Message: [QUOTE="temery, post: 2069112, member: 1"] You have no chance whatsoever unless your fiancé comes to you and says she wants to save money, AND suggests areas to save. It's got to be her idea, or you're dead. I'm not sure what your living arrangements are, but here's one suggestion: Start house hunting NOW, and look for more than you can afford. She'll fall in love with one of expensive ones. If you're luck, she'll have the thought to cut back on the wedding, hoping to get into the dream home sooner. If not... Plan on getting a second job. 1/2 the money pays off the wedding, the other 1/2 is cash you squirrel away without her knowing. This money is all you get to keep in the divorce. Keep in mind a good number of the people replying spent a boatload on their wedding, and are now divorced. I, on the other hand, am single, and I'm able to think clearly, having watched all of this unfold, many, many times. Hey - How many divorced men does it take to change a lightbulb? It doesn't matter, they never get the house. [/QUOTE]
