Well that sounds like a nice White Trash, crate paper and baloon wedding, but I’d rather be shot!!! Horrible!!!!
I believe its called crepe paper, but I can’t expect one of such high society to bother herself with knowing that
Ohhh, I like this idea.
I am trying to keep my budget under $2.500 and it seems that I will make it. I am not renting my dress or the tuxedo, but we are looking only for these on sale. My Dad is a caterer and he can cater for me for nearly free (I only have to buy the ingredients). We have friends that are photographer and Dj’s and they are willing to do this without being paid. Etc. , etc.
I will let you all know how great the wedding day was.
I think it is a fabulous idea! Weddings aren’t about throwing lavish parties or seeing who can spend the most money. Before weddings became so commercialized most weddings too place in church and receptions were pot luck dinners, like the old time Sunday Church social. Spending more money won’t make your marriage last longer…. probably the opposite.
Uh, Tricia. “Baloon” also has 2 “l’s.”
Sounds like someone’s tryin’ ta be hi-falutin’.
hmm…you should learn to spell balloon.
I think it is a wonderful idea, I have been pulling my hair out ever since I got engaged trying to figure out how to pay for it!
I can’t believe someone would call it white trash, well I guess I can believe it…Who cares how much was spent, at least they are not in debt for 20000 for a wedding day. Do we really need all that crap we pay so much for. I think she’s smart. I would do the same, just because you do it yourself does not mean it trashy. Maybe the last comment came from someone who cannot do anything for herself.
The extreme of eloping shows love is all you need. I would hate to be in big debt on my honeymoon.
Think about all those household things that you would miss out on splurging on when you get back! I look forward to spending $150 or more on just a decent kitchen knife, on doona covers, and even invest in a nice car!
While i may not go so far low in price as these happily married ppl, my motto for my wedding is, “Fun party, me pretty, fiance pleased, and low price.”
Will i think that was a nice idea as far as spending$700 im getting married and my fiance is the only one working and paying the bill also taking care of my kids that are not his. Im so worried things are not going to turn out the way he plans it. Im just going to have a little faith and trust in God and hope we’ve a wonderful wedding. God bless those who have have it and also those whom doesn’t have it, peace and one love.
