Subject: Re: Wed Chat 07.11.12 by vetteblondie on 2012/7/11 12:28:23 I agree, I don't understand spending thousands on a stupid dress that you wear for a little while, whereas I can find the identical looking one for $99. My first wedding was a church deal, bridesmaids in matching dresses and crap, my first wedding his too so it was kind of expected. My second, we just wanted to pay $500 and have it all done for us on a cruise ship or the beach or something but his mother insisted. So, I rented 100 white chairs for next to nothing, I got a couple cases of champagne, made an elegant 'bottle cover' since it was at a state park, outside under the shade trees and was beautiful. My ivory dress was a $60 markdown from $300 at a Dillards' closeout store, his tux was cheap, the police dispatcher made our cake as a gift, mom got one of those table long subway sandwiches and a bunch of food and we had some classical music playing. Was a gorgeous afternoon and everyone had a nice buzz, took me about a week to do all that all by myself, and I made my own bouquet and all of it, even the little bottles of bubbles everyone had fun with, made my own labels and all that crap. Still would rather have gone to the beach or something. |
