At the hotel we picked certain venues were included in the wedding package for the ceremony. When I said we wanted one certain venue for our ceremony, I was told there would be a 15 thousand dollar site fee even though an almost replica venue was available at the same hotel free for our package. Why 15,000 dollars? Bill Gates got married there lol ... I also inquired about a videographer that I liked better than the other ones and was told that his minimum was 6,000 dollars and once again I said um thanks but no thanks aka hell no! You just have to stand your ground!Mrs. Wedding Crasherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10138463308135069948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-29329360313473945802010-04-14T09:42:15.925-04:002010-04-14T09:42:15.925-04:00Agreed, good post!

I guess we assumed everything would be more expensive than it has been, but we saved by serving non-American-style food, going with a small town florist and asking for help from a few friendors along the way.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04724896577355920828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-58959047048645061582010-04-14T09:27:56.760-04:002010-04-14T09:27:56.760-04:00Great post.

I feel as if society (or "tradition") dictates a lot of what we have on our wedding day. <br /><br />If you had never been to a wedding before (or ever blogged, read a glossy magazine, or chatted about it in college) what would you truly want there? You and your fiance? Your closest friends/family (the ones you want there, not the ones you have to invite because they invited you)? Your favorite foods? Would you be all about tuelle? photobooths? and limos?Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17998209409220136371noreply@blogger.com
