Hello All,
I am a married woman now! Seems so surreal to be Mrs. Gonzalez! Any how, I just wanted to jot down our budget. We went $1,605 over the original budget so it's not too bad. For anyone getting married soon or later I just want to say... IT WILL NOT BE PERFECT. There will be small things that happen... 2 major things that happened at reception- My sister got carried out because she was so drunk! (I know embarrassing) and towards the end two of my cousins got into a huge argument. I say huge because other people started getting into it. I had ignored everything else, but when people started arguing I couldn't hold back the tears. If I could take anything back it would be NOT TO HAVE ANY HARD LIQUOR! We should have just had beer and maybe one specialized cocktail. Of course, we went all out and had shots. Or if you are going to do liquor please make sure adults know how to be adults. Other than this my wedding was perfect and I didn't pay attention to the minor things. My little family was all that mattered.
