Another ITALIAN bride

ETA: I'm actually inviting more distant cousins that I'm clsoe to than first cousins. I have a HUGE family including about 100 relatives I've never met in Italy

I'm hoping to stick to around 25K. We both have small families, so that will make it a lot easier. But I'm coming to find out very quickly that things cost WAY more than I thought they would!

Def more than $40K. Our RH was pretty expensive....

---

Was originally hoping to keep it at about $40K. It looks like it will be closer to $50K now that our RH is about $25K and we really wanted a band ($7K).

::sigh:: Gotta love the big Italian families and pricey reception halls and vendors!
