To clutch or not to clutch

Be like Solomon. Cut budget in half and see what she says.

$2400 for the clutch will wait.

Good luck.

Im getting married in Sept and my wedding is about 10k. Man I thought I was doing good lol.

Damn at the price, do both! Wedding costs were the bane of my existence throughout our engagement. I pretty much could've bought a new fully loaded Z instead of our wedding...matter of fact....I think I used that line! (It went well...like expected)

i think planning for the wedding is like the final exam for the couple.

oh yah, take it from me... make sure you like your future in-laws BEFORE you get married. lol dogdamn did i fail.

lol @ this thread

Man, I wish we could have gotten away with a $2400 wedding. That wouldn't have even covered a half an hour of our bar costs (200 people, 3 hours of open bar, top shelf). Took us three years to pay off the credit cards and parents for our wedding. Once that was done we bought my wife a new car - the Z

Joe@Zspeed has hooked me up with a great deal on a full clutch replacement and I have thrown in a bunch of upgrades as well that I want to do at the same time.

Wedding cost - 2200
Clutch/upgrades - 2400

Oh what ever shall I do....

Been married 30 years, divorced, and now with MY fiancée for over 6 years. I think I can speak from experience! Easy answer....when the wife/fiancée/girlfriend etc, etc, etc ain't happy, you won't be happy. Wedding first! The car can wait!

HAHA. Both my fiance and I were married for 10 years before we met each other. We are doing a super simple wedding with only a few close friends this time. Nothing major.
