Does More Money Buy You Happiness?
No one can really understands how much a wedding can cost until they are getting married themselves. Sure, you can have some idea of the end cost, but in the grand scheme of things, the total amount spent is shocking. On top of that, a wedding price tag is even more jaw dropping on a tropical island. To save money, I know many couples who have had small intimate weddings with about 10 guests. Some of these couples viewed weddings as a nuisance and others just wanted a simple day to express their love towards one another.
With all the chaos involved in wedding planning, sometimes I wonder if I would actually be happier with a smaller less expensive wedding. After running every scenario in my head, I think if I had a less expensive wedding, I would regret my choices.
Your wedding should be whatever you want it to be. If spending less money makes you happy, go ahead and do it. There are plenty of married couples who have shared their wedding planning advice with us. Most of them shared that they regretted spending so much money for their wedding. BUT, all of them had the time of their lives! Yes, there are certain things I could have done to cut corners but in the big picture, would I be less happy? Weddings are about happiness. For the most part, this is one of most important days of a person's life. Whether an immediately family member or the bride, a wedding is a special momentous day for everyone.
My wedding is a celebration of my devotion and love to that one special person. That person is my world. They are the other part to my half.
More or less money cannot buy you happiness. Happiness is only found within yourself. My wedding makes me happy.
