There once was a girl named Sammy....
Who had a really big family...
She fell in love with George..
Never was bored...
So now they decided to get MARRIED!
....good? no?
My name is Sammy Stedem, and I am getting married to the love of my life on May 12, 2012.
Due to the size of my family, and economic times we are unable to spend your typical outrageous amount of money on the wedding.
TRUTHFULLY....I do not find it necessary to spend an entire life's savings on one beautiful day anyways.
While blogging I plan to share with you the steps I am taking to make this day memorable, yet affordable.
For starters we have located a location that cost us about $500, where the ceremony will take place outside, and the reception inside.
Normally, your typical bride pays separate for a reception location, or ceremony location, but by searching local parks and rec places I was able to eliminate cost by hosting both at the same spot.Also for example, I have been searching online for inexpensive invitations.
I don't personally find SAVE THE DATE cards, or RSVP cars necessary. So to cut cost, we will just have guests RSVP on our wedding website when the time comes:

To create your own webpage it is free, and a good way to inform everyone of the engagement so that a SAVE THE DATE card....can be saved the cost.
Hopefully, by blogging our expenses I will be able to help someone else out there who is interested in a similar budget, has a large family or just plain doesn't want to spend every dime and still have an amazing wedding day.
