Hi everyone! Thank you for making me Bride of the Week, it's going to be hard to come up with good questions because so many were already asked!
First question: What did you have to sacrifice for FH or wedding?
I had to sell and throw out at least half of my personal belongings and give my animals away. Since FH and I will be moving into a 1 bedroom apartment I didn't think I could fit any of my stuff, especially not pets.
I really haven't had to sacrifice anything for FH.
For the wedding I've just been budgeting better and we don't go out to eat as often. Thats about it though.

Congrats on being chosen BOTW!
I sacrificed 3 years away from family and friends to try living in TX for FH since he hated NY and thought we'd be better off in Dallas. When he saw how unhappy I was there, he did buy me a plane ticket to NY every 3 months so I could visit my parents...and eventually, he agreed to move here. So, we both sacrificed for each other.
Now, we are skipping a lot of dinners out and movies, but I don't consider it a sacrifice since it forces us to eat better and get some use out of our Netflix subscription.

We were long distance for a long time - so I suppose my sanity was sacrificed for a while. Now its mostly budgeting, which we both suck at. Trying to cut corners as much as we can for the wedding but it hasnt been anything horrible. We've also been eating better! Which is a plus.

We haven't sacrificed anything when it comes to our wedding. I haven't sacrificed when it comes to FH either. We don't go out to eat as much so if I had to pick something it would be that.

I have had to sacrifice my heart. I love my FH more than words can say. I'm getting teary eyed thinking about it because I would never change it for the world. I've sacrificed my planning skills because his heart is going into planning our wedding and is so responsible with anything planning related. Lastly, I've really just sacrificed my precious time because this is a wedding two years in the making. These are all things I'm so happy to have given up to spend the rest of my life with a man I will love wholeheartedly for the rest of my life <3 <3 <3

We haven't sacrificed anything for the wedding or with each other.
I think living together in general is a compromise so maybe I sacrificed coming home from work and plopping on my parents couch which is what I used to do when I lived home, now I come home and have responsibilities of a household!

I haven't sacrificed anything for FH. He's really great and actually tries to give me more than what I had before him. I haven't had to sacrifice anything for my wedding either. I just book what I can afford and I'm having a very inexpensive wedding.
We've both sacrificed going out to eat more than a couple of times a month. I also agree with Stephanie that living together is a huge compromise. Not that I don't love it, but it's definitely different when you have to come home and cook and clean instead of just plopping in front of the computer for the rest of the night!

I honestly don't think I have sacrificed anything for FH. I really feel so lucky to be with someone as great as him and he just adds so much to my life.

I don't think of anything I've done for FH as a sacrifice. I consider it all compromises and I am so happy I have the opportunity to change my life and begin a new one with this wonderful man. Even with planning, and budgeting, sometimes I just have to take a step back and remember how truly lucky I am.

Aside from giving up a couple hockey games & eating home more, we really haven't had to sacrifice anything. I don't shop as much as I would like but that is my choice. I am saving for our future together and that is worth more to me then any pair of shoes.
As far as a sacrific FOR fh, I have had to go to a few more Yankees games then I would like & listen to more classic rock then I would prefer. Other then that, he would never have me sacrifice anything I want or love for him

We haven't sacrificed anything major for the wedding. We have been trying to not go out to eat as much and not frivolously spend money like it's nothing. We're going into Contract on a house this week so we might put saving for the wedding onto the side for a little while we get settled and comfortable with the house.
As far as FH, he would never make/let me sacrifice anything that I loved or wanted to do for him.
