hope this isnt too much of a personal question..but do you guys plan on paying for the wedding?
we would like to use our tax return and I think i may have to borrow a little with student loan

Re: how is everyone paying?
We're paying everything ourselves. My parents are paying for the videographer and half of my dress. FH and I have an emigrantdirect account that we deposit $3000 a month into since we got engaged. FH and I are also saving to buy a house. It also helps that I live with my parents rent free

Re: how is everyone paying?
My parents are paying for everything, even if my FH parents wanted to pay for something my parents would not take anything from them.

we are paying by ourselves.
paying deposits as they come.
hoping to have saved enough for the final RH payment by the time it comes around.

FH and I are paying for everything ourselves, in cash! I can't believe we pulled it off in 6 months!!!

Re: how is everyone paying?
We're paying for everything by ourselves. We're paying all cash including the honeymoon (although we may use our CCs for spending money on the honeymoon). With just over 3 months to go, we've already saved enough to pay the honeymoon in full & all but about $1,000 of the wedding costs. We're so proud of ourselves!

Re: how is everyone paying?
own my own for the most part....i had to take out a loan for the hall that hopefully i`ll make back enough after the wedding to just pay it off. my mom is gonna chip in whatever she can save up during the year and FMIL says she`s going to pay for flowers and the rehersal dinner. she`s in FLA so i don`t know how thats gonna work out yet.

Re: how is everyone paying?
I have to say that if not for both our families we'd be eloping.
FH's parents are paying for the RH, and a few other things.
My family is paying for my gown, florist, DJ, photographer, and a few other things.

it is SUCH a great feeling isnt it? as my bank account goes up i have a list of stuff i will be able to pay . . . and as the list gets longer and longer i am so excited - it is hard but i feel like we really have something to be proud of and its a great start to our married life - so yay for us!

Re: how is everyone paying?
My parents bought my gown and veil but FH and I are paying for everything else. We've saved enough to pay cash for everything (including honeymoon) and have some money left for when we move in together.

we had a two year engagement and each saved about $1000 a month in an ING direct account - we will be able to pay for the entire wedding in cash!! so excited about that
my parents helped with a few things like invitation, favors and my dress BUT we are paying for the majority of the wedding ourselves
the only thing we are putting on credit is our honeymoon bc credit cards have a kind of travel insurance on them - we are also getting separate travel insurance though - but we will pay that off when we get back anyway.
tilde that is great. if you can keep that up after the wedding you'll be buying a house in no time!!!!

Re: how is everyone paying?
we are really fortunate. both our parents are chipping in a lot. we will be doing the remaining.
and my grandma left me money when she passed for my gown - i put that in a separate account so i make sure i only use it for that!!!

Re: how is everyone paying?
We are very lucky, all we're paying for ourselves is the HM! My parents are paying for everything, just FH's family is paying for the RD.
