Wedding Day Question
How am I gonna afford a wedding if all I can afford is My dress and a suit for my Husband?
Food and Venues are to expensive and even trying to save is almost impossible.
Please can you give me tips or help me I was even thinking of making my own dress but that cost wont even cover for half of the rest of the money needed to make it a day for me to remember.

Asiya, even on a shoestring budget, a wedding of your dreams can still be had. The difference is you will have to do it yourself. In speaking with photographers, disc jockeys and videographers, over the last few years they all have done several weddings where they are the only paid services.
If you want a designer gown there are a growing number of outlets for previously worn gowns, otherwise I would make it yourself. Do you have a family member with a large back yard? One of the funnest weddings I was ever in or attended was for a cousin of mine. The morning of the wedding all the bridesmaids and the couple's moms gathered in the kitchen to fix the reception dinner. At one point we even got into a food fight, I have never laughed so hard in my life. It all brought us closer together and I have very fond memories of it. My cousin was married in the back yard and then we all served the food.
The DIY wedding can bring your two families closer togther. And don't forget if you don't have the wedding of your dreams now, that doesn't stop it from happening in the future with a renewal of your vows. Five to ten years down the road when your financial situation has stableized, throw that grand party with a renewal of your vows.
Good luck, and all my best!
