Engaged!!
Yay! After almost 10 years together, Glen and I are engaged.
To be honest, since I was a little girl, I’ve dreamed of getting married. Yet, my experience so far has not been dream worthy.
I think that my thoughts on the entire matter are different to what they were even 5 years ago. I’m not interested in spending mega money on stuff that guests or the people that matter (Glen and I) don’t even notice.
Glen has set a mega hardcore budget of $10 000. I’m definately going to try to not spend any excess money, but I’m not sure on how I’m going to keep it under the $10k after getting my first couple of quotes from vendors.
Because of the mega budget, I made a list of what is most important to me. My list is: Jewellery (the engagement ring & wedding rings); Photography and; having everyone there. I am more interested to have everyone there and they eat BBQ or Fish & Chips than having a few people and serving them lobster.
So my first quote was from a photographer (my first ever quote). For their most “basic package” it was going to cost $3400. I started freaking out at that point! If someone for 5 hours and an album is going to cost that, how much is the rest of this day going to cost???
And so begins the wonderful wedding day planning. I think it’s better to help a friend with her day than to plan your own!
