Said She

I’ve started to look at wedding stuff again.we’ve been kinda vague with the details on a lot of the wedding stuff mainly because, well, we don’t actually have any details. It’s hard to plan for anything when we’re not sure when he’s going to actually get the visa and enter the US (once he enters the US,w e have 90 days to get married). We’re hoping to have a very small ceremony and then a cookout or something as a reception that afternoon. This plan was cooked up by “good, practical Crystal”. Money’s tight, we don’t have a lot of time to put a huge shindig together for 50 crazy Italians and whatever Canadians show up ;)Then there’s “girly-Crystal”. Girly-Crystal is evil and is doing everything possible to convince me that I need a dress like this (which of course would blow the entire budget), and have a wedding in a garden under a beautiful archway of ivy and morning glories. Girly-Crystal is hoping to have a pile of cascading chestnut curls on her head surrounded by a wreath of white lilies and roses, and dainty satin shoes, and a bouquet that would put any creation of Martha Stewart’s to shame.Any ideas for a cheap, interesting, fun wedding?
