Wedding Reception/ Food

I Have raised my children on my own with no help from their dad. There have been many things my children grew up with out but always had love. I struggle to pay bills, living pay check to pay check. My son is getting married on Valentines Day 2009. He and his bride to be will be married at First Coast Baptist Chruch Jacksonville. It will only be about 35 people due to the lack of money. I really am trying with all my heart to at least try to give him simple wedding, and really need help with the reception. Is there anyone out there that could help me provide for this. I called around and we are talking 450.00 dollars which I don`t have. I thought making the food my self which is no problem but I can`t even afford to buy that much food to make for that many people. Are there any cateriers willing to help in anyway. I really just don`t want to let my son down. I want him to shine for one day. His day, Her day, Their Day.. I would be ever so greatful. Thank you

We are using a "pasta bar" at our wedding. Bow tie pasta and penne pasta with a white sauce or a red sauce. (We are also having different veggies and meat to add into your pasta, but that will make your expense go up.) Add shredded cheese, garlic bread and salad. We ended up spending about 1/3 of what we would have otherwise and everyone will have a filling meal.
