Throughout this wedding planning process Mike and I have had some pretty fun disagreements. We see eye to eye on important matters like food but some of the decor elements are a bit lost on him (“how much for linens!?”). I totally understand. The amount of money spent on ONE day seems absolutely frivolous and dumb. So as the costs pile up it’s conversations like this that make me laugh/really frustrated;
Me: “So we can have live music for when the guests arrive and for the ceremony. It’ll be $300, which is a pretty good deal and we need to decide if we want a guitar or a cello.”
Him: “Wait? $300 for music for an hour? That’s ridiculous.”
Me: “Yes, but it’s the only time I’ll ever walk down the aisle, hopefully, and I’d really like live pretty music.”
Him: “Well, don’t most people have a DJ for that?”
Me: “No.”
Him: “I don’t see why your brother doesn’t just press play on a boom box, this is dumb. No.”

I get an e-mail from him;
“Let’s do this! (link to m&m website in which you can personalize m&ms as party favors)”
My reply, “This is fun, but it’s $300.”
His reply, “Go ahead and order it, it’s totally worth it!”
