[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 365368, member: 6705"] My first wedding (XH) I wore my Mom's dress, my single attendant's Mom made her dress, we had the reception at the VFW and I think the biggest expense was the DJ - who was a friend and cut us a good discount. My mother's Mother-of-the-Bride dress probably cost $400, and the alterations on hers about $75. Honestly think the whole thing ended up around $3,000. Now when husband and I got married? mother in law's back yard. Found Onyxx's dress on a clearance rack for $15, sea green with pink flowers and a ruffle at hem and sleeve (the ruffle actually was the sleeve!). Mine was a little harder - my Mom took me shopping, and we did find a perfect dress, but not in my size. The store called another store about an hour away and they did have one. $50 for aqua with darker blue watercolor-like flowers, and a little blue mesh jacket. I found husband a madras shirt in aqua, and Jett a polo in pale green (both at Wal Mart), and the boys wore khaki pants. mother in law was in charge of flowers and got a couple topiary trees, and other stuff, plus carnations for Onyxx to hand out (she REALLY wanted to be a flower girl). My Mom made the cake, and father in law bought two bottles of champagne - one non-alcoholic sparkling grape juice for the kids. I think we had 12 guests. The whole thing (including mother in law's overboard on the flowers, I did not describe them all) maybe cost $600. The one-night honeymoon at a themed resort hotel cost almost $400. And father in law paid for it... LOL! [/QUOTE]
