If you’re extroverted, a wedding is worth it. It’s a time where all your extended family can gather and meet the other extended family, and possibly one of the biggest parties of your life. I had a blast. Our wedding planner kept asking if we were ready to go, but we stayed until the DJ left!

Also the honeymoon was a great way to start out our journey. We love traveling, and it was great to just have a week to relax after the stress of planning a wedding.

The one caveat I recognize is that we got lucky and didn’t have to pay from our own pockets for most of this. We also didn’t want to buy a house early on since we were going to move in a few years.
