Do any of you regret spending a lot of money on your wedding?

Yes, in a way. Honestly, I try not to think about it. To have the wedding we wanted, we knew what it would cost and we actually came in under budget, but it's still a lot for one day when you really think about it.

Sometimes yes. I loved our wedding day but my savings account is still recovering. I wouldn't change the day for the world though.

Nope. It was worth every penny. I wouldn't have changed a thing. I felt like you did though before the wedding but now that it's all said and done, I wish I could do it over and over again because it was such a magical day.

I mean, we've only had to pay deposits so far and we'll be able to pay for it no problem but I do feel that sometimes it might just be better to call the deposits gone and just elope and save the thousands of dollars well spend otherwise. But I'm not going to do that because I know I'll regret not having my wedding with all of our friends and family.

Yes and no. It was expensive and it did seem silly to spend that much on one day. But We didn't go in debt. And having all our family and friends there celebrating us, drinking and eating with us... Dancing and partying with us...that was worth every damn penny.

Not one bit! Yes it's a lot of money but it's one day that I will remember for the rest of my life.

I'm not regretting how much money we're spending. I'm regretting not eloping and using that money to travel to places we've always wanted to visit.

I knew I would, so I didn't spend all my savings.

I regret spending so much on photography now that I want videography too. Hoping a miracle happens and I can add video.

We are fully prepared to spend the wad.. We've already kissed that money goodbye and aren't looking back!

Nope. I've wanted this since I was 6 and I've saved for it since I was 23 (nine years now), well before I ever met FH. My sister and sometimes mom are all Judgey McJudgerson about how it is wasteful and I remind myself not to care about what they think of how I spend my money. I'm so excited for everything.

I feel the same way! We are working really hard to pay for ours. I really want the big wedding but it would have been way easier to just Elope

I'm sure we will feel some financial regret after the wedding, but right now I'm just happy to be planning a wedding I know I'll smile at when I look back years from now. We aren't getting into debt for one day, so I feel good about the choice we're making. My mom eloped for just under $200 total, and she constantly reminded me how much she regretted it.

Oh it crosses my mind, that we could buy this or so that with what we're going to be spending, but ultimately I keep returning to this: it's just money. Money doesn't last forever, but the memories made at our wedding and the photos we will have will be treasured for years and years to come. So in a way, it's an investment for us, even if the value of it is nil compared to the value it will have for us.

Not really,I knew that we are paying for all wedding and we saved money. I wasn't ready to get married untill we saved,so I am actually proud of both of us!

Sometimes i think i might but i dont want to mix that thought with the beautiful memories we'll have of the wedding day!

I go back and forth. I wish I had either spent more on making sure things went more smoothly, or spent WAY less and simplified things. I feel like I had big plans on a small budget and things just didn't turn out the way I had imagined. Some of it was out of my control, but I could have prepared better for the worst by spending another 1k on an extra DOC (besides the one provided by the venue).

I'm basically doing fear-based wedding planning lol. I don't want to look back in 20 years and wish I had a wedding instead of eloping, or not have those gorgeous pictures to show our pretend future kids. Don't think about it as a waste or second guess yourself - it's not wrong to want a wedding!

Not really no, I waited a long time to find DH and we both felt that given that we wanted a big wedding.
