Future husband and I are no spring chickens. At the time of our nuptials he will have crossed over to his 40s and I will be right behind him. We were putting together our 5 year plan the other day. Buying a house wasn’t something we thought we would do anytime soon. We both pretty much started life over in our 30s and are playing catch-up. As we started planning we realized that a house could really be a reality within 5 years... just not alongside a wedding with a 12k-15k budget.
He’s the logical one and I’m the dreamer. He is all for going to the justice of the peace and little honeymoon and getting back to our goals. I know I sound like a spoiled brat but I want a wedding... at least a reception... something to celebrate the big step we took... we agreed to “something” under 5k. That is insanely hard in NYC.
Should l just throw in the towel and elope and go on vacation... or should I bust my butt finding a way to make something happen even if on a small basic scale so that I can get my wish of a celebration without going against our 5k agreement?
as an added note. I was married before very young and eloped at city hall. That is why this means that much to me...
thoughts opinions suggestions recommendations... all is welcome.
