Here are 5 things I wouldn’t do if I was getting married after being in wealth management for 15 years:
Don’t go into a marriage without having conversations with your spouse around money!
- Will you have joint bank accounts, etc.
- Do you have any debt?
I wouldn’t blow all my money (or my parent’s money) on a wedding
- Try to spend as little as possible, and see if your parents will give you the rest as a down payment.
Don’t only focus on the reception – the ceremony is the most important!
- The investment in the relationship is the most important, and the ceremonies are the most memorable part of a wedding.
Don’t spend all your money on an expensive band.
- Get up-and-coming musicians that will work the hardest. You’ll get the best deal.
Don’t spend one minute stressing on your wedding day!
- Everybody that you love is there to watch you – remember how special this is!
