Yes, Code Chaos (or Joey, to those of you who read my journal ) and I are finally beginning to plan our wedding! He, while helping me with every single step of preparation, is leaving all of the details up to ME! After all, as the bride, it's my day, right? Well, ever since I was a little kid watching Disney movies and daydreaming about Prince Charming, I've wanted the perfect, traditional yet still special, wedding. Gorgeous white gown, veil and tiara, my two bridesmaids in matching dresses, all the men in tuxes, flowers everywhere, and a reception in a rented area with DJ, caterers, and all of those extravagant details.
The thing is, neither Joey nor I earn a lot of money, and I'm ending my job somewhere between March-May for personal reasons. So, at the moment, we're currently looking for really, really cheap wedding necessities while still giving me the wedding I've always dreamt of. My question for you, is:
a) Do you know of any places/websites that have really cheap wedding items? Dresses, Tux Rentals, Caterers, or any of that?
b) Do you know of any places/websites that have contests or sweepstakes or whatever that will pay for parts of the wedding that I could enter?
c) Any ideas to help make the wedding cost efficient?
I know that a lot of you are my age, younger, or only slightly older...in fact, I don't think I've met anyone on here much older than me. But if you happen to know of anything that'll help, or if you know someone who does, please let me know!
Thanks everyone!
