I'm following you now.<br /><br />Congrats on keeping your perspective so well on your wedding. Sounds like it was a lovely day! I've been married almost 10 years and also had a more "reasonable" wedding. My mom and I were just discussing how in our society so much time is poured into planning and spending on one day that sometimes people forget to plan for the marriage, the life together. I enjoyed reading about the beginning of your new life!Jessica @ A Humble Creationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963155376798595944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716624990252627495.post-54801093758564669192012-11-29T16:07:12.476-05:002012-11-29T16:07:12.476-05:00My boyfriend is planning on proposing next in 2013...My boyfriend is planning on proposing next in 2013 so I'm starting to look for 5k weddings and found yours! The first thing I literally said out loud when I saw your photo was "Wow she's gorgeous!" And I've hardly ever had a first time impression like that before.<br /><br />As for your wedding tips, it really helps a lot! I have the tendency to get attached to things and get upset when things don't go as planned so learning how to be flexible will probably save me a thousand bucks.

Dress borrowed, small Inn in NH, student DJ, beer and wine only with a bit o champagne, flowers (GORGEOUS) from local CO-OP grocery store and funky shoes that I just happened to find.

My husband and I were married in October and also had a quick, small wedding. We scrapped so many traditions in favour of a wedding that suited us completely (i.e. wedding PIE instead of cake, cocktails instead of a dance) and saved so much money in the process. And I agree with you completely - having a short engagement period was the best thing we did. Not only did it keep our expectations in check but it kept expectations of family and friends to a minimum also. Our wedding was just as yours looks to have been - short, sweet, and perfect!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716624990252627495.post-72515722450072762422011-05-11T07:17:57.313-04:002011-05-11T07:17:57.313-04:00Hi, I'm trying to plan my wedding and your pos...Hi, I'm trying to plan my wedding and your post is hands down the most helpful, practical and to-the-point I have read. <br /><br />THANK YOU<br />THANK YOU<br />THANK YOU for reminding me that beautiful, simple, and fantastic weddings are possible in any budget.<br /><br />I can do this!Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02182255086733055290noreply@blogger.com
