Re: wedding cost
I dont understand how people can be so judgemental..I hope everything works out for you love!! Nothing but good wishes for you and your fiance..Maybe things will work out with time..I agree with Mara's post. Maybe you can still have your ceremony and hold off the reception for a later date..

Re: wedding cost
You can always push your wedding back if you need to save money. Like Mara said, it's really about the ceremony... the party will be there.
Hope things turn around for you though <3

I hope you don't have to cancel. Affording a wedding is still hard and I still don't think I can even make it but I am hoping for the best! That's horrible what they said about your honeyfund. I have one too and its not a big deal or a way of begging for money. Hope things work out!
This - I have a honeyfund and a traditional registry so people can choose what they want to give us. Forget the A$$ that made a comment to Gma - they are obviously jealous and egotistical.

Re: wedding cost
:Hugs: I think it's reprehensible what that person said to your grandmother, to hell with him/her. Like others have said, try to switch the day of the week with your RH. Since you're Oct 2012 there are still a lot of dates available. Have you also considered asking friends if they know of anyone who can get you a deal?That's how we got our limo and DJ, and we're using a photographer friend for our pictures. You'll figure things out with FH

Re: wedding cost
Which packaage u have at Med Manor??? I LOVE med manor!!! i did not choose the RH bc its too far from me (almost one hr) But it has AMAZING ALL INCLUSIVE pakcage...
I was gonna go with $10,000 which is a LOT cheaper than any other RH + adding all vendors...
U dont have to ADD anything, what they give u for those packages are MORE THAN ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!
I have ariana waterfalls bc i got da same package as Med Manor =) Our original budget was only $5,000.. we have worked our butties off and diy things too....
i know we went Double our budget BUT think about this, U gonna get an amazing wedding for Less than $15,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and that though made me smile

to be honest guys... after the fight i had with my grandmother...i'm not sure i even want the big wedding i've always wanted.....one of our family members called to tell her how im begging ppl for money by posting a honey fund.....and she told me i was a disgrace to the family and to remove it right away before i embaress her some more..
OK.. chica... DONT WORRY
OMG i cant believe she said da but u know wat? Unfortunately Family tend to stick their noises into ALL of this!!!! THIS IS UR WEDDING SO DO WHAT U WANT AND... (Sounds mean I know but)
FK EVERYONE ELSEEEEEEEEEE
I havent gotten married yet, I am 8days away... BUT trust me IF i would have 'open' my eyes 1.5yrs ago and realize many things im seeing now.... I would have done so many things different... I would have concentrate 100% on ME AND MY FIANCEE... not on what X & X & X & X wanted.....
So JUST DO WAT U WANT N WAT U CAN DO....
the rest of the ppl, dotn mater...

Re: wedding cost
What you will learn when you plan your wedding is that everyone has a comment and you learn to surround yourself with the people who will support you in the process. Every one of us had/has a moment when we thought we could not afford the wedding of our dreams but as someone who just got married, I promise you that it can happen. Every vendor is willing to work with you on any budget. Cut back on things like invitations (we used www. teresalangdesigns.com and she works with ANY budget) and get creative with flowers (we used some fruits, along with our flowers and I purchased those at Trader Joes). You can find a very reasonable DJ and every wedding location will lower their price. One thing my husband and I learned is that there is a benefit to not planning a year ahead (you get great prices but you may not have your ideal date). Consider thursdays, fridays, saturday mornings and definitely consider the fall. The fall is beautiful and the prices are alot lower. Let me know if you need anything because I am the queen of asking vendors for everything with a small budget

Re: wedding cost
We figured things out and we are going through with the wedding. I'm actually in event planning myself.. im the queen of budgeting.. the issue was my bottom line budget was no longer acessable.. fotunetly FH and I are making it work regardless. We are not doing a package deal as we save money using different vendors.. Hope you had an amazing wedding i like Ariana!!
