My boyfriend and I are thinking about setting our wedding date in 2009. We want to wait a while and save up some money. We both have large families and therefore our wedding will be quite costly. We are budgeting around $20,000-$25.000.
My bf parent's have offered to help pay for part of the wedding costs, as they did with his brother. I'm assuming they expect my parent's to also contribute equally, as well as my FI and I. We have figured in will be about $8,500 dollars each.
However, my parent don't really have any money. They will only be able to contribute about $2500. I'm fine with this. However, my parents do not want my in-laws thinking they are skimping on the costs. They do not want talk about their money issues w/ my in-laws, which is understandable. I told my mom not to worry and I would make up the $6,000 on my own; as well as my Fi and I $8500. What is the best way to save up for $15,000 over the next 2 years?
