3 ways to avoid being broke after your wedding

Weddings are big celebrations of love and marriage but it doesn't have to be an expensive affair. As much as the bride needs to get what she wants, the marriage also needs to start on a good note.

Here are three sure ways to enter your marriage with money:

Get an affordable engagement and wedding ring.
Your girlfriend may want a huge, romantic surprise with an incredibly expensive ring but if you cannot afford it, get the next best thing. Get her one that is beautiful, affordable that is presentable.

During the marriage when you get richer, she can always exchange it for something flashier.

Create a small guest list
If you don't have hundreds of guests, you won't need to spend so much money feeding them. Make it an intimate wedding with just friends, family and those who will shower you with money during the couple's dance.

Later in your marriage, you both can go all out for your wedding vow renewal service.

Make a tight budget for the wedding and stick to it.
Different things will come up and tempt you during the wedding planning but refuse to give in. If you see an expensive thing you love, find a cheaper way to achieve the same results.

This way you and your wife will still have enough money to spend on your honeymoon and in your marriage.
