Anyone planning their own wedding without outside help?
We are doing almost everything ourselves, music, cake, decorations, wedding dress, vows. We know we have to pay for an officiant. I know I will have to pay for changing my name. So we are trying to keep everything at almost $1000. We are paying for lunch at the restaurant. The room is free if we pay for the meals.
I think it will be fun because WE are doing what we want, not what other people plan for us!

we are planning/making and paying for 95%…as an engagement gift his mother has told us that she will put in 2k towards the photographer of our choice….
My mother and i are bigtime DYIers so we have a lot of projects my mother has been helping on… .but my Fiance and I are making ALL major decisions…
I agree that its better to do what WE want and no one else! We will be having a recpt hall..but everything else we are trying to do ourselves..
sounds like you are going to have a great wedding 🙂
