We're on early stages of booking our wedding for this time next year. We've booked and paid a deposit on the registra for our chosen day. We've provisionally booked the venue too but to book it properly and confirm, we need to pay a £500 deposit before May 1st.
We have this money sat in bank (saved up for this reason) waiting. DP however says its silly to pay them now when we have a few weeks left and that the money is better in our bank than there's. I think this is ridiculous because we have 100% decided on this specific venue, the registra appointment is booked specifically for this venue and the venue itself only has this one slot available in that month so why not just put the deposit down and have it all official??? Why is he insisting on waiting until the very last minute to exchange money?? Also tonight he said "don't panic, even if we go over that date they'll contact us to let us know".
But we know the date!! Why WOULD we go over it like it's some game of chicken??
Or is he right??
