OH God, tell me about it.. this is the main reason why we chose to plan this wedding for a little over 2 years.... we take our time save all the money we can and take it day by day.. so far we have been fine and no stress and I truly hope it stays this way..
Thank God hubby makes alot of Mula and gets awesome bonus' about 6 times out the year

Re: Doing my august expenses and bill paying

Re: Doing my august expenses and bill paying
OMG I made one too.. but most of it I dont have set prices on so it's really based on assumptions ( besides) SC and OMGGGGG Iwas sooo scared at the total so what I have to try to do is stay below my assumptions and we will be fine and DH will not want to kill me.. lol

Re: Doing my august expenses and bill paying
Same reasons FH and I choose 2+ years also. We needed plenty of time to save and be able to pay things off w/o stressing. Also your right Hildie.. we need to book these vendors so we'll know exactly what we're paying! RH out the way now onto the next most expensive.. photo/video. I didn't even know it was so expensive until I started checking prices. Def had to add onto our orginal budget. Hopefully we won't have to do it anymore.

Re: Doing my august expenses and bill paying
I'm right there with ya! I looked at all of the prices the other day and thought I was going to DIE- I kept saying there is no way in HELL we are gonna have this money, even having almost 2 years, especially since I'm only working part time now and going to school.
But today I just found out I got an $8000 scholarship I applied for!!!!
I was so happy!!! Guess I'll be getting that band I want now
