    ok, so quick recap of me...

    planning a budget wedding, every dollar counts, want it unique, beautiful and memorable without going into debt, so far so good...

    BUT, I work for a talent booking agency and discovered we rep a really good Cher impersonator. My gf LOVES Cher. I think it's cute. She would FLIP (in a totally good way) if suddenly Cher showed up at our wedding and sang a few songs, chatted up the guests and took some photos, etc.

    Got the quote today, $500 plus HST. (tax here in CAN.)

    Does this mean I have to give up something else to afford her? or do I just suck it up and pay the extra to totally surprise and wow my fiancee on our wedding day??

    Have you / would you do anything totally unexpected for your sweetie, despite the extra expense?

    Totally do it!

    I wouldn't count it as part of the budget, but more as a gift. How far away is your wedding? Would it be possible to save up a couple 100 a month and afford it?

    LOL!!!  i know, right? The look on her face, and seeing her sing I've Got You Babe with Cher would be worth it, haha!!

     

    @ohmybears48:  I like your idea of not thinking about it being part of the budget, but a gift to her. And yes, I've recently got a contract position (paid) so I'll be making more money than I thought I would be up until the wedding.

    I think I'm gonna do it!! I mean, come on, who wouldn't want Cher at their wedding? :)

    OMG I was so confused, I skimmed the post and thought it was the REAL cher for 500 dollars.  I was like, "wow that's cheap!."  LOL.  

    I think that sounds like a really cute idea, if you can swing it.
