A little bit of backgound info. This won't be my first wedding and to be completely honest, I would be totally fine doing a destination wedding, but the man who has stolen my heart hasn't been married and wants a wedding and reception. I won't dare ask my parents to help pay for the second one so the biggest expense is going to fall on us.
We are getting married outdoors next October and were thinking about doing a chilli and soups bar with all the fixins (southern girl slang). The reception will be held in a barn like building and there isn't a great way to keep foods pipping hot in there. I am trying to conserve money without looking like a tacky mess.
Thanks!
