Just curious because I’m constantly wondering what unexpected expenses will come up. I also wonder what the appropriate or median cost for some things are.
Anyone forget to add something in their budget? Maybe I’m overlooking it too.
Is there anything that you purchased that you regret now?

I’m in the beginning stages of planning and am totally OCD about money. it’s ALL I think about. Fi and I are paying for the wedding and the reality of how far (or lack there of) the dollars can stretch is ridiculous.
From watching many friends go through the process, there are always places you CAN spend extra, unbudgeted money, but I think the key is to focus on the things that are really important and not get carried away with adding details that won’t matter.
My motto is: KISS (Keep-It-Simple-Stupid).. or ‘sweetheart’ is my replacement word for stupid 🙂
This post was really helpful to my mental health:
wedding costs – what was worth it and what wasn’t?
