So our plans to have a wedding on our 2nd anniversary fell through. Yeah, our 2nd anniversary fell on a Sunday, and it was crap. Well, not our love for each other- that's as strong as ever, but my wonderfully amazing MIL passed away on our anniversary. Gotta say, that's a date that will forever suck for us now. Oh, and I was 9 months pregnant with TWINS! Gotta tell you- when you ache so bad and are on bed rest and look like a beached whale, there's no way on God's green earth you were going to get me into a white wedding gown. I'd have looked like the sacred albino buffalo! NOT gonna happen.
SO, my hubster proposed an idea. He wants a cowboy/country themed wedding (holy mother of budgeteers, batman I can DO THAT!) and we're doing it October 18th, 2014.
My grand total: $5000
GAH! What's a bride to do? (Intro to fanfare) Hello Pinterest!
It's no secret that I'm a DIY, hands-on kind of girl. I will ALSO be a DIY hands-on kind of bride! 5 grand will be a piece of cake!
My problem will be this: having an affair with about 100 people, that will be not only fun, but not crossing the line to redneck chic. And when I mean redneck chic, I mean think of the most trailer trash wedding you can, with a touch of class. not my idea of a wedding.
Heather, why are you having one? You've been married for 2 1/2 years already. isn't it time to just move on?
NO!!!!!!!! I want pictures. I want to dance with my wonderful husband to a song he swears was written for us. I want my youngest sister to stand by my side as my MOH. I want my sons to walk me down the aisle and I want to do this in front of our friends and family. More friends than family.
So, with that said, I'm going to be working on my Save the Date designs and will post them when I get them done.
Bride on a budget!! Can't wait for this challenge!
