Weddings are beautiful and the desire of every woman. However, a good wedding should not render you bankrupt. Instead, it should help you save money. We most often complicate our lives with unnecessary expenses by trying to outdo each other or compare ourselves to others, which is foolish.
What is the essence of a wedding in the first place? It is for the couple to make their vows before God and His people. It’s never about expensive clothes, food, or entertainment. Why spend all your savings on a single-day event and end up in poverty?

What does the Bible say about comparing ourselves to others?
2 Corinthians 10:12 “We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise.”
It is futility to dare compare yourself or your life with someone else. God writes our stories differently and beautifully.
You can reduce your wedding expenses as low as possible by hiring a wedding gown and most of the wedding materials. Anyway, they will have no use after the wedding.
