Wedding Woes

Weddings are very deceiving. I say this because they trick the ordinary guest into believing that the bride and groom showed up and everything needed to have said wedding just magically appeared. Or maybe little elves came in the night before and decorated the venue and kidnapped caterers, DJs, bakers, photographers, etc. I mean, that’s how I thought things happened. 

Boy was I wrong.

I can honestly say that I never imagined how expensive a wedding is, and I’ve really been trying to do things the inexpensive way. Case in point: renting tablecloths for the reception cost about $250. That’s definitely an expense that I did not figure into my wedding budget. But alas, it’s something that had to be purchased, so I didn’t really have a choice. Chairs for the ceremony were also about $260. Man. Every little detail that goes into a wedding is expensive. Every detail. 

So that’s how I find myself with $98 in our wedding account, and I still have to pay for flowers, invitations, programs, and any other unforeseen expenses. Here’s to weddings, especially my own.
