Aussie, you are the sweetest!
Thank you for the compliment on the vail, funny storie.
This is not the first marrage for either of us, so we eloped! Hence, we didn't spend a fortune. I made the vail myself. Yup. fabric from Jo Ann Fabrics was $3.99, Tiara from Claires was $4.99. My husband had a hot glue gun. I looked everywhere for a silk ivory dress. Found one for $179.00 on J-Crew! We drove to a Victorian Bed and Breackfast and married in the back yard gazebo. The weekend stay, the pastor, cake, flowers, photo's included! All for $1,000.
I recommend a similiar wedding to anyone. First marrage or not. Simple, sweet, affordable. We had a great time without all of the pressure.
I hope that wasn't TMI
hee-hee
