My Fiance and I are currently planning our “small” wedding especially on a budget. Thank your for the ideas. I Honestly thought I was the only “bride to be” to want a “non-traditional”, “small” wedding. I am 100% with you about the actual marriage rather than the wedding.

I had gotten tired of the bride being so wishy washy. So she said she liked a certain dress from an online shop.$55.00P Pictures were taken for free by her cousin. The cake cost $75.00 (an older lady made it) Looked great and tasted fantastic. I made all the food. $60.00. Artificial flowers from Hobby Lobby. 25.00 with coupon.LOL Matt built the archway and wrapped it with grapevine from several wreaths I had. Christmas lights interwoven. Total bill $500. I was pleased beyond words. It was a great day. I do like your idea of eating out. You’re my kind of girl.

We went to Hawaii for 2 weeks (all paid for with points) and got married there. We paid $2,000 (the package price at the resort for a beach wedding) and had a gorgeous wedding, gorgeous photos, flowers, etc. Because it was only us, it was so relaxing. I went and got my hair, makeup and nails done and read a book in the hotel until it was time to put on my dress. We were already at our honeymoon destination, so it was just perfect!

My in-laws were kind enough to throw us a reception at a traditional banquet hall, which we had about a month after the wedding, my parents paid for our wedding cake . We too, played our wedding video on a loop so everyone could see it. We did have a large crowd at the reception, but I have a HUGE family and we had so much fun!!

Regardless, we had no debt to pay off and looking back I wouldn’t change a thing. We’ve been married for 13 years now and together for 20.

Your tips for keeping it small are spot on! It’s a blur, it’s busy, and it’s a lot of work. With me keeping it simple and cheap, I can recall every sweet memory and all of the beautiful details. There was no one to offend or tell me how I should do certain things. Plus, the joy of not paying off a wedding for years after is the best!

Great advice about the dress and veil. Instead of getting caught up in how things are usually done, you thought out of the box. Very smart!
