Are you doing all of the above? Would you be able to give this to your fiance and he feel comfortable in choosing you as his bride? Or would you not be able to give him this because you have some "not so pretty" financial issues.
What are you doing – what action are you taking to get your finances in order before you walk down the aisle? What are you doing to get your credit in order or ensure it is already in order because you will be buying a house shortly after marriage? You are in control!
