This is the most untraditional as we could get with it. We're not getting bridesmaids/groomsmen. The "ceremony" is only a five minute thing (that we're paying 500 for). I tried to push to Michelle to get something that can be reused in future wardrobes and she's been uncertain about this. I'm still going to need to think about putting 2k aside for other expenses because I have no idea how much it'll be to get some of the other things for this ceremony accounted for.

I've spent the last 48 hours expressing how unhappy this has been while punching through a timeline on how to pay this off while paying off Michelle's debts. I will get over it in time, but this one is going to be a sensitive point on me for awhile and I'm just going to be open that I've been scrubbing toilets on my off hours just to pay off our debts and how we're at a point in our life where a spontaneous charge like getting a car and its other additional things will cripple our finances (I was scheduled to be finished with my debt by January otherwise).
