Including EVERYTHING, from the RH to the dress to the petal cones (NOT INCLUDING HM), how much are you spending or did you spend? Is it way more than your budget?

Just feel like doing a poll today

I will probably be completely average at 28k. Assuming we don't go over our min, which I'm praying to god we won't. We've actually been able to get everything we wanted without spending tooooooo much, I'm such a brat.

Hopefully $15K...we are having a small wedding so that is why. This is without the honeymoon.

Wowzers, at least we're still feeding this crappy economy!

Re: How much did you/will you spend?

Well, my parents are paying for the reception. FH is paying for the band (which totally killed our budget!!!!!!!!!) and I am paying for the rest. Our budget was 40k (parents money included), but we have definitely gone over. I think we are up to 47k Sometimes I think....geez, maybe we should use that money for a house instead............

That's an 'OUCH' question! We actually tallied up everything this weekend and OMG I can't believe the amount of $$$ we're spending. We are double what we THOUGHT we could spend for a wedding.

Re: How much did you/will you spend?

I hate saying this but when all is said and done, the wedding cost way over 50K! It's nuts that this money during this economy is so scarce and thrown into a wedding when it could have been put towards a house.

Re: How much did you/will you spend?

I'm really good with sticking to budget so we are on target with $30,000.00. I'm sure the closer we get it will go up a few thousand!!

Re: How much did you/will you spend?

I think I went just a little over 20k. It definitely adds up quickly

Re: How much did you/will you spend?

AAHHHH! So scary to even admit this...
But with EVERYTHING, HM, RH, etc you name it included... we will be around 70,000!!!!!

I originally thought it would be 30,000!!!! BOY WAS I OFF!

The RH ran us a bit more than I thought it would... and then everything after that was higher than I thought as well. Also, the HM is over 8,000 so that pushed us up a nice chunk too.

November 7th (well maybe after the HM) I'm sure I'll be thinking about how much this all came out to and be dreaming about a HOUSE downpayment! GGRRRRR!
