Uh, red flag here.  Sounds like this is the crux of your problem.  The two of you have fundamental issues about finances and how to spend money.  It's not just about the wedding costs.

If you have not already attended pre-marriage classes I suggest you do, quickly.  You need to sort out how money in the marriage will be managed.  You want 2 kids quickly but assume that will mean you (or he) will quit work.

What happens then?  Income will be less and money problems will be more.  You'll start fighting about it and statistically, could wind up eventually splitting because of it.

Might not happen right away but one day he will want Larla and Larlo to have private schooling, brand new cars in high school, go to expensive colleges, etc. and you will balk.

Number one factor in divorce?  Finances.  [/quote]

Why do you assume OP or her husband will quit work? Plenty of working parents with two kids in daycare or with a annny. [/quote]
