I passed the mark, then bought an engagement ring and started planning a wedding, which brought me back down. No facepunches on either purchase-I like family friends and fiancé, so this was a known cost, and we're keeping it doable (albeit not "cheap").
I am paying for band, beer, and brisket, and want to invite who I want to invite. Anything over that and she's responsible for it. Seems to be a good plan so far. Moving in together should cut expenses dramatically though!
