SCARY FIGURE!!!!

Okay so I have been booking vendors pretty much by going with what i felt i loved and what also felt like a good price.
So i sat down and started to make my list of everything i had booked and what the expenses were and OH MY GOD i sooo went over the budget i had in mind! and i STILL hvnt included invitations or limos! I know i will be able to do it as long as i dont go splurging on anything else and i continue to stick to the current budget i put on myself in terms of my personal spending, but its SCARY just to look at the total figure!
its so hard to look at something and NOT want it! I think im going to have a BRIDAL MELTDOWN!

it will all be ok

like you said limit personal spending a bit and maybe you can stay w/i budget or have a bit extra to get some more of those things you really want

when I think of all the money we're spending it makes me cringe, the best thing to do is tell yourself you have another year or so to pay it, it makes it sound better!!!

FH just keeps saving money, he doesnt even want to know what we're spending, he says ignorance is bliss LOL I think he's nuts, but we're reaching our goal so well be ok

I know what you mean. I had a very unrealistic budget when I first got engaged. Now when I see I cannot believe how much It has changed. I track everything now on a excel spreadsheet I cannot go over anymore.
