Message: [QUOTE="tzznandrew, post: 2069396, member: 168"] 8893 is totally right. It is [I]your[/I] wedding. Forget everyone else's desires as much as you can. Neither of our families' had money, and we were the most successful in our family, so it fell entirely on our young and not particularly wealthy selves to pay. That helped keep costs down. My wife is also awesome and not interested in all the frills. That helped. But once we started doing what [I]we[/I] wanted, all sorts of things came down in price. We had cupcakes, candy table, photobooth, no smashing, no bouquet tossing, few formal dance things--mother son, father daughter and nothing else because we wanted people to have fun. I brewed a keg for our wedding, and a friend of ours brewed a second, so there was some real uniqueness. My parents wanted certain things, and we just flat out rejected the guests and people we were uninterested in. We did a few things we were ambivalent about--but pretended we didn't want to do them for negotiation purposes. I come back to this to post again because the day was awesome. The people I loved best all in one room partying. And then a more exclusive group partying later. It was genuinely the most fun day I had. Been married 7 years this year, but had been with my wife for over five years before. Wouldn't change a thing. [/QUOTE]
