So I will let you in on a dirty, little secret. Really dirty. You may need to bathe afterwards. Most of my adult life, I never thought about my future wedding. I just wasn’t one of those girls. However, now that I have found a guy that I am willing to settle for (Joking! No settling here… If my mom says I can’t do better, then I probably can’t), and we have been dating for over two years now, weddings are all I can think about.
We aren’t officially engaged yet, but this past fall I have been thinking about the who, what, where, when, why and how of this wedding-to-be. We both don’t want to spend a butt load of money on it. We are just about to finish the whole process of buying a house, so the last thing either of us wants is to spend $25,000+ on a wedding. A wedding is only a day. A marriage is a lifetime. Duh! I am 98% positive that I can put together a nice wedding for no more than $7,000. Say what?? A WEDDING for only $7k?? Impossible!!! This mission is possible! Once the mister officially proposes, I will be setting up an entire blog on the wedding planning business.
I don’t want to give out all my secrets as to how I will be able to have this dream wedding on the cheap, but I will tell you this much.
BLOG GIVEAWAYS!
I have been scouring wedding blogs for the past 5 months now. However, only in the past 2 weeks have I realized the number of giveaways that are out there. There are seriously a ton of them out there. I know I won’t win everything, but I might as well try! Think about it, if I were to win this one from the very awesome Broke-Ass Bride, then I wouldn’t have to worry about finding a cheap photographer or having a family or friend do it for me. Kick ass!! This weekend, P.Diddy and I will be working on our hopefully-winning entry. (Even the Diddy is up for wedding talk if the word FREE is involved! haha)
Other current giveaways:
1) 100 4x6 postcards from Girl with a Ring
2) 100 4x6 postcards from Tigerlily’s Book
3) 250 custom stickers by Digital Room from Mrs. Cox’s Slice O’Heaven
4) 100 custom postcards by UPrinting from Broken Teepee
While putting together a wedding can be VERY adult (instead of saying “This is my boyfriend, P. Diddy”, I would have to say “This is my hubby, P. Diddy”… so adult!), I think these contests and giveaways makes is more somewhat adult and more fun!
