do not want to have a baby out of wedlock. Another reason is that their families do not support the relationship and they feel the need to prove them wrong. Lastly, it is typically a quicker process, affordable, and easier than planning a traditional wedding. Even though those are legitimate reasons there is nothing special about having a Las Vegas wedding.
You should keep track of all payments, deposits and remember which vendors have been paid off. Trust me when I say it can get extremely stressful and is by far one of the brides/grooms least favorite part about getting married.
Even though I am not Catholic, I would still like to have 6 months to a year of preparation to handle all of the issues and challenges before the wedding. I see it as a time to get all the planning done and go through the bad to get to the good part which is being married to the love of your life. It is very important for someone to prepare for marriage and to not rush into it because just like anything else in life, you need to prepare. Marriage is a lifelong commitment to another person and cannot just be treated as any other ordinary thing. Marriage is a responsibility and companionship comes from it if there is a proper
Our wedding cost a total of seventy-two dollars, this included the license and ceremony. I should also include the cost of what I call 'our wedding planner.' His name was Jake and he was a taxi driver, he charged us fifteen dollars and we tipped him fifteen for his extra duties, it was a special day. When we arrived in Las Vegas from Boulder our car started to over heat from the long drive through the hot desert. We decided to park it at the hotel. We hailed a cab and set off to find a place to get married. We had a deadline; our honeymoon was scheduled to begin the next day. The cab driver drove us past several different chapels giving us details about each one. After a brief survey of chapels we asked him to drop us off at the justice of the peace. The chapels just seemed too cheesy and besides, I had no real affection for Elvis. He dropped us off in front of a large, very official looking building to get the license and he directed us across the street to a small brick office where the ceremonies are held. I had the distinct feeling that he has provided this service a few times before in his career.
*Note - I am currently working on a book that I have tentatively titled Wed Frugal. I did not want this book to turn into a clone of Bridal Bargains by Denise and Alan Fields. As a result, I no longer have a publisher. Regardless, I will likely finish the book in the fall/winter of this year and eventually try to find a publisher for it. My goal is to finish the book in the manner that I have always wanted to write it. Below, you will find an excerpt of the book:
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." Weddings are when two people vow to each other come together, I have been dreaming and planning mine since I was 10 years old. I thought weddings were a celebration and just full of fun, but to get there you have to go through all the planning and the getting ready. Four Weddings and Say Yes to the Dress, (two of my favorite wedding shows), have taught me a lot about all the different weddings and how they are set up. I figured that what I want to be when I grow up is a wedding planner, but I really didn’t know much about what the job entailed.
Wedding planning companies are spectacular in a way that they also cater to Costume and Wardrobe Management, Fashion Choreography and Talent Management.

Before a couple gets married, they have their own bills and personal spending habits. When they get married they must merge their finances together.
