Budget
According to Cost of Wedding, the cost of your average wedding in Los Angeles is between$18,977 and $31,628. Um...yeah, that's not gonna happen. Not because I couldn't imagine spending that much, but because that seems like a LOT to spend on something that's only going to last a few hours. So, my own personal budget is $1500-$2200. If our financial situation changes, or my parents magically decide to contribute, I may up those limits, but I would still REFUSE to go above $10,000.
Stick around as I keep track of what's been paid for, and our grand total for this "shin-dig" come November.
Note: All prices will include shipping & tax if it was paid, many DIY items are being purchased with coupons and/or on sale, and I am a member of Swagbucks, so aquiring points and cashing them in for Amazon gift Cards saved me tons!
