I'll try to keep this short:
(1) two FT students and a mortgage and 2 car loans--are you nuts?
(2) the average divorce is actually cheaper than the average wedding, and the amount you spend on the nuptials has no bearing on that likelihood. The necessary ingredients for a memorable wedding are all about the people--right people, right place, right time. If you're going to splurge on anything, splurge on the setting. Everyone will remember where you got married, but no one will remember which cocktail napkins you picked.

Your personal grooming stuff is small potatoes. The problem is you're trying to live a lifestyle that's ahead of your life progress. Adjust that "vision thing" of what you need/deserve to be happy right now.

And...more time cooking quality food, less time reading finance blogs :-)
