i've never posted on this board, but my name's karina & i'm marrying a Marine. while he's been away on deployment i've been in charge of planning everything for our wedding. we're getting married on august 7, 2011...and it's coming up so fast! we recently had our first baby, so our budget has been really tight (especially with me paying off student loans, etc.) and i just feel like he's going to come home and think "wow, this is what she did with our money!" i mean, we're getting married in a church (nothing fancy at all) and our recpetion is also in the church. we're not even having a real reception. it's more of a mingle/meet & greet kind of thing...i kind of want him to myself as soon as we say i do lol! i just hope that he's not in total shock of what our wedding has turned out to be. he arrives home on the 5th, and bam, 2 days later he's a married man! i have a little bit of $ left in our budget, but i kind of want to save that for our honeymoon (he's only home for 10 days so we're just going up to the mountains)...our friends/family know that we're strapped for cash, so i hope they don't think our wedding is a total bust!
