Thankyou for your replies,
We just got the date sorted today, we are going to have a celebrant as i would like to get married by the beach if not at the beach at mount kembla which is also great. Will be looking at celebrants tonight when kiddies go to bed (i should be following but pfft).
Our budget is about $4000 so far, thats what we can put in and what my grandmother can chuck in too. DF's aunt (well one of them) offered to pay for the celebrant we will see if she is still willing to do that. (if so that would be great)
I would like to have something cheapish for the reception, considering the drinks, food, cake, etc.
Starbright- thankyou i might get the bridesmaids and groomsmen to pay for their suits/dresses and hair, i am sure they wont really mind so much, they understand the pressures of money at these times, we will help out if possible.
Was wondering should i hire my dress, buy preloved or new? Thinking that i will of had bubba a few months before hand.
