are they worth it? over the years, i have watched many friends + family plan their own weddings and they all say the same thing: "we should have eloped". except the ones that went to vegas. they all say, "i'm so glad i got married in vegas." hmmmm. so, i have decided to do one of two things when/if i decide to get married (not entirely sold on that one either). 1. elope or 2. have a super simple wedding. i found these images of simple, unique wedding photos that inspire me. maybe getting married isn't entirely out the the question.
Brad & I did super-simple (because he didn't want to elope). We had my parents & sister, his dad, the officiant at Multnomah Falls. It was simple & beautiful. A few days later, we had a pizza party for friends & family at Old Town Pizza (which is where, incidentally, I met Derek for the 1st time). It was (including rings, dress, officiant, reception, marriage license, etc.) less than $1,000 total. The only thing I would do differently is go wedding dress shopping with friends. I didn't have any in PDX at the time!
ReplyDeleteooh, nice! now that's what i think of when i say "simple wedding". less than $1000! i could work with that budget.
ReplyDeleteSimple is good! So much less headache... although maybe mine was a little too simple. :-)
