Hi everyone! I'm early into the wedding planning process and I'm debating between 2 wedding options! I would love input from anyone about what the best way to go is!

Option 1: 12k
- prettier venue
- Sunday date
- 1 hour away
- 85 guest cap
- amazing alcohol
- okay food
- more restrictions

Option 2: 13.5-14k
- venue less pretty (reception in tent)
- Saturdays date
- local, 10 minutes away
- no guest cap, but want around 100 guests
- amazing food
- decent alcohol
- less restrictions

To me, option 1 will look better for a lower price, but I'm worried about some of the other logistics. Option 2 costs a bit more, but may be easier? I really just want to have a pretty, nice, and joyful wedding!

Any advice?

Hi everyone!

I recently got engaged and started wedding planning, and I'm completely shocked at how expensive they are.

Context on my situation: My fiancé works full time and I will be graduating nursing school with no debt next summer. My parents are giving us 15k for our wedding, honeymoon, or future, whatever we want to spend it on!

We have a few friends in the wedding industry and are able to do our whole wedding for around 14k. But even that feels so insanely expensive for one day of our lives. I can't stop thinking about how that money could help furnish our house, help us take a crazy honeymoon, or just go into savings.

I don't want to regret not having a wedding, but the price is seriously hard to get behind. Any advice?
