Productive Saturday...

I wasn't planing on getting any wedding stuff done this weekend but low and behold, I did. I stopped by the Mac Counter in Bloomies at Roosevelt Field and made an appointment to have a trial with Ayana.

I also bought my BMs/FG the first half of their gifts.

I had them engraved with their names, position in bridal party, and the wedding date. The box plays 'My Heart Will Go On'.

I also did our comprehensive wedding budget. In total we will be over by about $6,000 bringing our total spent on the wedding to about $18,000. But we still think we did okay.

So all in all, not a bad day.

What a wonderful idea! They are so nice!
I need to send you my wedding budget! I had hoped for the same budget as you, but I doubt I'll come close!

Re: Productive Saturday...

Yeah, I analyzed the budget and realized tha a wedding with 84 guests was not possible for $12K, but it was for $15.

We could have gotten less expensive wedding bands. Ours cost $500 each.

I am editing the budget agan because I don't believe that my engagement ring belongs there. So that drops us down by $2500. So that brings the total cost of the wedding to $15,500. That is a good deal, in my opinion.
