Engaged!

Congratulations Tripp!

I've been there twice. One was a big wedding, and one was a small wedding. I know you're not soliticiting advice, but I feel compelled...

If people prepared half as much for the marriage as they did for the wedding, the divorce rate would be half what it is now.
It's not about the party, it's about the vows.
What will you want to remember about that day 20 years from now? Think about that before the day.
Going into years of debt for an elaborate ceremony/party is stupid. You'll never be sitting around one day saying "Honey, I wish we had spent more money on the party we don't remember. What the hell were we thinking?"
