Congrats!So I guess, I should tell the story of our "Royal Courtship."
Where did you meet her?
What does she do?
How long were you dating?
How about a picture?
Inquiring minds want to know!
As many of you know I am the assistant manager in a local grocery store. I had seen this cute lady several times and on numerous occasions had talked with her about many things. Fast forward to Labor Day weekend 2008. She came in to shop like every other weekend, and she needed buns on the top shelf. She seen me and told me, "I need some buns up there on the top shelf." For some reason, I didn't just grab them for her. Instead, I mad a funny comment, that became the first of a number of weekly flirts back and forth. I asked her if she wanted me to lift her up, so she could reach them. Smiling (really big) she just looks up at me and says, "noooooo."
Fast forward again, it was now June of this year. I had won tickets to the movie, Land of the Lost. I decided to heck with, my self-imposed order of not asking customers out and was going to go for it. Wouldn't you, that was the day that she came in to shop and we totally missed each other. Neither of us seen the other. So when she got back home, she called the store and asked for me. Asking me, if I wanted her number or not. Since then we have been together like glue.
I guess that answered several of the other questions that Cheryl asked. As for what she does. She is currently unemployed and is looking for a new job. We both hope that it will be a short process. A picture will be forthcoming, in the near future. As for the honeymoon plans, my thoughts is going to New York (her 1st trip, my 2nd) but I still have to get her thoughts about that.
We have not set a wedding date, but have began to actively save every penny we can to pay for the wedding. From the from the Tux and dress, to the small wedding itself, to the reception and caterer. In fact just like Dollars For a Wedding and Wedding on a Penny, we have set up a paypal account for those who wish to contribute a few pennies (or dollars) to the wedding savings.
Current Weddings Savings: $0

I don't necessarily believe you need a tux. And if you're trying to do a wedding really cheap, just do a justice of the peace. You can always have a fancy church wedding later when you can afford it. We're at the same point here and honestly it shouldn't cost you more than $100 if you just wear something nice out of your closet or find something nice at a thrift store or Goodwill. Just my thoughts, dear.
I disagree. I belive with lots of planning you can have a fun and inexpensive wedding.
First place to spend: Photography (you got that covered)
Second, small reception with a good dj (rent a local firehouse, you and friends decorate it and make all the food.) But make sure the music is good.
Seriously, this is an awesome occasion take a day to celebrate with friends and family. Ask that there gift to you be a food item or help decorating.
Get the tux rental and wedding dress. get them used, handmade whatever. This is a once in a life time chance to dress like this.
Get married by your pastor. His services will be almost free and if he is like my pastor he is like family.
I am so excited for you. I believe you can do it all for less than $1,000 and have a great day (in my area you can rent a firehouse about $400 for 5 hours, and a dj for about $400 as well.)
Awaiting pics!
by no means do I mean do not pay your pastor. he should get paid wether he is liek family or not.
