Planning a wedding can be an expensive and extremely stressful endeavor. We baby boomers certainly don’t need stress and we sure don’t want to spend any more of our retirement funds as humanly necessary.

Penned by Jhong Ren, one online source for wedding planning help can be found at romance-fire.com. From wedding day problems to wedding planning stress, the author has written hundreds of articles devoted to the travails of the first day of wedding bliss.

His blog highlights:

1. wedding day problems,
2. wedding planning stress,
3. relationship problem advice,

items which are relevant not only on your wedding day, but also after your wedding.

One blog post that I particulary appreciate is titled “100 Creative Ways to Cut Wedding Costs”

The article discusses the myriad of ways in which we can work towards saving money, without sacrificing the wedding experience. Of great importance to the bride, Jon discusses how to look great without busting your budget. He recommends that, if possible, you avoid buying a “wedding” dress. Sometimes a bridesmaid, prom, or department store dress can look just as good as a “wedding” dress and you may be able to find a dress that just happens to be white at a fraction of the cost.

Another suggestion that he makes is to consider wearing someone else’s gown. You could ask your mother, grandmother or other family member if she has a dress in storage. Many times, she will be honored that you asked. You can’t get cheaper than free.
