Weddings are usually one of the highlights of everyone life whether it’s yours or your child’s. As true as this is, its implication leaves people with debt that runs into years. Having an elaborate wedding is not a bad thing, but how prepared are you to ensure that you’ll have something more than pictures when you start to build your life together is. Not discussing certain issues on how the wedding will be funded can cause a lot of friction and some of these issues, if discussed properly, can help ease the pressure.
Who pays for what?
One major topic that comes to mind is who takes ownership of what and not clearly stating this from the beginning can cause friction during the planning stage and sometimes stretches into the marriage itself. Therefore, it is quite important that issues such as the size of the wedding, the budget and who pays for what are sorted out early on into the planning.
