Costs Couples Forget

It is no secret, weddings are EXPENSIVE. Most couples try to save money where they can and all couples have some sort of budget to maintain. There are tons of expenses that rack up during the wedding planning process that couples forget about when setting their budgets and not accounting for these expenses can lead to heartbreak when it comes time to write final checks for vendors.
