So, today my boy took me to the local wedding expo. It's unlikely that we'll be able to get married here in Alaska, since we don't even have the money for a ring as of yet, let alone a wedding, and we're leaving in March for (probably) the east coast. But it was an opportunity for us to do some pricing and start deciding what we want. It's insane how expensive weddings are ($22,000 on average?!), but we really want to have a 'real' wedding of sorts. A friend of mine had a courthouse wedding with a party afterward, and that's sort of the direction we want to go, but to have a (short, simple) formal ceremony and a (small) traditional reception. We're thinking a guest list of about 50, but the budget is still looking to be around $5000. I do plan to make most of my centerpieces and decorations myself, but we're still looking at ways to cut costs. Any ideas?
