I want to get married but me and my boyfriend doesnt have enough budget yet for wedding. I was thinking of borrowing money from the bank but i dont think that it's good for a newly wed to start their marrige with debt.

My Fiance and I are also short on funds and wish to get married soon. No, it isn't really a good idea to start out on those terms as it could just could be added stress, and that is unneeded. I do like the idea of a pot luck wedding, even though that does not seem as romantic. However, I would also suggest setting aside money for the wedding each week as well as finding things that you can sell. Going to Yard Sales or looking at Dollar Stores are also a great way to find things that you can sell in various places.

I think you can ask your girl to marry a house, not you. Why not to bug a new house with the money you earn together? I very dislike the girl who is full of money desire.

yeah, if the girl is just after your money, i dont think your relationship will grow. If she really loves you she will accept you even if you are not rich and accept the thing you can only afford.

its right that you are thinking about not having to pay anything after the wedding ceremony. hasnt your BF sdaved a bit of money in the past years you were togethe, etc? anyway.. i think if you got married out of church is much cheaper. yo do not need to invite too many people to attend the wedding. just a few people close to you and your family can be a good one too. with this, you dont have to spend more than you can afford.

You can always have a long engagement and save up for a nice wedding. That's what I did.

You are correct, you can't start your marriage life with debt instead you can help your partner to get enough fund for your marriage and this will be the first step to your marriage. The most strong thing in a relationship is help and you can help your partner to help you.

yeah, you're right... starting a married life with a debt might pull you down...
