i agree 100% I think that nothing should be hidden.... each have their own bank accounts and then one joint for bills, and the gifts as well!

I think that putting everything together may cause unnecessary issues!

We have similar, we each have our own checking/savings accounts, but then have a checking account setup that all engagement presents have gone to and all wedding expenses are coming out of

We each have our own checking & savings. We also have one joint account we refer to as the 'wedding fund'. Basically, any gifts we get are put into this account. We both try to put away as much as we can into the wedding fund from our paychecks each week.

We have decided that we are also going to have 3 bank accounts...each one of us will have their own and then we will have one together for wedding money and house money...

We each have our own checking/saving accounts and we also have a joint ING account and joint checking/savings for all our wedding stuff. And we have a 5gal. water jug we use for our spare change its filling up nicely lol I need a vacation we usually use the $$ in our jug for spending $ for vacation. We have our beach house in fire island in July so we might not take a vacation until the fall :(

we each have our own banks accounts...we are not going to open one together until it gets MUCH closer to the wedding or even after the wedding.

We're going to do his, hers, and ours accounts...we'll both have our own accounts and a joint account..FH isn't a big fan of the idea but I think it's necessary because we have very different spending styles..I think it'll avoid a lot of arguments..
