Q: My Fiance and I are thinking about getting Married this winter. We don't have much money but we are going to try to save up the most we can. We want to have a private ceremony. Him, I a priest and I would like a photographer there. To vow our love to each other so we can really embrace, feel our love. Then in a couple years we would like to have a bigger ceremony, renew our vows and have our family, friends there. My question is what can we do to make our private ceremony special. I want the priest to say words very true and beautiful. I would like the entire ceremony to be very nice and special. Ideas please?

Talk to your priest and see if you can customize your ceremony. My husband and I chose everything, from readings that reflected our personalities to a non-denominational prayer (I'm an atheist) and we wrote our own vows, too. Everything was very personal, and we had a great time.
It's entirely up to you, of course, but having family and friends there was extremely important. The best part of getting married was making that commitment to each other and to our families in front of the people who matter most to us. Just because you don't have money doesn't mean that you can't have others there! We did ours for $3500 from facility rental to dress to officiant. Of course, we all have different family situations, so do what suits you two the best!

My Personal Forum
My name is Amanda and I'm 26 years old. I'm currently studying electrical engineering. Armed with a fairly odd sense of humour and a sunny outlook on life, I'll take on just about anything. I'm also cussedly stubborn, which has its ups and downs. Things get tough sometimes, and I've never been one to run from it.
In my last 8 years with Advicenators, I've gone from honours student to failing out of university (and getting back on top again!), from single to married, from tenant to homeowner.
Until lately, I have been struggling with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder and OCD, which had basically ruined my life and taken just about everything from me. I'm thankful every day for every experience I've had because of this ordeal, because it's helped to make me who I am today. Things like that really make you appreciate what you do have. Now that I'm back in work and school and starting to become myself again, I couldn't be happier. I credit Advicenators with saving my life back when I was a teenager, which is a big part of why I'm still here.
I won't necessarily give you the answers you want to hear, but I'll always be honest and do my best to help.
