5. Don't make your calculations based on assumptions of external help:
One good turn deserves another; does it? Many people have helped others in the past and feel entitled to the same or even more measures of help. Unfortunately for some, their hopes are dashed. One mistake intending couples make is putting so much hope in someone else providing assistance of some sort. A rich family member, a close colleague etc.
To avoid disappointments, it is advisable to make all plans within the resources you have on the ground. Any addition from others should be just that; additions.
In conclusion, marriage is essentially full of compromise, letting go of some of your principles, expectations and aspirations just to make your partner happy. In the wedding planning process too you may need to sacrifice some of your fantasies because of the financial situation of your partner.
