Remember the day he was on bended knee and he had a little box in his hands. He expressed to you how important you are to him and then you heard the words, “Will you marry me?" There you were – excited and tears of joy streaming down your face as you said YES! You know that you loved him and want to spend the rest of your life with him.
Shortly after your engagement, you began looking through bridal magazines, talking with your girlfriends and even having visions of how you want your wedding day to look. True enough this is the beginning of a new chapter in your life and planning the wedding is a part of it.
Caterers, florists, invitations, the wedding cake and your wedding dress are some of the thoughts that consume your mind day-to-day. On the weekends, you decide which bridal shows you will go to. Before everything gets going to heavy, you and your fiancé have a discussion about the wedding and costs. You are focusing on a wedding budget and want to make sure you both are in agreement as to what you need to comply with before the shopping begins for this day that you have dreamed about for a long time.
You are thinking about one day but what about the marriage? You are talking about the budget for one day. You love your fiancé but, would he marry you if he knew you had a huge student loan or if you had debt? Do you love him enough to open up your checkbook or give him your credit report before you walk down the aisle? Financial secrets once revealed can negatively impact a marriage.
