Congrats Leah. A wedding can be a stressful time, both physically and mentally. Good luck with the rest of the plans.

I am sure that it will be gorgeous...just don't stress too much, it's more about the marriage not the wedding.

I agree Andrea! I can't stand those Bridezillas that are JUST GOING TO DIE if the napkin color is off or one strand of their hair falls out of place! We had a small wedding in a lodge 50 miles from civilization on a Monday (3-3-03) with a casual buffet dinner. We rented out the whole lodge and everybody stayed with us- don't worry, we had a private cabin!! We spent less than $7000 for every, single thing! Trust me, three years later it doesn't matter what color the napkins were!

How exciting for you These last months will fly by!
I agree, Gillian. I know people that have gone broke after spending a fortune on their wedding; how silly is that! I've got ya beat though; we probably only spent about $3000 total Had a church wedding; small one though. We had a reception & dance too, but on a budget. We had a dj & buffet dinner for our family. We just did a lot of things ouselves; like making mints, the centerpieces for the reception, etc...I even got my dress at a bridal shop that was going out of biz--got it for 75% off! I'm all about saving money (and that was almost 6 years later)

I had a small wedding too except we spent $18K on 65 people, so when I say it's not about the wedding I know from experience...I wish I would have saved some of that money for a second honeymoon!

We are having a rather small wedding .. this is a second marriage for the both of us.. We have it planned where the msot expenisve thing we have is our photos....We even decided to make our own invities, luckly for us the church that we ar using for our cermony is the church that we both belong to so they are not charging us for the use of the building os we are having the reception their as well

Congrats! I found the 2nd one less stressful as well...I got married at the courthouse because I WAS "Bridezilla" the first wedding and let me tell you...I almost had a nervous breakdown. We spent tons of money, had tons of stress...everything was almost perfect...and got divorced so it definitley wasn't worth it in the long run. But...I was a beautiful bride with a fabulous dress that I made some poor woman sew every bead and pearl on by hand... Enough about me...focus on you. Did you set up your own registry?

 

[mommyhugz1978]

RegsitryYUP I sure did, do my own registry.. it's kind of werid getting emails about my regirstry from HO... now I have to figure out how to do my own bridal shower with the help of my maid of honor!!!
