Gemma wrote: thanks! My personal favorite added touch is the boyscout leader looking minister  It was a package deal...ceremony, minister, pictures (I scanned it in crooked the pictures aren't crooked) for like $600 or so. I really
don't remember, it's been a couple of years. I believe for the wedding itself, we only spent between 1k and 1200. It wasn't bad at all!

Yes, the minister could have worn dress clothes. But honestly, in that casual setting, it's not too bad.
You guys look GREAT! I love the idea you were so budget conscious. What other cost-cutting ideas did you use? |

That was one of my favorite parts. They're now in a vase on the bookshelf in my living room. LOVED my flowers. This isn't the best picture of them...

Wait, those are FAKE? I'd have never known...
Great pics! What a wonderful day. Did you have a back-up plan for bad weather? |

ummmm....don't laugh but Davids Bridal sale rack
My dress was $99
and my flower girls dresses were $59 I believe it was.
Honestly, I did what I wanted to do-just did it lowkey. We were looking at venues where we live and the church we wanted ALONE was going to be almost $2500.00. After that, I was like ELOPE. It would have been a madhouse had we done it where we live. SO much better to drive 8 hours and still get what we wanted.

LOVED it. It has a few little jewels tucked in (sparkley stuff is awesome) and my favorites-gerbera daisies and the green stuff...forget now what flower it is Flower girls had little
mini gerbera daisy bundles. Flowers total were only about $125

My daughter was a candle lighter in a wedding where the bride got the bridesmaids' dresses and candle lighter dress for $29.00 from Chadwick's. They
were beautiful, and she was lucky to get them in each girl's size.

What does that sign say? "Please return bottles and glasses to bar you must wear shoes at all times in the club rooms" ?!?

I like the one where she's lying on the grass and the bouquets are spilling from her poontang.
Also like the series of her, her mother, and her grandmother where all three are looking at different cameras (or people) (because I find that funny-cute, not tacky). |
