The Budget

If you're new to the blog, don't worry, I'll catch you up here!

I'm getting married to my best friend and love Dustin Wales on September 1st, 2012. Nothing stirs my soul like a deal, and I've always wanted a beautiful wedding...so I thought, I want to have my wedding on a budget! I have never seen the sense of spending over $20,000 on a wedding. You could put a large down payment on a house with that!

That being said, I decided I was going to do everything in my power to create a beautiful, memorable wedding on $1,500. I've had more than one person tell me I'm crazy...but I think I can do it!

This is where you can look at how I've spent my budget.

I started off with my wedding dress (long before this) - $0.10 - Yes, Really. I bought it at a garage sale YEARS ago. I'm very fortunate that it fits me like it was made for me!
