Hey ladies I was wondering am I the only bride that is along with paying for the wedding as far as me and my fiance see we are both adopted My adoptive family has already passed my family is definitely not rich so they definitely can't help and his family couldn't really help too much neither just little here and they're not much at all so that's why I'm trying to have a really strict budget plus a lot of people that already is married and has been telling me you only do the reception and everybody else gets to enjoy the perks and they're not really understanding their there to celebrate you and your husband so a lot of people telling me just to do a destination wedding and take the closest friends and let that be that but I always picture myself having my first dance and the entrance the speeches I want the whole shebang I found a great venue including catering for only two thousand bucks and it is really nice I live in Cleveland Ohio by the way I'm trying not to go over 10,000 for everything including the honeymoon our wedding is in August and we haven't even began to pay for anyting but after the holidays we are putting the fire under our ass LOL but I do see a lot of ladies are going all out having the extravagant weddings which is awesome congrats but we don't have that family back up it's just us so I was wondering am I the only one
