Re: If you dont mind me asking...

I think we'll end up at $40K for wedding and $10k for honeymoon....paying for it ourselves.

Re: If you dont mind me asking...

looking at about 10-15k over budget, eventhough our original budget was pretty considerable

Re: If you dont mind me asking...

Went over what DH wanted to spend, but just right on the budget I had made. Somehow DH thought we could do all of this with less than $7,000 (he's so cute....

We spent a total of $15,000 included RH for 86 people, photo, video, dress, tux, limo, hair, makeup, flowers, invites, etc. 6 day honeymoon to Jamaica at a 5 star all inclusive, new rings. Lots of haggling, researching and patience.

With patience and research you can manage to keep it on within your budget

Oh and to Lau0614...the bride that doesnt know how you can have a wedding under $20k...you are more than welcome to look at my review...its doeable! Believe me.

Re: If you dont mind me asking...

Will come in about $40K without honeymoon. We are paying for pretty much all of it ourselves. Yikes! We're at least $10K over what we originally planned

JillandJoe Posted: Feb 25, 2009 10:44 PM

Re: If you dont mind me asking...

we r spending around 10K, my parents will be spending about 22K for reception, ceremony, my dress, alterations. FH's parents will be spending around 4K for flowers and rehearsal dinner

total:
36K

wow.... overwhelming amount for just one day

Re: If you dont mind me asking...

ok.. so far i totaled up to $21K :) so i guess i'll get the exact ballpark when its all ready and done...

i also believe patience and a lot of research saves a LOT! :)

**we are also paying this ourselves**
