Needless to say money is tight because weddings are expensive and we want to have the wedding and honeymoon paid for so we dont have to put anything on credit. Both of our car notes equal what you were paying for the Z lol (I bought my Z used).

Kudos for making the hard decision. You know what they say, a happy wife is a happy life.

Wedding planning sucks, especially in NJ. Any half decent place is charging minimum $150 per person. If it wasn't for my wife and my family, I honestly wouldn't have one. Every fight we've had in our relationship is about our wedding.

Yep, weddings aren't cheap, even in my time 26+ years ago. But before we (or my wife, lol) started planning the wedding, we received good advice from the priest who married us.

He said "it's not about the dress, the banquet room, the cake or even if the flowers don't show up. It's about the commitment & union you two are making. Focus on this and you will have the best wedding ever". He was right!

Once again, Congrats on the wedding and best of luck to you & your fiancé

Been there done that. Once it's over life is grand; at least in my experience.

I actually did the opposite of you. Bought a house, got married, then traded my practical car for the Z. Figured I'd get my toy while it's just us.

Ouch. I dont know how much ours is per person or anything like that, but our wedding for everything total is going to be around $11k lol. Thats a really modest wedding nowadays but still freaking expensive in my book. Our honey moon is going to be around $3k and thats with our hotel room paid for :/ Needless to say mods for the Z have almost been non-existant since I have owned it lol. But after the wedding is a different story!
