Wedding planning has really caused tension between us. Our parents were gracious enough to give us funds to take care of the entire reception, with some $$ left over for other vendors. My fiance and I will cover the rest.
He is *great* with finances and we have funds set aside for the wedding already. Yet, he makes me feel guilty for wanting to do so. He thinks weddings are expensive and it's unnecessary to spend it in one day when it could be saved and used for a future family. We already own a home, there aren't many material items that we need. I totally see where he is coming from - but I still want a special day. We aren't having a lavish wedding by ANY means but he is so focused on spreadsheets and numbers. I feel incredibly stressed/guilty for even wanting my ideal venue.
How can we get past this? Is the entire wedding planning process going to be this way?
