I have to say we are fans of Suze Orman and try to follow a bit of what she says. We try to have an emergency fund, saved as much as we could for a down-payment for our house and try not to use our credit cards if we can't afford something. That said, having a large traditional wedding was important to us. Not only because it's who we are as a couple, but because most of our guests had never been to a same-sex wedding before and we wanted everyone to feel as comfortable and homey as possible. Treating our wedding in this way made a huge, positive impact on our guests, the vendors we used and everyone we show pictures to, and we had a blast ourselves because it's what we wanted. So, we spent some money on our wedding, but it was within what we could afford still and we continued to rent and save money for a house after the wedding. It's very situational and you kind of have to go with your gut. That’s a tough question. I have to say we are fans of Suze Orman and try to follow a bit of what she says.

I would feel so much more comfortable compared to a tuxedo (I hate them). It is a shame that society doesn't accept people for who they are and just let people live thier lives. So it really matter if we have different beliefs in living, just as long as you don't hurt others in return. It maybe a better place to live.

I bet there are gay men who do express themselves at their weddings by wearing dresses. It may not be as common. Perhaps because society's got over women wearing pants and suits a while ago, but men wearing dresses is still a new frontier. Hopefully as equal marriage becomes more prevalent and accepted, people will be free to express themselves in any way they choose. That’s a great question.

Perfetta!
