Figuring out how to handle the money thing is one of the biggest decisions Chris and I will have to make before we attach the ball and chain. Not surprisingly, most of the couples we’ve met up with have combined all of their duckets, preferring to work on a budget and all that shizat as a team. And while I don’t disdain this approach, I must say it’s not where we’re [...] We’ve suffered. Oh, how we’ve suffered on the Wedding Road Trip.
