We basically cut out all unnecessary spending (we hardly ever go out anymore) and consolidated whatever debt we had, and then basically put the bulk of the money left over into a 'Wedding Account' we started.

If applicable...
See if you can have a set portion of your paycheck direct deposited into a seperate account.
That's what I do, and I just pretend what the remainder is, is my real salary.
I've saved ALOT so far, b.c I never see it.

We figured about how much we were going to need to pay for everything, opened a joint savings account, and put a set amount into it each week. This way it doesn't hurt as much, the money definitely goes in, and we still have some...not much....play money.

i told my fh i dont want to go out to dinner anymore,movies, and any unneccessary spending. i just hope that we have enough money to do it the day we want. i don't want to book anything yet until we know we have the money.the way its looking i dont think we're going to be able to do it until 2005.it seems so far away.
