feeding 150? try feeding 250,lol...too big of families-but thats what happens when you have amish background
babyb...that does suck but since you know that you start saving....we are paying for a lot of our wedding as well, and even had to borrow a grand from her parents so we could take care of a few things up front, it sucks but thats life....just try your hardest to save as much as you can....we try to put some of each paycheck into a special account for the wedding...but an idea of it has to be great or non at alll...you can do a TON to save money at weddings, like the invites,programs, and flowers...hope you don't mind me adding some pics of the stuff we made..if ya do tell me and they shall be deleted..dont have a pic of the programs

Congratulations! My wife and I will be celebrating our 1 year anniversary at the end of April.
Oh, and I WISH that we could have gotten away with only spending 10K. I think that by the time we were done with the hall ( a local public aquarium), the dress, flowers, tuxedo, photographer and everything else we spent about 20K and that didnt even include the honeymoon!!!
