Hello everyone,
I just wanted some advice on how to compromise on a wedding budget. I would really like to have a very small and intimate wedding for the purpose of keeping our costs low. I am very money conscious and I would rather invest money into our future or our honeymoon than on a wedding. My fiance wants to invite all his extended family members, which would increase our budget. He believes that it is a once in a lifetime celebration and that it's worth spending a lot of money on. Now I also have a very large family, and if we had all the money in the world, I would love to invite all our friends and families, but we do not. I value his perspective because it's also his wedding and he is allowed to have his own opinions but now I'm not sure how we are going to navigate our budget. The maximum budget I was looking to spend was $8-10k and his was $30k. 

Hey everyone, I know that everyone is probably tired of the bonus questions but I have a unique situation.

I was a paraprofessional for two years until I resigned December 2025. I was never actually removed from the system because around April of this year, I started a new position within the DOE, but I’m no longer under UFT. However, since I haven’t fully made the transition into this role, my payroll still says paraprofessional UFT salary. My question is, would I still qualify for this bonus since I did work up until December, and it still says I’m UFT?
