I used to watch shows like
Bridezillas,
My Fair Wedding and
Say Yes to the Dress, thinking that I needed everything all those women had for their weddings. But as I grew closer to God, I realized that those things were not necessary and in fact could strain a marriage financially in the long run! Why would I want to get a horse-drawn carriage, when we could use that money on a house or a car payment? It does seem silly to me now, I guess I have matured!
Now I hardly watch those shows and when I do, I sometimes wonder if the brides really are in love. Do they really know what marriage means? That love means sacrifice? Most of the time, I figure they don't know what they are in for.
So the perfect marriage for me would be a white dress, my family, and most importantly the man God has for me. That's about it. I don't even need food, it we're that financially strained. I do want cake though!
Also, I found this and thought I would share.
Why spending less on your wedding could save your marriage
