Hah, I've only been awake a couple hours. It's not even noon! I have to get going soon and help move some of my cousin's stuff to our house. I think it's going to be really weird having a semi-roommate for a month.

So she budgeted 40k but then her plans put her over that amount? That's crazy. I've been really on top of budget with the wedding channel budgeting tool, as we'd be kind of screwed if we went over. Does anyone else get kind of panicky when they think of how much money they're spending on one day?

<div>So is your cousin just visiting? That seems like a long time for a visit.</div>
I know for us the only thing that isn't due before the day of the wedding is the hair/make up balance and the DJ. Everything else is about 2 weeks prior.
That girl is so crazy. I wish I knew she was still posting on her local. I might have read it for entertainment.

I don't get how she can just decide not to pay them. Isn't she under contract? Can they sue her?
I'm utterly clueless about all of this. Our vendors require full payment before the wedding day, so it's not like there's a chance they'll show up and then not get paid that night. I actually prefer it that way, since it's one less thing I have to worry about that day.

Thanks, you got one back! And I had to google wish sandwiches, at first I thought you meant fish, and I was like, but fish isn't cheap... Clearly that one was over Angel's head.
We waffled for a week or two over the STYLE of wedding and thus, the budget. DIY outdoor wedding on the cheap, or all inclusive venue outdoor wedding. Once we decided on our venue (and the budget that entailed) we had a few moments of "why are we spending this much money on one party" but for the most part we didn't look back. Our venue was AMAZING. And aside from the venue (which included ceremony, cocktail hour, reception food/drink/hotel rooms for the night of the wedding for the WHOLE WP) I think we spent less than $5,000 on the DJ, photog, flowers, centerpieces dress, hair, makeup, etc. Less than $6,000 if you include that we also paid for the RD. A year and a half later - no regrets. H now wants to know how soon we can host another party there. He keeps trying to get our best man to commit to getting married there (he's not even engaged yet) so we can go there again but as a guest instead of as the B&G.
Haha Loopy - I bet it would be nice to go back there and just RELAX instead of being in charge of everything. I love seeing pics from other brides using the same venue as I am - it's so interesting how two people can take the same space and do such drastically different stuff : )
