    1. favorite thing about your wedding? The groom! He looked so handsome in his tux. If that doesn't count then I would say taking our pics with the bridal party. It was fun to play croquet all dressed up with our best friends and have the photographers capture it all2. something you wish you could have at your wedding but can't? I really wanted a photobooth3. tackiest wedding idea? Having a theme wedding and asking your guests to come dressed up4. number one thing every wedding must have (besides bride and groom ;) )? Its a tie between good food and drinks. I went to a wedding where there was no bar....BORING!!! People started leaving as soon as the food was done5. biggest waste of money? I cant really think of anything. We were good about not wasting money on little things.6. something everyone should splurge on? I would say either food or photographer. Thats what we splurged on and I am happy that we did. There are maybe 10 pictures out of 800 that I am not crazy about. People still talk about the steaks and apps at our wedding too. So again, I think its a tie for me.

    1. favorite thing about your wedding?Marrying the love of my life of course, and being with family and friends. 2. something you wish you could have at your wedding but can't?Hosted Bar, for the full 5 hours. 3. tackiest wedding idea?Mexicans have a lot, LOL. Asking for money from everyone in your family to help pay for your wedding, down to, someone buy your cake server and toasting glasses. I guess it's tradition but not for me. 4. number one thing every wedding must have (besides bride and groom ;) )?Good food, great drinks, and awesome music!!! 5. biggest waste of money?Probably jumping the gun towards the beginning of planning and buying things that now don't 'fit' with the style or theme. 6. something everyone should splurge on?Food and photog!

Having every single person I care about at the same place at the same time!2. I always wanted to ride up to the wedding in a horse drawn carriage like a princess lol 3.My wedding was full of "tackiness" dollar dance, chicken dance haha you name it I had it and loved every moment of it! 4. Alcohol and lots of it! It got my guests going pretty good!5. Flowers! I got a great price on mine but they are all dead within a few days anyways 6. Photographer and DJ. These were the two things I spent the most on and it was money well spent! If you dont have a great dj everyone will want to leave. If you pics suck you wont have anything to look at in 25 years.

    1. Favorite thing about your wedding?  Knowing that I wouldn't have to drop another dime on it...lol..kidding. Seriously, that everyone had a great time and everything looked beautiful!2. Something you wish you could have at your wedding but can't?  I wanted our initials in lights for the dance floor, but we weren't allowed to hang anything from the castle ceiling.3. Tackiest wedding idea?  asking people to pay to come to your wedding to help subsidize the cost.  I saw on another board someone wanted to ask her guest to each pay $30 to help them pay for a nicer wedding.  I just think it's rude.4. Number one thing every wedding must have (besides bride and groom ;) )?  FUN!!!! And, I agree with everyone else on the alcohol.  We hosted an open bar and it was the best decision we made.  Our guests ran up a $13000 tab!!5. Biggest waste of money? Favors.  I spent a lot of time making and putting them together and hardly anyone took one.6. Something everyone should splurge on? Flowers and photographer.  Flowers can change the look of everything and photographers capture your special day.
