My Girlfriend Proposed a Split-Cost Wedding; I Agreed, She Knelt

While we were planning the wedding, Anne proposed we split every cost down the middle. She pressed her hand flat on the stack of receipts, and her reasoning was airtight. "Marriage is about two people. Sure, you're marrying into my family, but it's not fair for me to carry all the costs alone." I looked at her and didn't argue. Seven years of dating, and I didn't want things to get ugly over something like this.
