A wedding for $500?

Vegas Baby!

Rachel ... : ) lolol

Well we paid $550 for our celebrant alone, and that's the most important bit.

But I could get a celebrant for probably $250, have mum make my dress for $50, wear already owned shoes, FH & bridal party could wear clothes already owned, do our own hair & make-up, pick our own flowers from the park, FMIL and dad on photography duties, ipod music. Reception would be immediate friends and family, say 13 family members and 7 friends and the two of us, equalling 22 people total. Venue would be our backyard and we would have $200 to spend on food, alcohol, and cake. So we would ask our family and friends to bring a plate and BYO alcohol.

Writing that made me glad that we decided to have a two year engagement to pay for what we really wanted, with no regrets.

I did it! Our license was 25$ all clothes for kids were purchased at the children's place for 50$ that dressed 3 kids matching. His clothes were 25$ from old navy I had my dress and shoes and te courthouse fee was 40$. We had hot dog hamburger cookout with some beer that cost about 75$ an a cake that wa $20!!! Oh it's very possible and extremely fun!! I'd do it all over again if we didn't piss of a few family members along the way lol.

Cheap white dress, courthouse wedding, then dinner/dessert with our closest friends and family.

I would get married at Willow Woods Park! Ceremonies start at $299 in the lovely chapel cabin!

Wonderful, romantic and intimate located in Lake Arrowhead..We can work with your budget for a small ceremony and hospitality..
