OK, I want to first thank Suzanne for making me BOTW it's exciting not only because she picked me BUT because I'm actually getting married this week!
Today my mom and I went to the bakery to finalize and book the cake. We got a red velvet cake with cream cheese icing for 100 people. When I heard the price I couldn't believe it. So the question of the day is:
Through out the wedding planning process what is the one thing that shocked you on the price (inexpensive or expensive)?
I couldn't believe how inexpensive the cake was. When I heard the price it was well worth it to have a cake we want and enjoy eating. FH just discovered red velvet cake 3 weeks ago and requested it as our wedding cake. Due to the fact that FH has left wedding planning up to me I thought I would follow through with his request. Our RH give us a cake but we bought one and it just wasn't as moist as the one from Create-a-Cake so I emailed them for a price quote and I was ecstatic with their price! I can't wait to eat our wedding cake!!!!

I think I totally underestimated everything!! I'm the first wedding on both sides for a long time, so we were definitely shocked.

I'm starting to get very annoyed with the tipping process. Considering some of these vendors are small and private places, you'd think that after you pay them $2K+ for something you shouldn't have to tip them an extra $400. Or an event manager who makes a good salary, and the fact that they do a wedding almost every weekend and we're supposed to tip them upwards of $500? Ridiculous.

I was pleasantly surprised that I could get a wedding dress for a reasonable price... I was nervous about this and I didn't want to spend that much on my gown.
