How Much Do Weddings Really cost?

Often times I get asked, how much do you think a wedding costs? I usually answer with a smile, it all depends on your budget.

Personally, I like the small, intimate yet elaborate type weddings. I'd love a glamorous wedding, but I'll refuse to break my bank and more just so I can have a wedding.

Once you've finished basking in the glow of engagement, you'll find it very hard to get anything accomplished without a detailed wedding budget. This will give you an outline of what you should spend on each item, so as to ensure you don't spend more than you intend to overall. Here's how to create a wedding budget that you can afford.
