🎯 Why it matters:
Because the choices you make now (wedding budget, lifestyle decisions, saving for a home) can ripple through your first years together. Spending $X on a glamorous wedding may wow on the day, but if it drains your savings and delays home ownership, it may cost you more in the long run. On the flip side, underestimating the wedding or skipping it entirely might leave you feeling you missed out. This video helps you find balance — so you celebrate meaningfully and plan wisely.

💡 Key takeaway:
It’s not an “either/or” between a dream wedding and buying a home — it’s about aligning your values, setting shared goals, and making choices that serve your life together beyond just one day. When you as a couple talk openly about what you value (celebration, house, travel, security), you can craft a financial plan that supports both the wedding and the home.
