The Wave of Angst is ebbing

[windelina]

So, I went home and talked to Monte about the various obstacles we are currently experiencing (the date, the BNAT, the ceremony site, ceremony times, etc.)
It wasn't very productive and we were both bumming and not really seeing any quick answers.

I had to leave shortly to get to rehearsal.
And during the drive I came to a realization, made a decision, relaxed my expectations.
So - assuming we can get the 6th to work - the honeymoon plans will not be impacted by the date or the BNAT. We will simply take a really LONG two-part honeymoon that incorporates the BNAT.
Sweetness.

So, that bit of angst is over. Thank goodness!

Something you may want to keep in mind, and save up for: marriage penalty taxes.

If you get married late in the year, you will have to file for the FULL YEAR as a married couple. That means you could experience some big fat marriage penalty taxes.

You may want to check with an accountant to see if you'd be affected. I know I was with my ex, but we were also in a high tax bracket, and made close to the same amount of money [which seems to be the kiss of death, tax-wise].

Eek. I hadn't thought of that.
That SUCKS! If we get married two weeks before the end of the year - why do we have to pay taxes for the full year?
GRRRRRRRR!

Yeah, no kidding. I got married in mid-September, and it ended up costing us about $4k [for a married couple in the $100k+ tax bracket, mind you].

It's probably going to be worth your while to see an accountant. Maybe you can have some additional money withheld throughout the year this year to compensate.

It sounds like it will work out. You can even have an intimate simple 2nd reception in Austin so Harry feels included in the festivities.
