    I am the budgeter. If I didn't make sure to give him periodic rundowns of plans, decisions, and budget, then he would be clueless lol

    Both of us are in charge. He’s more level headed with the money but budgets and finances don’t work for us unless we do it together

    I am in charge of the wedding budget but I discuss a lot of it with my fiance.

    Me, he doesn't care about much of anything to do with the wedding as long as i'm his wife at the end of it all.

    So he has little to do with the planning, making me in charge of it. But, my mom actually offered to pay for the wedding so I am wanting to make sure everything is reasonable.

    He says it's equal, but since he earns more money, I am going to try and keep it budget friendly, though he'd let me have whatever I want

    I'm in charge. He is in charge for most other financial things, but when it comes to the wedding he is either clueless or doesn't have strong opinions about any decisions that need made.

    Me most likely, though we didnt set ourselves an exact budget and more or less just stayed reasonable.

    I'm in charge of the budget as my parents are paying for the wedding. He does help keep me grounded when I think about unnecessary splurging but I've been doing pretty well!

    Me, because if it were up to him we’d have a back yard wedding 🤦🏻‍♀️ And our back yard wouldn’t even fit the wedding party 😂

    We didn't really have a budget, we just want to save as much as possible without going broke.

    We are constantly checking in. He's stricter with it, but it's a good thing because we don't want to spend money we don't have.

    We do not have a budget as of yet, but I am cost-friendly and he's not. So I would like to think that I'm the one who is in charge of the budget.

    I would say equal. I am doing all the planning and he is monitoring the money I spend.

    Honestly, I haven’t really got that far in the planning process. We had a venue picked out but that may be changing since we’re moving.
