so since i've been gone i went ahead and got hitched. i'm now living in western pennsylvania in our quaint little apartment. since this blog was meant for being thrifty, let me touch on the wedding and how we tried to keep the price down (also we really didn't set out to do radical savings everywhere, we just tried to do things as cheaply as we could):
- having the wedding on a sunday helped a lot. it cut the cost in half, if i remember right. and it was just as much fun, too! don't think that sunday weddings are lame just because they're not saturdays!
- my dress was from david's bridal, and the bolero jacket was off the rack at a place in rocky point, ny called fantasia bridal (they're great). it had a small stitch that was pulling out a bit, so they took $10 off the price and seamed it right there in the store.
- the favors were all put together/baked by my wonderful second mom mrs. vargas. shout out to her because she's so great and helped SO much! and philippia!
- my brilliant mom decided to take a bunch of leftover save the date pictures that i screwed up and cut them to create the tags on the favors. this was a great idea, because i hate being wasteful, and we didn't have to waste any of these messed up save the dates!
- for the dj, we went with tommy's tunes who did SUCH an amazing job. everyone came up to me and them afterwards just raving about them. for the dj package i went with the basic, no zap shots, no emcee, just the dj and his assistant (they threw in him and an extra hour for $100).
- the honeymoon was a living social deal, and it was awesome and peaceful and wonderful. we stayed at shorecrest bed and breakfast in southold, ny. they have amazing breakfast!
