Things real change from when i got married about 8 years ago.
2 years before i got married i save to buy a camcorder for $550US then next year I waited for one of the the first digital camera $350US (3.2 megapixel with a 2.2" screen)to make it to the consumer market. This was my video and photo for my wedding. Ah even used meh saving and buy a lot of land with it . 70k for the land.
Got a car borrowed, $500 in chairs, went with pardner to cut bamboo for tent. Borrowed galvanize(nu wave which was the ting then). Free dj, free decorations. Most of food was donated by family. Engagement ring was 1200 and wedding ring was 3.5k
Meh mother in law even went india and buy ah 12k dress for meh wife to wear for 3 hours. and she never wear it again. 8 years now it still lock up in the wardrobe my my inlaws. Luckily i rent my outfit for $400.. Ah still laughing up to today.....
Did all this knowing that in 2 weeks time I will be with meh wife in a 12'x12' bedroom living for the next 2 years in meh mother house. Wife had surgery 2 weeks before the wedding so we ended up booking a hotel in Trinidad for 2k.
The following month with the money i saved, i organised meh house plan and in 2 years I was in meh new home!!! The camera even make it to taking pictures of the house while building.
The best buy during that wedding planning and use of the wedding money was that land for 70k and now it worth more that 450k. If i didnt buy that land i woulda be renting all now...
I cya see meh self spending 5k and 10k for pictures...that is maddness...!!!!

You can save towards land/house AND wedding. It's all about proper planning. Unfortunately many do not have the acumen to budget and save towards a goal or plan. Why should one be compromised for the other?


OP, I hope you're not the only one footing the bill. Your fiancée and her family should also chip in. You can save money by limiting the guest list and having family members prepare the food. Have you also considered having an outside venue? They tend to be cheaper (backyards, gardens, beaches, parks).

I won't go cheap on the photographer though. Professional high-end photographers are definitely worth the price.

Good luck to you and yours!

[crazybalhead]

Agreed with AP. There are lot's of ways to save money on a wedding.

Red House FTW

yuh see even he agree and he have money. If all else fails ask him for a borrow.
and Mr. Duane sir I'm still on Oxford Street 2eh

Interestingly enough, Duane didn't take his own advice. He had a proper wedding, with photographer and all.

Men does forget that the wedding day is really all about the woman. She wants to feel like Cinderella on that day. Let her be. After that and the honeymoon, its no walk in the park being a full-time wife and mother/mommy-to-be.

Selfish and small minded. When you have a child, you will be happy if they tell you, "Aye daddy, fack you eh, I going in the red house to get marrid and go on a bessss honeymoon. me en care if you raise me and would have liked to be there!!!"

as opposed to "daddy, i know we not well off, but i want to spend 100-200k on 1 day. of course planning for this day will have lots of stress/tension between all parties involved. also you have to pay for it because that's the social norm, and also try to clear out downstairs, cuz that's where i goin to have to live after the wedding"

[AbstractPoetic]

are you?

So you didn't get the memo? With the amount of macomere boys/men on this forum minding other people's business, I thought you already knew.

Far from it. Being a husband and father also comes with its challenges. I was not trying to devalue that fact.

But, of course, you would have to be a father and husband to fully understand what such challenges (and responsibilities) entail. Let me know when you've reached that stage in your life.

Has it ever occured to you that some individuals already have a home of their own before getting hitched? Or that a couple can save for the wedding a few years in advance knowing fully well the expense of it all?

Some of us can actually afford both large wedding and house or two or three. And it doesn't take a rich or wealthy man to have both. Just a smart man, and, of course, behind every smart man is a smart woman.

[nismotrinidappa]

steups.. just marry a rich woman.. talk done.. no need to worry about the cost of anything!
