Thank you so much, everyone!!! I'm so sorry for replying so late. Things have been crazy here.

The wedding was GORGEOUS. I don't have the final price breakdown yet, but I think we managed to keep the costs at just around $1,000. We had the wedding at a shelter house at a local state park, my old teacher that I LOVE performed the ceremony, we released monarch butterflies... it was so awesome...

I owe it all to my mother. She made the wedding dress (cost about $125 for the material), one of her friends made the bouquet ($28), her friend who owns one of the Chinese restaurants in my hometown agreed to have the reception there (about $250)... she had SO many connections that helped out tremendously in the way of costs. I'll post the price breakdown once I get it.

Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!! Love your dress! We managed to keep our garden wedding around the same cost as well. Lots of people helping out and offering their services as a wedding gift of sorts.

Congratulations and best wishes both of you! :thumbs:
