When my fiancée blew our entire wedding budget on a dress, I was furious. Her cavalier attitude pushed me over the edge. So I devised an epic lesson she’d never forget. Some say I went too far, but I think she deserved this wake-up call. Was I justified?
Hey, everyone. Mark here, 32, and newly married. You know how your wedding day’s supposed to be the happiest day ever? Well, mine turned into a financial nightmare I’ll never forget, thanks to my wife Elly’s $10K shopping spree. Buckle up. You’re about to hear how our entire budget became a single dress, and how I turned our honeymoon into a lesson Elly won’t forge
Let me give you some backstory. We had a small, rough budget for our wedding. Nothing fancy, just a modest event with about 30 guests, hosted on a family friend’s property.
We were even making the decorations ourselves and ordering our wedding cake from Costco. The trade-off? A very expensive honeymoon.
I trusted Elly to buy her wedding dress. She promised it wouldn’t be expensive. But then, I found out she spent $10K on a dress. That was almost our entire budget. I was LIVID.
