How can wedding planning show me a different side of my partner?
I think that a lot of people don't combine their finances right off the bat. So when you're dating someone, you know, probably until you move in together you're not going to combine your finances. I have a lot of couples to whom after they get married keep separate bank accounts. I'm not going to give an opinion about that, but I will say that when you're spending money together on large things like a wedding, it's often an eye-opening experience to see how much your counterpart in the relationship really does spend. What one is willing to spend it on? You definitely want to believe that the person you're with has the same value you do. In terms of what money is worth and what certain things are worth. And if one is a frivolous spender and the other isn't, you're definitely going to learn it during the planning process.
