So, I have a great guy and future-mother-in-law cause everything has come together for this wedding in like the last week. All that's left to do is make name cards and table cards and buy the guest sign and crap like that. Which, my maid of honor and I will handle next weekend.
We have food, photographer, DJ, clothes, venue, cake and flowers. Its done. Our wedding cost a grand total of $6,000. I think that's damn good. He may not think so but I do. Average wedding is like $35,000. SO, I'd say, comparatively, our wedding is pretty cheap.
I will post all info for vendors in case anyone is interested! Sometime soon.

Man (Well, Bridesmaid) Down!
So, my BEfinF, who was scheduled to be a bridesmaid in my wedding has just notified me that she can not make it. That sucks! I love her dumbass and she is my best friend. I settle for her not being my maid of honor since she lives in freakin' Idaho. But now she won't be able to make the trip at all. To make it worse, she already bought the dress and plane ticket.
She's on notice - she better send me the best ducking present ever.
On a lighter note, my fiance has just let me know that catering and photographer is set! (My future mom apparently works miracles and I owe her bigtime.)
The girls and I are all over the itty-bitty details. Only thing left now is to take care of the music!
Almost there!

Wedding Dress Alterations
Well the shopphing process was dark and depressing but the alterations phase was much better.
I found Renee, of In Stitches, on Yelp. She's awesome! She's resonably priced! She's funny, light hearted and accomadating. She's pretty honest too.
For bustle, sides taken in, extra bra support, a custom sash, straps shortened, and press....GRAND PRICE $200.
David's Bridal tried to charge me $400!
Check her out and her reviews!

Change in Ceremony Plans
So, we have decided that we are no longer going to jump the broom. Just thought I'd post this since the invitations and save-the-dates all said we were. A heads up, in case anyone was expecting a broom jumping ceremony. Also, there will be no libation.
