Planning the Wedding of Your Dreams without Breaking the Bank

by Molly S. McFee

He’s finally popped the question and the ring is on your finger.  Now comes the nerve-racking part.  You want to throw the wedding of your dreams, but you’re not Bill Gates’ daughter.  What do you do?

Most young girls dream of the ultimate fairy tale wedding:  long white gown, 8 bridesmaids, an elegant sit-down dinner, the incredible band everyone dances to and, finally, being whisked away to a tropical paradise honeymoon.

Many brides have been fantasizing about their wedding day since childhood. However, these fanciful dreams ultimately encounter the harsh reality of an expensive price tag. Statistics indicate that currently the average wedding will set you back about $20,000. But don’t fret — your dream day can still materialize. Molly McFee, in her book Planning the Wedding of Your Dreams without Breaking the Bank provides tons of suggestions on cutting corners and saving money without having to make enormous sacrifices.

This wonderful little book will serve as your personalized inexpensive wedding planner, saving you hundreds to thousands of dollars. It is an essential “must read” for all brides planning their own wedding.

By taking the time to plan and investigate, you will be amazed at the amount of money that you can save. Would you arrive at an interview for your dream job without having properly prepared? No, not if you were serious about landing the job. That is why preparation and research will make your wedding day a success without re-mortgaging the house!

It’s only natural to want the Cinderella fantasy wedding, complete with ice sculptures, a heavenly cake, and thousands of guests who’ve flown in from around the world to enjoy the festivities. It’s also only human to balk at the colossal bill that implementing this dream can produce.

Costs can add up quickly.  Factor in the meal, the liquor, the music, the dress, the flowers, the photographer, the videographer, the wedding cake, the decorations and the dream wedding can seem way out of your league.  But it doesn’t have to be.

How can the typical person have a wonderful wedding with all the bells and whistles on a working person’s salary?  Perhaps three words say it best: Do It Yourself.

Blowing your life savings on your big day is crazy. You can have an elegant, delightful wedding without breaking the bank.

Having a frugal wedding doesn’t mean giving up style or sentimentality. It means using your imagination, working with your own hands or obtaining the help of friends and family.  Ask everyone you know to help out.  Very few will refuse to assist.  They’ll be part of your special day and that makes them special as well!

This book will give you the best tips and tricks from the experts to cut costs without cutting quality and sophistication.  All it takes is the cooperation of your family and friends coupled with a little positive self-confidence and perseverance. No one will know that your budget was one-third of what they would expect.  They will be oblivious as they toast the new couple and enjoy a wedding celebration like no other!

The author, Molly McFee has been married twice (don’t worry, she got it right the second time!)  For both of her weddings she had fabulous ceremonies and receptions for around $2,000.  They were the talk of the town both then and now.  Throughout this helpful guide she tells you what she did to save money and still have an amazing wedding and reception.

Matching Wedding Rings For The Bride & Groom

Matching Wedding Rings For The Bride & Groom

His and hers wedding rings can be a great way to show the world that not only are you married, but that the two of you are a couple. Matching wedding rings can be extremely unique, or very traditional. Here is your chance to start thinking as a couple. You may want to consider some of these points:

* How matching is matching? Some couples consider matching wedding rings to be identical except for finger size. Other couples may wish to have the same ring, but made on a larger scale for the groom, to keep the proportions. Others may consider wedding rings to match when they are made from the same metal.

* Metal. Are you both planning on yellow gold, two tones, or some form of white gold such as platinum or palladium? Before selecting your wedding ring metal you may like to consider any skin sensitivities, life style, sports, hobbies, and work. Other salient issues would be the style of watches you prefer and whether there is an engagement ring to match up.

Palladium is becoming a popular selection for those who like the look of platinum, but prefer a smaller price. Palladium is naturally shiny and is also hypoallergenic, as is platinum. Two tone rings can easily solve dilemmas involving trying to match up other jewelry and personal taste.

Perhaps one of you wants a platinum band and the other yellow gold. Wedding rings can be designed to look just the same but in differing metals.

* One-offs. Truly unique wedding rings can make a stand out selection when worn as a pair. Custom jewelers specialise in making specific items. Unique wedding rings allow couples to be as creative and meaningful as they wish with their wedding rings.

