Not yet. It'll probably hit me about a month before the wedding when we have to make all of the final payments. But FH is meticulous about planning our finances so we've really had no surprises...that's until I get my quote from the florist on Wednesday!!!

Re: Are you guys freaking about how much your wedding is costing you??????

Yes b/c for a while I thought we were in good shape. We figured it would run about 35k w/ honeymoon & now it's looking closer to 47k.

I JUST realized now we'll be about 7k short!!! We got to step up how much we're putting in e/ week!!!

Scary

I just did mine on the knot and I am a little over $35k with the honeymoon. The little things are still not added in. I think I am going to hit $50k. SHITTTTTTTTTTTTT

Re: Are you guys freaking about how much your wedding is costing you??????

What is mind boggling is that I think I am paying pretty reasonable prices for everything. I can't imagine if I splurged a little.

Re: Are you guys freaking about how much your wedding is costing you??????

Oh my god, it is crazy! I only have 18 days to go!!!!! Most of my final payments are all due this and next week. We are paying for 90% of it ourselves and we figured about $20-$25,000. Well, the whole thing is costing more like $48,000. We screwed ourselves so bad because we never actually set a budget. We said we were going to make sacrifices but before you know it we had chair covers, chocolate fountain, ice sculptures, 3 SUV stretch limos, 36 roses in high centerpieces, the whole nine....

It will all be over in a blink of an eye so enjoy every moment of it with your new hubby!!!

Best of Luck!

Re: Are you guys freaking about how much your wedding is costing you??????

Sometimes I want to throw up.

When you really think about it logically, it doesn't make any sense. I started this process saying I didn't want a big wedding, and then I spun out of control.
