Propose With A Cheap Ring
Have a small wedding on a weekday, strictly by invitation. Dont serve alcohol at the reception its expensive.
Cut down on multiple wedding outfits one is enough
Save money
Ignore the honeymoon, your parents didn't do it and they are fine
Get married, work hard and after a couple of years, you can redo these things the way you really want.
The economy is unfriendly towards young people for you to blow huge amount of money for a wedding
