Why are you explaining yourself to anyone? It`s no ones business what you are doing here and why you are doing it. I helped my cousin with her wedding and had it sponsored by a few local businesses and shops and if I could have done that I would have. She got a $50,000 wedding and paid $17,500. She got her cake, borrowed a gown from a shop, borrowed jewelry, the manager at Payless gave her and the bridesmaids dyeable shoes for $8 each, she got her cake from a baker that her family goes to for all of their baked goods. The local supermarket that her family goes to gave her flowers for her to make the bouquets with and she went to the AC Moore to get lessons on making the bouquet. She went to the dollar store and got a lot of things cheap, she received things from the craft store so she purchased some things and they gave her a lot because she buys so much from them. The Girl Scouts allowed her to use their facilities since she is a wonderful leader for 10 years and still doing it. Her husband is a truck driver and his uncle drives limo`s and Bentley`s for a business and they donated all of the limos for the service. The place she had the wedding (the Horticultural Center) was a beautiful garden and it was donated to her because she does so much volunteering for them and she works for the City. She only paid for her caterer and not much for that, her DJ was one of her troop`s parents, her Bar is the only thing that she paid for in full. The local beauty school had their top students to do everyone`s hair, nails and makeup for free, she gave them all letters of recommendation and gift certificates. The favors were made with help from staff at the craft store, we had champagne glasses etched with their monogram and she got rub on transfers to put around them and sealed them (I will never do that again, Connie will give you a GREAT price on favors and if you need help, tell me when you wedding is and I will do all that I can to help. Leave me your e-mail and I will help you as much as I can. If you go to your local businesses, they will help you. Just add their names to the program and they will help. Just let me know, I can do your invitations, help you get favors, do your programs and we can do it all over the computer. If you trust me, please send me your e-mail address (I do it this way so that only we are e-mailing each other back and forth instead of everyone having my e-mail address and contacting me.) I will help you all of the way starting with letters to the sponsors. If you have the time, I can help you out.
