Gale in the Algarve, beautiful spot not to far from Albufeira.

I am a recent graduate so need to get a move on finding a permanent post, working temp contract at moment (Computing Degree) very hard to find a permanent job, especially considering I am 25 an haven't learned to drive yet.

Partner is qualified primary school teacher so she is ready to start putting money away unfortunatley with my temp wage I am just about getting by, agency seems to take big whack of me.

Re: Just got engaged

Me and the Mrs are due to get married next July. We have so far saved..ZIP. We recently went to a friends wedding who i will say have shed loads of money, so it's a bit daunting trying to work to organise something as nice for 1 tenth of their budget.

I'm just waiting for her dad to cough up some $$ which is tradition right??

Re: Just got engaged

My In-Laws were so traditional they insisted on paying for all of it, who am I to stand in the way of tradition We did insist on keeping it as low key as possible though...

Re: Just got engaged

whatever wedding you have akane as long as its both what you want then thats the most importnat thing mate,not how much things cost and keeping up with the jonesy`s as long as the wife gets what she wants dress and what not its the little things that bump up the budget, get a budget and stick to it
been married since end of february nothing really changes mate but would do the day again any day of the week apart form my kids being born best day of my life without a doubt

congrats on the engagement i was engaged for 4 and a half years before we got wed
