A question for those who got married in the past few years

[Necuno]

I am already in debt

Worst thing you can do is to start a marriage on debt.

How much money did you spend on:

• rings?
• the wedding?
• honeymoon?

2009

08k
70k
15k

Ring (her's) - 300
Ring (mine) - 200
Wedding +/- 4000 (both families chipped in, rented the local municipal hall, catering done by family, so it was the food we loved)
Bring your own booze. Friend was the DJ.
Honeymoon - 6000 (four years down the line.
Married in 2003.

That's quite expensive for a lucky packet ring.

Ditto

Will you marry me?

Weddings aint cheap.
Last quote we got was R50000 for 50 people. My folks would give R30000, but hers none.
So I will have to fork out R20000 just for the reception.
And to be frank, I am not willing to spend that amount of cash on a wedding. I will have to drag myself out of debt later.

I ain't saying she's a gold digger...

We had our ups and and downs, but still remain in LOVE. So I guess lucky packet prices ain't got nothing to do with it.

Her ring: 5k (had an amazing stone from her gran so just needed to make a band)
My ring: R400 (no point in getting a fancy ring for a guy. It'll get lost / damaged)
Wedding: R0 (won a R300k package)
Honeymoon: R50k

We got married April 2013
