I think 30K is great! To be able to get all that stuff in there is def good planning..

I am not posting my budget- people will think I am out of my mind.

I'm paying about 30,000 in total. I was also wondering if that was OK.

We are hoping for $18,000 tops. We are very close, but only have a few more things to do.

Thanks guys! I fought with my FH about the budget last night since he is giving me 10,000 and than said- I'm done. I told him all the planning I had done and how I was way below budget on everything. Finding all those budget vendors was not easy, I'll tell you. Thanks to you guys- it never would have happened. We decided to compromise and now are each contributing 11500. My parents are giving the rest. It still doesn't cover the honeymoon or rings but I decided not to tell him that yet!!!

I know! But that was what my FH wanted! I told him the other day we always could cut the band and there was a big silence
