Hello all! My boyfriend and I are planning our engagement, and I could use some input as I don’t have any close relatives who could offer advice.
The reason we are not yet engaged is because we are trying to figure out how to best finance the engagement ring. Once we are engaged, we are also hoping to explore how to keep our wedding simple and affordable, yet meaningful. It is challenging to navigate this, having few people around to ask for help (except of course those trying to sell you something 😉).
Our budget is very small: my boyfriend recently had to look for another job and is still seeking, I myself earn minimum wage and am just starting to build my savings. So I truthfully don’t even know how to set our budget for something like a wedding. I have no idea how much such a thing could realistically cost. Bells and whistles are unnecessary— we just want to get married in a meaningful, God-honouring way!
Please provide any advice you can on the topic of:• setting a budget with a low income• financing rings • meaningful Christian wedding traditions • sinplifying wedding planning
Thank you in advance!
