    Shhhhhhhh but we decided since we are already going to be in Vegas this weekend for a little trip the FI and I decided to just go head and get hitched. The edding was taking on a life of its own and the cost started growing and growing. Well yesterday we finally reach our goal and had all the money for the wedding saved. I looked at that 10k and thought of it only going to a party and kind of freaked. So tonight we decided its just more practical to do this. I am flying my bff and dad out this weekend his parents and bro are meeting us and we will be good to go! I am really excited but really sad about letting my wedding go and having to sell my dress that I just got in a week ago but o well. My BM and I are going to Wichita tomorrow and get a dress for me and a dress and shoes for her

    Congratulations!  You must be sooo excited, even if you are a bit sad about the big wedding. I'm with you on the not spending that kind of money, although I'm aware that others feel differently.  The way I figure it, if it doesn't feel 100% right to spend that kind of cash on your party, then there are multiple other practical ways to use the money!

     

    Have a blast!

    We just changed our wedding (had to move it back instead of closer) because it seemed to be taking on a life of its own too! And I agree that it seems sad to give up all the planning but I realize it'll be worth it.  And congratulations, I think it'll be great!

    That is so awesome!  I can imagine how it can become so overwhelming!  I hope that if my time to plan a wedding ever comes I will make a similar choice!  Congrats!!

    I think you're making a very wise decision - but I'm practical like that! I would wear the dress anyway at least for the ceremony, then change to go for dinner/partying/whatever you're doing after. It's so beautiful, why not wear it?

    Congrats and have fun!
