Don't worry about the money for the wedding. Sometimes simple weddings are the best. My in-laws and us paid probably 1/8th of what my cousin's wedding cost and I think it was just as good a wedding and reception.
As for your honeymoon if you're on a budget drive someplace not too far away that's nice and stay a couple of days in a nice hotel.
For us we got a killer deal on a flight from upstate NY, to Indiana, then to San Francisco. Was low $600's for two of us after coupon. For our area, no one beats NWA (NorthWest). If you shop carefully you should have an airline in your area that will give you a good deal. Sign up for frequent flyer cards from that airline. They will often send you discount coupons!
Hmm anyways it's up to you but we moved in and lived together for a little over a year before we got married. I recommend the same for you and your fiancee if you aren't already.
So how did you propose to her?
Moo!
P.S. I have 16x more ram now than my first hdd and about 4400x more hdd space. My first hdd was a 64mb RLL interface Mitsubish 5.25" half height. What was yours?

Well, I proposed to her in uhhh... bed. We had gotten rings earlier that day, so it wasn't like it was a surprise for her or anything. We were talking about our plans for the future next year and I said something like "you know, I haven't really asked you to marry me officially" (something lame like that). So, I asked her if it would be romantic / unromantic to do that in bed, and she smiled and said that was fine, so I did it there. I think I'll stop the story there, don't want to get locked heh.
Oh and my first HDD was a 130mb (either that or 140mb) one from I think Conner or some company sounding like that. Now I have 512mb ram or 4 times as much and 160 gigs or 1250 times as much space if my math is right.
Also, I don't know about the not kids thing. We're definately going to wait a while, but she comes from a big family and I think she wants to have some kids of her own. We've talked about it and she wants 3 kids and I'm thinking 2 sounds good... we'll see when the time comes.

Heh, my stepsister when she had gotten married said she wanted a lot of kids. After she had the first one she was like I think 2 is enough.
No clue ourselves either if we plan to have kids.
Heh I have 1gb of ram and 280gb of storage (60gb raid mirror and 220gb non-raid). Considering I could fit everything on the 60gb raid I have no clue why I have more than that. Suppose it's because of all these hot deals on hard drives. Got the 120gb WD from outpost for $119 and the 100gb Maxtor just last week from the Compusa $69.99 deal. Suppose I could rip to mp3 the tons of music cds my wife and I have. Then again considering the digital camera takes 2mb per picture and 10mb per movie I'll probably need it soon enough.
Anyways good luck with the future Mrs. and remember your future mother in-law can be helpful to talk to when you and your significant other are having problems. Noone knows your fiancee better than her mother.

As someone who's been married for 21 years, let me offer my condolenc....er, I mean Congratulations!
(I'm always getting those mixed up)
Best to wait at least a year before having kids, two or more if possible. Get to know each other and develop as a couple. Intimate times as a couple take a nosedive after kids. Trust me on that.
The best to both of you, and if the tough times come around, take a break and remember this time, and the wedding. It always helped us refocus on the important stuff, like our love, and our commitment to our love, instead of the piddly things we were fighting about.

Nope, no bun/buns in the oven yet, and hopefully not for a while. I'm not ready for a little Jello Jr. running around yet.
Yes, spouses should not compete with each other. never take your spouse for granted. Make sure you start early with open lines of communication and ways to resolve any tensions (in a way both feel is valuable).
I know this is totally off topic, but last night i had a dream that I was getting married to my main girlfriend of the last 5 years. We were getting married at a booth in the middle of a mall. It sort of felt like a nightmare.
