    Me! We're both very frugal with our money but I'm always looking for discounts and staying under budget

    He says he wants to not think about budget for the honeymoon but I gave him limitations and I will be sure to check him and keep him in line.

    Both? Maybe a little bit more him than me. I’ve been doing the bulk of our wedding planning so it’s more like I find a bunch of options and then he comes in and reminds me of the budget

    We're both pretty bad at sticking to budgets, but we do work together and contribute equally to the bills.

    That is me for sure. He already told me that I am in charge of the finances because I budget and worry about money a lot more, where he likes to spend it.

    Definitely more strict! Though he has said if there's ever a time to spend more money it's our wedding day, so its not like hes being unreasonable 😉

    Uhm what budget 💁🏻‍♀️ Just kidding. We actually havent set a budget but we kinda know what we want to spend but if we go over its not the end of the world. I am the one making the spreadsheets to know what will come out of our pockets that night. But we’re both great with saving which is good

    We go back and forth. I was at first, but he realizes more than ever how important it is to stay on budget, so he has gotten somewhat strict about budgeting

    We are both pretty conscious about money but when it comes down to it he would do anything to keep me happy so he wouldn't let money get in the way.
