We are going all out too. I have never gone on vacation with my FH so...we are definitely making up for that. We havent decided where yet but we will definitely be staying at a really nice place.

We are skimping - we are poor

seriously, the wedding is killing us. We had to be reasonable! We will try to go all out for our anniversary.

Re: For couples that paid or are paying for there own wedding....

Thanks for your help, you made my decision a little easier. Of course for my FH it was easy in the beginning because he said go all out, me on the other had was tring to save some money. But it is once in a life time and who knows when we will ever go back to hawaii, right?!

Re: For couples that paid or are paying for there own wedding....

At first we were like- we will save money by doing something small for HM... something near by that we would drive and only do 5-7 days. But now that time has gone on, I really really want to go big. I want to go to the Islands and do an all inclusive resort. So... we will see how our budget is going.

Re: For couples that paid or are paying for there own wedding....

We are seriously paying for our entire wedding...so that is more of a reason for us to GO ALL OUT. We've decided to just put it on a credit card and deal with the bills when we get back...We definitely deserve it for all those months of saving and doing nothing.

Regina, I've stayed at the Bellagio and the Venetian stay at the Venetian in Vegas, it's very reasonable and very luxurious. Bellagio is beautiful but not worth DOUBLE the cost.

Re: For couples that paid or are paying for there own wedding....

We are paying for TWO weddings!
One in NYC (150 people) and one in South Africa (250 people)!!
Anyway, we have to fly in my FI family from South Africa and pay for hotels for 2 weeks!
We then have to fly ourselves to South Africa for the next wedding. I think we will have a honeymoon in Mauritius - off the coast of Madagascar. I mean who else is going to go there? Yet it is an incredible island in Southern Africa. I don't feel like traveling so far unless I'm having a vacation too.

My FI is an MBA student and I am unemployed.
This is gonna be one heck of a stressful year. Luckily we are savers but this year money only goes out the door and nothing comes in!!!
