14 May 2009
People frequently complain about being engaged forever because they don’t have the money to get married. Well, this complaint really is not valid because you can actually get married fairly cheap. If you get married at the courthouse itwill cost very little! On the other hand if a reception is important to you and you would like to celebrate yor wedding with family and friends it will take a few more dollars to have one. For as little as a thousand dollars you can have the wedding you have always dreamed of. Sure, you might not have the bridal jewelry made of diamonds and platinum. And you may not have a limo to carry you to your honeymoon, but you can still have a beautiful wedding you will be proud of.
The first way to save money is to buy a dress for $100 or less. There are many bridal shops that sell off the rack wedding gowns for as little as $99. Look around and it should be easy to find the right dress. Don't forget that one way to really enhance the beauty of your wedding dress and make it evenmore special is through the selection of your bridal jewelry. When you go shopping for a wedding dress, get the best effect by wearing your bridal jewelry.
The next way to save money is to buy plain, gold bands for the bride and groom. Bridal jewelry that is simple can be affordable. You can buy both bridal jewelry bands for as little as $250 and sometimes less if you shop around. It will be possible to add more expensive wedding bands later when you can afford them. And bridal jewelry always makes a great anniversary gift.

It will generally cost around one hundred dollars for the minister or priest. Save a lot of money on refresmeents by asking all family members,guests and friends to bring a dish or some snacks like fruit,vegetables or potato chips. One approach is to ask for particular food that you would like to have and you will find that a lot of people will try to help you save money. You can buy a simple wedding cake for less than one hundred dollars and add some decorations yourself to give it a special look.
Get married on a friends property or on your own and the cost will be zero. A church can be very low cost-sometimes as little as one hundred dollars and if you are a member somethimesnothing for members. So, if you are a member of a church get married there!
A major contribution to the wedding is the flowers. Believe it or not but you can buy some beautiful flowers at your local super center and then arrange them yourself.
