Never Pictured It Like This.
I never thought my wedding would turn out like this. You know how you dream of your wedding as a little girl, then when you really get ready to get married the funds are not there. I never pictured my wedding this way. I don`t really care if I don`t have a big fancy wedding all I want to do is show everyone my love for my fiance, but with the way things look right now I don`t believe we will be showing anyone except the judge. I say this because I can`t afford to have a wedding. I am ashame to be even speaking this, but I`m desperate. If I don`t find any help their will be no wedding plans in our future. It will be us just signing the marriage licences so the state would have proof of out marriage. Someone please hep us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are plenty of ways to have your wedding and still conserve your money. You can start by asking a friend with a nice yard if you could have the wedding there and do a out siode wedding. Then if you have to ask friends to supply a favorite dish as the food. You can make favors and decor. At reseanable prices. There are many ways to do this. I am a wedding planner for the couples who have money problems if you would like help email me krissysbridal@aim.com. I would be glad to help you.

Here are some ideas:
My cousin got married and had only $800 all together. We went to the local park and asked to use the Gazebo. They also have covered picnic tables and a large covered area that the DJ (a family member who played CD`s from his laptop and had music that he could download thanks to a wireless card). We set up the speakers and had a wonderful time, The family all pitched in to cook. We all got up early Saturday morning and grilled them meat and some of the veggies. We had salads in huge containers put them in large coolers packed with ice and covered the coolers. We had sternos for the greens, macaroni & cheese and other cooked veggies. All of the family cooked enough for 100 people so she invited 60 and they ate very well. The decorations came from the dollar store and they had really nice favors and decorations. For her favors, I had ordered little shot glasses, got some chocolates that were filled with liquor and put a tag on them that said, Sam & Elaine are finally giving marriage a shot (they were together for 12 years before getting married). We got bubbles from the dollar store and bells so it was nice for everyone. They got married in their formal attire at the gazebo, had a horse & buggy to take them to a garden area in the park and took pictures, then changed their clothes and came back in a bride & groom t-shirt and shorts, baseball caps with the bow tie on the grooms and a veil on the brides. It was really cute. We got the cake from a local supermarket and told them what it was for and they did it for us. It was a nice wedding for under $1000 and it was cute. It`s not the amount that you spend, it is how you can make it look. You don`t have to spend thousands for it to look like it cost that.
