budget 101

.So...it's was the 1990s...I sat down at the computer and put all my hopes and dreams in a popular wedding online planner. Then I hit the entered button and almost dropped the keyboard.

part time job plus 35000 job did not equal 30000.

So, I research all afternoon, find some hope in a budget wedding site.

David bridal for a dress but you can also rent and get one sewen.

I found aarmark for food. You can find a personal chef if you keep the guests small. Then
you can also hire a student chef.

The cake, it can be the grocery store or small creation with cupcakes or sheet cakes.

You may need a million dollars for an event but not so much for a moment.
