Happy Friday DINKS!
They say that those who can’t do, teach; and I guess that those who can’t wed, blog.
I am not married to my boyfriend Nick and it is definitely not in our (or should I say his) plans. After surfing the web this week I found a lot of posts about weddings. It appears that generally people do two things in the spring time, they buy houses and they get married.
Today we are dedicating this post to all of our personal finance blogger friends who are planning their upcoming nuptials. I think that I want to get married, but I am not sure. I like the idea of a wedding, and I think that I like the idea of marriage. However, that may just be 10 years of living with my boyfriend Nick rubbing off on me.
If you are planning your wedding on behalf of DINKS I would like to say congratulations. After graduation, our wedding day may be the biggest day of our lives. My university graduation was a milestone in my life along with the day that I passed the final financial planning exam and became a Certified Financial Planner. I look forward to my possible wedding day but I am not holding my breath.
Here are some posts that I found around the web on Weddings:
- Money Crashers gives us some tips about capturing our special wedding moments in their post 20 Ways to Get Cheap Professional Wedding Photographers and Videographers on a Budget.
- Blonde & Balanced is less than a week away from her wedding (Congrats Girl!). She shares 15 Things Being Engaged Has Taught (Her) About Life, Love and Money. This post is only part 1, so be sure to keep reading Blonde & Balanced for part 2.
- Financial Samurai says that we should choose a mate with similar financial goals, values, and interests in the post Why Do Women Go Out With Deadbeat Losers?
- Yes I am Cheap rants about all of her coworkers getting married along with her lack of desire to marry her long time boyfriend in the post The Last of the Unmarried Mohicans. She is frustrated will all of the questions and implications by other people about why she is not yet married to her long time boyfriend. All I have to say to Yes I am Cheap is that I hear you. To everyone else who has been asking her about their wedding intentions all I have to say to you is… it’s really none of your business!

Kristina, thank Jebus someone else feels my pain. I can’t deal with everyone constantly asking. It’s rude. IF I decide to get married I’ll do it when I’m good and ready. If not, believe me the world will not end. Tighwad from Tightwad blog wrote an eBook about having a thifty wedding in case your readers are planning their own weddings as well.
