Don't spend a lot on the ring. As you get older, you will always be able to add to it or upgrade is she would like to.

So, you ask how much a wedding, honeymoon, and a place to live? My friend, thats up to you. You can get married for $1k if you want and honeymoon in Victoria.

I say this without trying to sound like I am talking down to you, but you are young. PLEASE don't spend 1000s on a wedding. Shit adds up fast and at the end of the day, it does't matter what type of flowers you had or how many people you invited. This is better understood the older you get. It really doesn't matter. 10 years down the road and 3 screaming children, nobody will care if your wife's shoes costs $15 or $500.

My suggestion....find a place to live first. I think couples should live together before marriage. You need to realistically understand what it takes to be married. 21 is YOUNG! Trust me....I think back at the person I was at 21 and I shake my head.

You can save just as much money not being married as being married.
