A very good 2 cents, and worth way more than that...!!!
As I’ve posted before (but, there are newer members here), our wedding was somewhere in between. Carolyn’s mother paid for her dress. And that was a whole other story, as the owner of the original, popular, dress shop skipped town with a bunch of money and dresses. They actually found another dress Carolyn liked more, for less money, at another shop in plenty of time.
My folks paid for the catered BBQ meal

, Carolyn’s favorite aunt made both cakes (that were absolutely stunning), and her grandfather on her pops side gifted us $1,000. We paid for the the band (at a discount, from my moms hometown of Shiner, Texas

), and the rest, which amounted to about $5,000.
About 250 Guests were invited and about 225 showed up. It was an
AWESOME day and night...!!!!!!!
