Wedding = stress

So I found out this week that it is going to cost us 500 bucks to use our church for our ceremony which will last like 30 minutes. They didn't tell us that there was money involved and that it was that much when we were taking our premarital counseling with Danny. They just said that we needed to sign some papers which we haven't yet because we moved buildings and now there is someone else in charge because the lady who was moved to the main campus. So I'm a little ticked off. And we are already so over budget with the reception. I think we both are ready to just go to the JP and get it over with...lol. We had a budget and told the Holiday Inn that this was our budget and we new it was going to be a little bit over but now it's like there are all these hidden costs and it's really frustrating. So what we are thinking now is doing a combined reception and ceremony if they'll let us. My friend Stephanie is having her wedding the weekend before ours and hers is outside. I think an outside wedding would be pretty too. There is just nowhere cheap to do a wedding in Denton. Mike (who's my manager) offered up his yard for the wedding. He has like 5 acres. Anyways that is my frustration at the moment.

laura,
I am sorry you are stressed over your wedding... it should be a fun time of planning not a frustrating one. It used to be churches did not charge for using the church if your were a member - now it seems they just want to get money any way they can. That is sad! Take a deep breath... think about how wonderful your day will be even if you have to scale it back some to cut costs. Remember, you need to do whats best for you and Les, not what you think everyone else expects. It will be a beautiful, wonderful day no matter what it is like because it is YOUR WEDDING! I love you and I wish you and Les all the best in starting your life together!!
Love,
Aunt Pam

Awww thanks Aunt Pammy. Yeah we are looking for cheaper alternatives at this point. The Holiday Inn is really nice but there are all these hidden costs that seem to go with it. Grrr!
