I Can’t Afford To Get Married
I think people confuse getting married with having a wedding.
Sad women cry, “We love each other so much but we can’t afford to get married! We want to though. ”
Think again sister because what you can’t afford is a wedding, but I am quite sure that you could afford to get married.
Now I am not one of those people that says “if you really wanted to get married you’d haul your butt to J.O.P.”, but my response is similar. However, I understand that because of how we are conditioned, some of the “pretty stuff” does matter…a dress you like, photos to cherish, having people you are close sharing in the occasion… but you can have all of that without breaking that bank if you changed your point of view to thinking about how to build a marriage instead of how to have a lavish wedding.
I’ll end this post before I start ranting on the clever marketing ploys that are used to ….*stops*… but before I go, here’s some great suggestions on how to have a small wedding a.k.a. elopements.
I see you point maybe for the majority of people, but i want to get married - we knew we couldnt afford much so we decided to go together just us, no dress, no flowers, nothing, its going to cost us just over £400 (thats not including any rings!) - Which i cant afford, I can’t afford to get married!Marriage is just for the rich (or richer than us!)Sad but true x
