Where have all the "ladies" gone?

I realise in this wacky world we live in nothing is quite as it seems. I am not a contestant just a bystander. After reading and voting on the letters which mind you was a very time consuming ordeal..LOL There was a question in the back of my mind as to why someone whom owned a Hummer would be needing to win a contest to have a wedding. I read many stories which the money would help a great deal in getting the dream wedding as there isn't any moneyny left out of their budgets to have a dream wedding or a wedding at all. Small is as wonderful as extravagant if the person you love stands before you and you both in your hearts are commited to love and cherish one another forever the extravagance fades to the back ground and that moment stays in your heart forever.
I say stop the bickering and put your energies into your loved one and plan your wedding as if this contest never existed. Ask family and friends to help with their creative talents and look for outside sources to help out. Act like the ladies you all are and put this mess behind you. Focus on what is really important to you and your loved one and move your wedding into the space it needs to be in. Happiness and joy are of upmost importance. This will be one of the happiest days of your life. I planned and had my wedding within 2 weeks I spent 75.00 on a cake and all the rest was given to me from family and friends. I had a beautiful wedding on an estate where my nephew worked after hours with candle light, I had a wonderful display of food prepared by my family. The flowers were a gift, my husband grandfather and grandmother married us as they were both ministers, my sister sang throughout the ceremony. As I saw it everything was beautiful and magical. Most of all it was special because I knew the love that was put in to prepare my wedding and the love my husband and I both shared. (This was my second wedding the first was extravagent and it ended in divorce) It's not the wedding that makes the marriage but the people that work hard to keep it together. It was a simple yet elegant wedding and it was all planned quickly on a budget of zero.
So in closing the message I say it doesn't take thousands to make a wedding it takes a heart and a desire to make it happen and perseverance to keep it together.
