It's such an ugly word

Their right. It is an ugly word. A word that has been used to describe me before. So how is this "ugly word" working out with wedding planning? Ehh :/

I feel that for the most part, I just don't spend money on things that aren't absolutely important to me. I also feel that when something is really important to me I can shell out the dough.

So here is the toughie, when to say no and when to say yes to wedding costs? I want everything to look nice, but at the same time I would rather not break the bank.

Looking back, what I should have done is listed my top 3 most important wedding details, and I should have had Mr. Camrah make his own list. I could have compared the two to see where we should spend and where we could save. I know roughly what he expects, but I've also been surprised with some of the details he wants for our wedding. He is pretty traditional and often suggests stuff that I don't consider absolutely necessary. I've been the primary planer for our wedding, and I don't always know what he wants for the wedding. I end up making the plans for our budget, and he doesn't always agree. We then have to make compromises about spending money, and I'm never sure if either one of us is 100% on board with these compromises.

Mr. Camrah has told me that he worries that I'm making decision just to save money, and He feels that we should go all out for our wedding. He would have no problem taking out a loan for wedding costs. I on the other had would rather expose myself to H1N1 then take out a wedding loan.

How did you decide when to spend money and when to save? Did you have to compromise on anything because of wedding costs?
