Alyssa..,.you didnt have a videographer?! awwww i'm so sorry to hear that!

MUST have for the wedding: Good photography, good food, good music, fun people, personalized items, awesome dress, photobooth!

What are some things you can live without? fancy linens, favors, all night open bar, having to call a code 235 lol

What are some things you wish you could have been able to afford? A bigger venue maybe... the place i am at now accomodates up to 250, but it doesn't look as spacious as the lake buena vista... lol

MUST: most of my family and friends to share the day with, pretty awesome food and cake, great photos, and lots and lots of FUN! lol

NOT: fancy linens, open bar/full liquor, 7 tiered wedding masterpiece that costs thousands, crazy and intricate flowers (mine are pretty simple and inexpensive), and transportation (since i am getting married and having the reception at the same place, so we are just driving his white, old car to the hotel haha). I think that's it. lol

WANTED: a photobooth : /  (but i might be doing a photo area type thing IF i get around to it hahaha), the ease of inviting more people and not having a heart attack when looking at the total invited! lol

We had to have a big-church wedding and a plated meal. DH had to have tailcoats and I had to have a Maggie. We also had to have a stellar photographer.

We did without extravagant flowers and fancy lighting and a fancy getaway car.

I wish we'd budgeted better so we could have afforded a better DJ, but the guests weren't complaining so I guess it was all good in the end. I would have liked to have been able to afford Manolos or Jimmy Choos but that was a pipe dream

Must have: THE dress, my "near-perfect" groom haha, DANCING, good food, friends and family,  some alcohol, great pictures

Have nots: elaborate flowers or expensive favors (ours were def. on sale!), tiaras, a super elaborate cake, matchy matchy bridesmaids, a specific get away car.

Wish I could afford: to not freak out everytime I get a yes that I will be over budget haha.
