    I worry way more about the money and that may be because I'm just more involved in the wedding planning. But yes I track our wedding spending on two apps and he's like "let's just round, it doesn't need to be to the penny"

    He's always on top about his money.

    Probably him, but we are both pretty aware of what we can afford and the things we can go without if we need too.

    I am.. but only because he is clueless of what the budget is or most things wedding related. He is good with money, he just hasn't done much planning that involves spending money yet.

    Both to a certain point. I do more with spending & keeping track with where the money goes.

    He would be if he had any idea what I was spending but he is clueless when it comes to our finances. As long as the bills get paid he doesn’t care.

    Me. I am constantly trying to find a better deal and that's why we haven't booked some of our vendors yet, i.e. florist and caterers. as far as decor I may trying to do as much diy as I can! So we can have more money to play with for extras.

    It's a tie for us. We have kids and want to buy a house so we don't really want to budge on our budget.

    Definitely me. I control all money going in or out. I pay all the bills. Hes the primary account holder but I pay more attention. When we have extra money we agree on what to buy or savings. I'm usually the one to say hey we have a couple extra hundred how about a concert or something. He actually pays zero attention to the bank account lol. We get along with money extremely well.

    That's probably what would happen if I was in charge of our money! Do you have a budgeting system that you like to use?
