The B Word

I've grown to hate this word. 

Unless I win the lottery, I will just have to deal with it.

Budget. Ours is very limited. My family is helping out a bit (which I totally appreciate) but we are mostly doing this on our own.

That being said, we are trying to be realistic with things. It's harder than we thought. We are both shopaholics when it comes to anything. I bet I could spend a million dollars within a minute. However, in the end, it all comes down to one thing...being married. I have to keep that in mind every time we get frustrated when we realize we like something we can't afford.

As I was playing with our budget today, I was trying to guesstimate and total things we've found. Welp, we're already over like 2k.

Caleb came up with a 10k budget. At first, I was like "no way jose." Then I found must needed inspirations from this lovely girl. I don't know what her total ended up being (congrats btw) but I bet it was pretty close.

I was watching a wedding show and they said whatever your initial budget is, ADD 10% so you aren't in shock when you go over.

The moral of this blog is: I'm going to try and save up as much as possible (and still be able to eat everyday). 

But, in the end, we will be married and that's going to be better than flowers, a DJ, cake, decorations, etc.
