Woot! UPDATE and More Questions

[tortoise]

BIG congrats on paying off your debts! Yes, spend a little on yourself, you deserve it. However, do you really need to spend money on a "pretty" wedding? What does pretty mean anyway? Not trying to be a downer here, but it seems like you've worked awfully hard to get out of debt, plus save some money... a "pretty" wedding seems like going backwards to me.

Edited to add: This opinion is from an almost-50-year-old who realizes now that the words spoken at your wording between your and your husband are worth more than any frills you have at the wedding.

haha! Pretty wedding wouldn't be over $2K, got the location, tent, rentals, dress, food, decor (not much), photographer, honeymoon night... with a trip to Canada later. I'm cheap and fussy. I'm splurging on dress ($200), bouquet, and photographer (1 hour).

Got my last smile today. My student loan payment was posted today and I got to see "paid in full" under loan status. God that feels good!

And I have a feeling you'll be smiling about this for a LONG time!!!
