I’ve also included my experience as a participant and collaborator in a handful of friends’ and family members’ weddings in the years since my own. I’ve come up with 10 decisions we made that definitely saved us some money throughout the process. Now that some time has passed, my practical side is ready to assess the financial lessons of our wedding day. I don’t get emotional often, but I certainly did that day. The ceremony went off without a hitch, and aside from a brief, violent thunderstorm at the very beginning, the outdoor reception was an absolute blast. We were blessed to have a huge crowd of our friends and family, many of whom traveled from the coasts and the Deep South, to celebrate with us. Our reception was a few miles down the road in a beautiful river valley with a hundred-year-old barn. In May 2014, after what seemed like an eternity of planning and worry, my wife and I got married in a small-town Iowa church, just steps from her old high school.
