As long as I get to marry FH, I couldn't care less what else is going on that day...but if the food is good and the band is good (and ours are both amazing), it'll be a good day. I SHOULD have put photography in my top 5...I'm regretting it already!

@Rosie: I'm with you. NotFroofy and I had to wait nine years before we could legally be married. So at the end of the day, if there was a certificate that said we were married, nothing else was going to take away our happiness.

So i really had to think about this as i know we are gonna end up with a tight budget and i stick with wat i originally told my FH

1- my FH the love of my life, family and close friends

2- location location loctation

3- attire ( the dress, the tuxs, the BM dresses)

4- the cake and other food

5- Pictures/video

at the bottom of my list

1- ceter pieces, flowers, ect... i am a big DIY person and i know i can make something absolutly beautiful with a little time adn effort

2- limo.. it woudl be cool but doubt it will happen atleast not if we are paying for it lol

3- open bar... prefer to have a venue where people can bring their own

4-favors i honestly have no clue where the little favors i got from weddings are at and i doubt most people keep them

5- any kind of DRAMA.. people can leave that crap at the door because i am not dealing with it

Top 5:

1.Venue -Food/Alcohol ( had to use the caterer and bartender they provided)

2.DJ

3.Photographer

3. Church Decor (they dont allow much of anything so i probably wont touch it)

Mine are :

Top 5:

1. photography, these will be the only memories we have as we grow old

2. Alcohol- we likes to get our drink on...I won't lie

Really, that's about it for what we feel like we just HAVE to have- we are easy to please...

Bottom 5:

1. DJ (gonna keep it on the cheap)

2. Invites/programs

3. Video (again keepin' it on the cheap-gonna ask a family member for help)

4. Flowers- I want pretty, but I don't care if they're real- actually I prefer silk so I can keep it, I'm one of "those" sentimental girls

5. Linens- provided, and I don't care...

Top five

1. food&alcohol

2.Ceremony-personal like we wanted it

3.hair&makeup-never had it done before

4.attire

5.Reception

Bottom Five

1.Invites

2.Videographer

3.Favors

4.limos

5.People- it doesn't matter who comes or not it's about us

Seems like noone cares about invites that much. to me it's a waste of money cause people are going to keep them for so long then it's in the garbage as well as the favors

We funnel our funds and priorities to the stuff that will make for a fun day for our guests, and happy memories for everyone.

1. Good food (several kinds of sliders!)

2. Open bar

3. Location/venue that is fun and easy to access

4. Our friends and families feeling cared for and welcomed

5. BUDGET!!!!

Bottom five

1. Limos - we skipped it.

2. Photographer - We're going to do a photo shoot of just the two of us after the wedding, we don't want to spend our precious time with a random photographer when we could be partying with our loved ones.

3. DJ - using an IPod.

4. Decor - I'm sure it will look nice, but we're DIying because we'd rather have the stuff guests care about (food and drink!) vs. stuff that adds a little atmosphere but costs an arm and a leg.

5. CLothes - My gown is from a sample sale. Ultimately, I'm the only one who really enjoys the dress, so I'd rather put the money towards stuff like food that everyone cares about.

Seriously LOL at 2d Bride. I'm with you all the way on that one!!!

Top 5:

1. FW!! That's a big one

2. Family and friends

3. Venue

4. Food

5. Photographer

Bottom 5:

2. Limo (Although I really want to have one so that the driver can stop at our favorite sushi place and we can run in- in full wedding attire- to grab some sushi. I just thought that would be too fun, but it's not going in my top 5)

3. Favors (We're giving a donation to Susan G. Komen)

4. Videographer

5. Save the Dates
