[QUOTE="Fran, post: 365358, member: 3"] I have to say that we had a simple, traditional wedding on a shoe string budget. Church, fire hall, buffet and lots of hand made cookies for guests to take home. Someone called it a cookie shrine. It was done by neighbors and relatives and pretty common in SW Pa. I wore my mom's gown because it was quick, easy and it fit. I just didn't care at that age. I never imagine a magical wedding day. I must have missed that part in girly school. However if I had to do it over again, I would probably upgrade some. I would have a nicer more lovely place for the reception. I would probably have someone who would take care of the running of the wedding on the day instead of husband and I trying to do it all ourselves. No disposable dishes, untensils or glasses. More flowers as decoration instead of paper streamers. I was happy enough with the food, gown, borrowed maid of honor dress and bouquets. One female and male attendent. Siblings did readings, alter boy, etc. Fortunately, I was pretty hard at work on the marriage part instead of the wedding part. I did better in learning how to keep a marriage going as opposed to the lovely wedding day part but I wish I had put a little more thought into the celebration and tradition of the reception. Hopefully, I'll know more for my kids in terms of getting them to think about what they want on this day and the memory they want to create. No over the top spending that's for sure. I had to explain to my mother that wedding receptions were not fund raisers. Alien information in her world. LOL. You don't have a reception to make money. [/QUOTE]
