Congradulations on getting married. I would hold off on any long term investments like bonds that require you to lock it in for several months until your're married. There are so many expenses that you'll have to pay for and this money will be used in the process.
If you can stay carfree, the money will come back again and your savings will return. Just make sure to stay carfree. ;-)
