It's stretching us awful thin when it comes to wanting new clothes, new decor for the house, etc... but it needs done. If we're able to keep it up, we'll have almost $20k by the time the wedding rolls around. I hope thats enough for almost everything, including the honeymoon.

My wife and I paid for most of our wedding and kept it in the $20-25K range.
We thought we were stretching, until you open up your gifts the next day, and we found out the cash gifts paid for our wedding and we pretty much broke even.

it's an all inclusive in punta cana. the quality of the food was iffy (but i think that's common for all inclusives), but everything else was top notch.
