E and I have been married for 2 wonderful months! I can hardly believe it! My hubby is pretty much the best. Last weekend, he helped me finish up our thank you notes. He wrote a bunch of them himself, helped write return addresses, and even helped me by putting stamps on half the envelopes. [...]
Photography: $500 When we booked with Evin Photography, we chose a $2500 package that we customized- it basically included the wedding coverage, an engagement session, and the disc of images.

Get excited, ladies… I am finally going to start posting what I spent on the wedding. Even though part of me wants to not post it because of all this debate going on about the cost of weddings and whatnot, and in the end wondering why it matters what I actually spent. These two situations [...]
