Counting my cost

I had a talk with a good friend today, and I realized that my head is still in the air when I think about marriage. Right now, I have a vague, misty idea about marriage being a blissful place where you can have someone warm to embrace you every night...someone to chase your fears away...someone where you don't have to travel miles just to see because we have the same place called home.

But, if I'm really serious about getting married in the near future, I have to start counting my cost, literally. Do my partner and I have enough money for the kind of wedding I desire? Do my partner and I have enough to rent or buy a place to stay? Will we both have a stable income close to our desired wedding date?

I admit - I have not begun to make such calculations yet. If I'm serious, I should start counting now.
