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?
My wife and I were married by a Circuit Court Judge in his Chambers. This was arranged for by my Uncle who was an Auxiliary Police Officer. The cost of the Ceremony was a donation to a charity of my choice. Being a firefighter myself I made a $150.00 donation to the welfare fund of the local fire department. Their is now a bell, and has been for 41 years, on one of their fire trucks with our names on it and the date of our wedding.
After the ceremony when we left the building, the fire station and court house were in the same building, the on duty fire fighters had an arch of crossed Pike Poles for us to walk under. My parents then took both families out to lunch.
We had even thought about flying out to Las Vegas to get married. Given that we both worked for an airline that flew to Las Vegas and that my wife worked in the tour department the Airline was going to arrange for a very nice Honeymoon for us there. They eventually did arrange a honeymoon for us when we flew to San Fransisco but that's another story.
We caved into my mothers wishes that we have a ceremony at home that all the immediate family members could attend. We gave in with the understanding that it had to meet with our approval or we would not be their.
Total cost for our wedding was $500. Even today you can have an inexpensive wedding. Friends of my son just married. They had a small reception and ceremony at a very nice place for family and friends. Total cost for the 50 guests under $2000. No band just dinner and a Garden Ceremony. After dinner they and their friends went bar hopping.
Moral of my story is you can have the wedding you desire without a lot of cost. Just stick to your guns and don't let family or friends badger you into having more than you can afford or want.
Congratulations and I wish you two a long and happy life together.
(Rating: 5) Your story is very touching to me. Unfortunately I decided to break off the wedding because I finally faced the facts of his infidelity. In my heart I still feel like he was my soul mate. I don't know what went wrong or why I couldn't be enough to him. I know I am a good woman and I did more then just show that to him, I shared it with him. But I really appreciate your story because for a moment I was able to re-live my dream in my heart and my imagination. Thank you.
