    I would say decorations/flowers and clothing for the wedding, he knows I like a bargain, so I won't spend to much on my dress but I'm sure he doesn't want to spend much on his attire either.

    Hmmm... Having a reception at all lol. He would much rather have put the money to a honeymoon. Neither of us are people person.

    We actually talked about everything before we got it and price checked. Maybe the DJ but he agrees he is worth the price.

    Everything 🙈 honestly he would probably spend less on the limos. I wanted to vintage car when in reality we dont NEED it.

    He would have been happy with a backyard wedding if it came down to it, but he likes the idea of having something nicer...he grew up having next to nothing at his disposal, so being able to splurge a little on our wedding day, he's had no complaints so far. If we can afford it, he's happy with it. Smiley heart

    He would probably say the flowers. Why do we need them is what he would ask

    I was the one that wanted to not have a dj or photographer and save money that way. he vetoed that idea, so i don't think there is anything that he would spend less money on than me.

    We made the budget together and talk about costs of everything. So he’s good with everything really.

    He actually is ok with the budget so far. I keep saying I don’t want to spend so much on certain things, but he wants to make sure I have a nice ring and a nice dress (that he can’t see until the day of, he says, but of course 😉).

    He would pull back on the decor. He doesn't understand why decor has to be so complicated and involve so much.

    Honestly he's been all for the amount we've spent on just about everything. Even my dress, I told him I got a bargain when I bought it and he came back with "I don't care how much you spend, I just want you to feel beautiful in it" (cue the waterworks Smiley heart )

    I really don't know. But he's complaining now about all the money we're about to spend when I would have preferred to go out of town. So right now, I really don't care how he feels about it because this was his idea so whatever we need to get, we just get it!

    Oh god, EVERYTHING 🙄 She's really frugal, which is great 90% of the time--she keeps my wild spending in check. However, our wedding falls in to that 10% of the time where it's okay to spend a little more to get what we really want IMO.
