Financial Questions to Ask Your Fiancé
October 5, 2008
What to talk about Money
I came across this financial questionnaire from Real Simple and I felt that my readers will be interested in knowing how their respective fiancé handles his finances. The best time to have a frank financial discussion is now. You both need to know your savings and spending habits. Many marital troubles arise from arguments about money.
What if you find out that you have different ways of handling your respective finances? Then, it is time to compromise and agree on where to loosen and where to tighten your budget or financial spending. It is best that you both have a clear understanding and a shared approach on how best to handle your finances before you say your “I do’s”.

This romantic comedy revolves around two friends who have been platonic friends for 10 years. Tom is a not the marrying type, while Hannah wants to find Mr. Right. She finally found him during her Scotland trip. The wedding date was set and Hannah decided to ask Tom, her best friend, to become her “Maid of Honor”. The story goes on with a happily-ever-after ending.
At the end of the movie, my hubby, who lovingly calls me his “wedding fanatic”, asked me if having a guy as the maid of honor is acceptable in “real” weddings. Interesting question. Some brides-to-be might be interested to know, as well. So I am sharing my answer with you. There is no rule in any wedding etiquette book that says only women can be maid of honors. [Read more]
