Wedding Blog

I wanted to start by saying that I don’t want anyone to think that I’m being judgmental or snarky in any way, but I am honestly curious to know why many brides (and grooms) have chosen to get married when they’re not in a position to pay for the wedding or honeymoon or are worried that their budget won’t live up to the wedding that they have envisioned?

I am engaged as well and have been reading these boards as well as other sites and have seen many posts about couples who are getting married but are having family members pay for the wedding, or have a very small budget and are discouraged.

So my question is, do many of you feel that you simply must get married right away and cannot wait until you have some money saved up to pay for the wedding (or most of it) yourselves?  It seems like so many couples are relying on family to contribute, but feel slightly guilty about it.  I just thought I would ask…
