it's a big, bridal world out there. start here.
Money is an area of marriage that can be used to
develop good communications.
It is a tool God has given you to learn a great deal about each other.
For instance, just talking about the kind of home that you want to live in
helps you to learn a lot about each other.

Everyone has heard of: Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. And it is usually the something blue that stumps our brides! But we would like to discuss the something borrowed part today for MONEY MONDAY.

The wedding shower is finally finalized and Mommy is buying invitations. Since we are in a bit of a time crunch (the majority of guests are from out of town), Mommy decided to find them online instead of make them herself.

Thanks to our friend Officiant Larry James at Celebrate Intimate Weddings for his article Beware of “Cheap” Wedding Vendors! We could not agree more!
It’s difficult for a wedding vendor to imitate a true wedding professional. But there are those who try and often deceive their clients into going the cheap route. If it sounds to good to be true… it probably is. If it sounds like a duck, well… (you know the rest). One bad vendor can ruin a celebration and there is no time for buyer’s remorse on your wedding day.

When you receive your final invoice from your wedding, you see a line item: Cake Cutting. Are you surprised? Why? Was it not explained to you? How could it have been avoided?

For MONEY MONDAY, we usually discuss how to save (or best spend!) your pennies on your wedding. Today, we are going to reverse the conversation and ask you about the best thing you spent money on for your wedding.

Thank you to Amber DiNenna at the Chicago Tribune for her article: Materialism Can Take Toll on Marriage.
When both spouses focus solely on the “for richer” part of their marriage vows, there could be trouble, according to a recent study by Brigham Young University and William Paterson University. The study used self-surveys of 1,700 married couples to gauge materialism, asking how much they agreed with statements such as “I like to own things to impress people” or “Money can buy happiness.”
