It's taken me forever to upload these... the final part to my series  :) Enjoy! Btw, for any other low budget brides, my entire wedding cost under $2,000 :D

Yummy strawberries for the chocolate fountain!

Grammy's homemade fudge :)

My groom dancing with his mom.

My sister and I dancing to Matchbox 20's "Push" haha. :P We moshed.

Finally our first dance. DJ forgot it til last, lol!

The first dance was amazing :3 Our song was "My Valentine" by Martina McBride.

We did a dollar dance and someone dropped a $100 in there!

Doing the bouquet toss.

Look at 'em go!

And the garter toss. His mom's words "You better do this like a real man, with your teeth!" Haha!

A photo with the catchers.

Look at this child crawling around! He was my dance partner all night, stealing me and cutting in, it was soooo cute.

Baby Autumn.

I stole hubby's tie.

Heeeey guy!

I'm making a strange-face here... I love how my BM is grooving on up next to us.

Some food shots.

Our punch was amazzzing.

Our cupcakes and cake.

So many kisses!!

The Mr. Mrs. signs and unity candle I made.

Cotton eye Joe!! *by now my hair is a mess and makeups worse, eek!*

We cha-cha slid into the night.

So ends my wedding night. Everything wrapped up around 11:30 PM, and by that time I was BEAT.

I'm so happy with how everything turned out. I wish I could have a hundred weddings, but just having this one was wonderful. Everyone was so happy, I have so many great candids of people just enjoying themselves and being silly. It was a great night, dancing with my friends (though the hubbys not a dancer and sat most of the time). It was great to experience everything.

For all you girls like me, who thought you need thousands to make a beautiful wedding, you don't. You just need loved ones, some patience, and some good old diy.

Including attire, food, venue, minister fees, bouquet/boutonniere, decor, rings, etc, everything was around/under $2,000. Not bad :)

Good luck with your weddings girls! And remember, have FUN!

@AmeliaBedelia: Thanks! We did, it was a blast :P

@piglet_625: Thank you! A family friend makes cakes and we've always gone to her for birthdays and such, so we asked her to make the cake/cupcakes. It was her first time making a wedding cake but it was delicious- vanilla with strawberry filling and cream cheese frosting. The three tier cake and 60 cupcakes for 175$? Can't beat that!

@ratana187: Thank you! Sprite, raspberry sherbert, strawberry soda and I think pineapple juice, with some various fruits :) It was a huge hit.

@forforever: Haha thank you!! I miss the chocolate fountain XD

@April_Fools_Bride: Aw thank you so much! That's so sweet <3. I'm sure if I had the funds available at the time I would have fell victim to overspendititis too :P I'm already looking into vow renewal stuff because of my post wedding depression, haha :D I think I'm hooked... even though I know there's nothing I can do for a few years, it's nice to imagine. :)

@cyndistar3: I worked at a catering company and so they let me borrow it free of charge, even gave me a 1lb block of chocolate :) The strawberries were delicious and a huge hit too.

@Cornflakegirl: Thank you so much! I'm glad you like them, it makes me smile that they made you smile! I really had a genuine joy that day, something that doesn't happen all the time :) And it's called puppy chow, and its my addiction :D It's made with corn chex, melted chocolate chips, peanut butter, a little melted butter, and powdered sugar. It's sooooo good.

@Miss Tattoo: That's a good idea! Where should I post it though? Money?

@aaronlori: I'll ask her for it. I know she uses marshmallows and it's soooo chewy and good :)

Thanks everyone, ya'll are great :D

@SnowPeony: Wow how gorgeous, Love love love your cake! It's nice to see a beautiful wedding where everyone had a great time for my budget range.  I am a budget bride also, so please post a break down, it would be alot of help for me!

Thanks youg guys! I posted a budget break down in the money section if you're interested :)

Looks like you had a great time and you looked so beautiful!! Congrats!

@SweetAdelineXO: Haha thank you! I wanted to jump all over the sweets too, but of course as soon as I started on chocolate-dipping the strawberries I dropped a little chocolate on my gown O.o So I had to stay away.

@HisIrishPrincess: I made the MR MRS signs by getting wooden cut-out letters and thin/long wooden pieces from Hobby Lobby and painting them with acrylic paint (two-three coats). I attached em with a hot glue gun :) Super cheap, easy project!

Congratulations!! Everything looked awesome! :)

Thanks all! :)

@FireflyT: I got mine at Hobby Lobby. They were one of the first things I bought cause they were so darn cute, lol!