* Stones or no stones. Gone are the days of only the bride having stones in her wedding ring. Popular selections for men include white diamonds, and black diamonds for a more masculine feel. Perhaps black diamonds for him and pink or yellow for her?

* Cultural background. Celtic wedding rings can be a great selection for those with Celtic roots. Other couples may opt for these styles of rings because they love the symbolism of the knots, and the underlying messages associated with the varying styles. There are huge choices with Celtic wedding rings, ranging from identical to two tone, to set with stones.

* Engraving.
Engraving of wedding rings is becoming more popular. Messages, dates, and sayings can be engraved on the inner or outer surface. Scrolls, leaves and flowers all make other beautiful engraved designs.

* The engagement ring. Many jewelry designers have wedding ring ranges that match their engagement rings. Many of these companies also have wedding rings designed for the groom to tie in.

Matching wedding rings can be a symbolic way for a bride and groom to present themselves as a united couple.

“Hi Dr. Ty, I am 33 and engaged to be married to a wonderful man on July 19 of this year. I have spoken to every one from my pastor, my fiancee’s pastor and wife, successful married couples and so on. Neither one of us have ever been married before. We’ve been courting for a year & 7 months. I don’t know if I am experiencing pre-wedding “jitters” or if I have made a mistake in choosing who I believe is “The One”. This man has done nothing but love me with everything he has and is willing to sacrifice and give anything to make our relationship work. I know no man is perfect, but I have some concerns about a few things. Let me say that I am apart of a wonderful ministry that has changed my entire life. Over the past few months, he has been going to my church with me because there were some other things at his church that left a “bad taste in his mouth”. With our wedding just months away, he is still indecisive about where our family will worship. I have been in prayer constantly about this. I do not want to leave my church! I could see if he was established somewhere already but I get concerned when he talks about “finding” a church home. He says that everyone at my church knows me and he wants us to start off fresh. I was led to my church by God and a church home is not something you look for in the telephone book. Also, he works every Sunday so the only time he can make service is on Bible Study nights. My next prayer is regarding his finances. Ty, I know this is not the

Original Wedding Vows – How to Write your Own Unique, Memorable Wedding Vows

Original Wedding Vows – How to Write your Own Unique, Memorable Wedding Vows

So you are going to get married and you want to write a beautiful, original wedding vow that the memory of it will last for a lifetime for you and your partner.


Original wedding vows are becoming more and more popular these days. Many couples, just like you, decide to write their very own unique vows to make their special day different and memorable.


But there’s a challenge here: When you sit down to write your wedding vow, you might get the writer’s block and can’t come up with any ideas on what to say.


The good news is, you’re going to learn 3 great ideas to help you write your wedding vow easily. Here you go…

Idea #1: Tell Him/Her Why You Love Him/Her


The person you are going to marry is very special to you and you love him/her very much, right?


So why not start your wedding vow by letting him/her know WHY you love him/her so much? What is it about him/her that have made you fall deeply in love with this person?


Tell him/her how different and wonderful your life has become because having him/her in it, and explain “why”. Simply speak from your heart, because what comes from the heart, reaches the heart.


This will make the perfect beginning for your wedding vow.

Idea #2: Make A Promise about How You Are Going to Make His/Her Life Different


You are planning to spend the rest of your life with this man/woman who you really care about. So tell him/her “how” the rest of his/her life is going to be… with you.


Here’s a sample wedding vow to help you get the picture…


“I will the shoulder you can always lean on. I will be the rock on which you can always rest. Whatever lies ahead, good or bad, I will stand beside you and face it with you. I will be your friend, your lover, and your husband/wife for the rest of our lives.”


It’s a good idea to use a romantic wedding poem here, because sometimes nothing can show our deepest feelings better than a romantic poem.

Idea #3: Take His/Her Hands and Look into His/Her Eyes


No matter what words you are speaking, taking your partner’s hands and looking deep into his/her eyes will definitely double the effect of your words, because they will just flow deep into your partner’s heart.


So take your partner’s hands! It is a very romantic and memorable gesture that will make those moments a beautiful memory you both will cherish for the rest of your lives.


Wishing you a happy and joyful life,
