Well ladies, my fh is also mr.cheap but I want to go out and buy this and that. Oh and our kids get a new toy every week, when my house is being runned by toys. So I know what it's like. I'm working and he's working and actually I went out and got a better job just to save for the wedding. But I found if I find something I like I will find it other places and write it down or show him, and be like Look I want these bubbles and they're this much here and this much here but look how cheap they are here. And he's been getting better. He's realizing that I will be looking for the best price around before I buy anything and this has helped tons. We're very lucky to have his siter help us, she's only giving us $1500 but that's a big help. And we're trying to do this under 10,000. Preferabl 5,000. But if you show him you're trying to find the best price he might not be as bad, at least that's how I got mine not to be so bad. Good luck!!
