My parents aren't really able to chip in either, they think they can, but they can't and I won't allow them to get deep into debt for my sake.<br /><br />As for the venue, I'm sure whatever you have in mind is beautiful! Luckily for us I live in the country so we're getting married by a little creek that runs by our church. Now we just have to pony up the money for tents...which are SO expensive!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685973109740930026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4397704318915426296.post-77162359617094144772012-08-24T10:34:30.078-04:002012-08-24T10:34:30.078-04:00Oh the venue search!

It had everything we wanted. <br /><br />As far as pricing...paying for your own wedding sucks..royally. But at least I didn't have to feel obligated to agree with someone else just because they were paying for it. Or have that whole "Well, I'm the one paying for it." comment dangled over my head when I disagreed.

It can easily get overwhelming.<br /><br />http://www.glamkittenslitterbox.com/<br />Twitter: @GlamKitten88Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04872576992263682398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4397704318915426296.post-71892922006520915632012-08-22T03:35:38.414-04:002012-08-22T03:35:38.414-04:00The venue search is awesome.

You see pretty places all day, it makes your wedding day more "real" and we were spoilt by free wine, champagne, and snacks.<br /><br />Living in Cape Town, most of our wedding venues are wine farms. This was my number one NO for me. Luckily we found a stunning venue that is very unique and perfect for me. The price tag was perfect too.<br /><br />Good luck with your search.Cayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14743901741800519320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4397704318915426296.post-32070737125025914342012-08-21T15:25:21.240-04:002012-08-21T15:25:21.240-04:00Whew--the venue search is exhausting!

I "settled" on my venue because it was very inexpensive since I'm a member of the church--even though I never saw myself having a church wedding either. But settling on that meant we could really devote the budget to other things we cared about. Good luck: I hope you find some place fantastic!!Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10240703517373107224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4397704318915426296.post-87313579016539348592012-08-21T12:52:27.380-04:002012-08-21T12:52:27.380-04:00The checklists are so daunting.

Lol.<br /><br />I am fortunate enough to have my parents footing my venue bill so I let my mother set the tone for that decision. But for those friends of mine who don't have that luxury, they were creative in choosing the scene for their ceremony. Perhaps you can find a beautiful park or other outdoor setting that would be cheap and beautiful and then have the reception at an affordable and easily gussied up venue. Good luck!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15758657604386957490noreply@blogger.com
