How was your wedding?
Our wedding went well. There were a few minor issues (too much wind at the lake where I wanted to take pictures and the candles that were the favors partially melting in the sun).
What was involved? Brief details...
The ceremony was held at the Lutheran Church where I was confirmed. We had 6 bridesmaids and 5 groomsman. The reception was held in my parents backyard. They live in the mountians of S. California. We're both really low key people, so this worked out great for us! We had great food served buffet style, and an open bar. The music was great, it seemed like everyone there had a great time! There were about 100 people there.
Did you do anything special? How was your wedding special to you? If at all?
My mother in law, and grandmother in law did all of the flowers and church decorations. They are both florists, so it was great to have them involved (especially since they live in IL, and the wedding was in CA). It was also special that so many members of my husband's family were able to attend. My nephew served as the ringbearer, who was the cutest ringbearer I've ever seen. I wish I would have been serenaded by the ZTAs that were there.
How crazy did your folks drive you?
Both sets of parents were pretty good. I wanted an outdoor ceremony, my mom really wanted us to have it in the church. We had the church ceremony and the outdoor reception. She tried to convince me to wear gloves with my dress, I refused.
Overall, how much did your wedding cost? Who finally paid for it?
The total cost was between 6,000-8,000. My mom and stepdad paid for the reception rentals, food, alcohol, and my dress. My father in law paid for the flowers (total cost $300...gotta love in laws that are florists!), my aunt paid for my cake. We paid for the photographer, the dj, the decorations (favors, centerpieces etc), and the invitations.
