I'm Maggie, a postgraduate student in Columbus, Ohio, and I'm engaged to Joey, who works in IT. We have only been together for a year, I met him very early on during my first year of PG study, but it was very clear early on that we had each found 'the one'. Although based in Ohio, we are getting married in my home state of New York, on December 28, 2019 (which is three days after my 25th birthday). I'm in the early days of planning, and it isn't the easiest thing to do when you're in a different state, and you're dealing with studies and work too. I'm hoping WW will be a place for great support with that!

Happily married 🎉

True or False: I’m over budget
Maggie, on February 5, 2019 at 11:05 AM

Despite your best budget intentions, it’s really easy to spend more than you originally planned! In fact, couples tend to underestimate how much they’ll spend on their wedding by 40%. Are you standing...
