Cheap Wedding

Tell a wedding planner that you want to have a cheap wedding, and you'll immediately see him or her cringe. Yet that was exactly the position that I was in with my marriage.

Say not their work is done.No deed of love or kindness ever dies,But in the life of others multiplies.Say it is just begun.

Fortunately, the wedding planner with my own sister, but unfortunately, cheap meant very, very cheap. I was half tempted, to tell you the truth, to wait another year or two until I was on more secure financial footing, but it was very important to my bride-to-be to be married. We had decided that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together, and she wanted to make it official.

My idea was to have the most low cost wedding we could by simply getting married in the eyes of the state. You get a wedding certificate, take a weekend trip, and have done with it. It would be a lot more fun than having a huge stressful occasion with all of our friends and family, and it would only cost a few hundred dollars.

She would not hear of it, however. She was willing to have cheap wedding decorations and a discount wedding gown, but one way or another she was getting married traditionally.

There is nothing more tedious than planning an inexpensive weddings. You see, there is no miraculous cheap weddings trick. You have to simply save money and everything that you can. You have to find a way to get cheap wedding invitations, cheap wedding centerpieces, cheap bridesmaid dresses, and even a cheap room to have the reception in. The last one is easy assuming that you know someone with space that they will let you use. In my case, we were able to use my parents backyard and save a lot of money on renting out a hall. Even so, everything else added up to quite a bit of money.

The hardest part was picking out wedding bridal gowns with my wife. For most of the planning, she was willing to use wedding do it yourself tricks in an effort to save a bit of money here and there, but picking out her wedding dress was an awful ordeal. In the end, we finally decided that that would be the one area of the wedding where she could spend as much money as she needed to get what she wanted to wear. After all, there is no substituting for the perfect wedding dress.

A child's smile is one of life's greatest blessings.
