if you will be the given the chance that somebody from the family sponsor your wedding, will you like to have it really big? or just a simple yet memorable wedding? if this be offered to me, id go for a simple wedding. though to some women wanted their wedding day must be some fairy tale type in some sorts but for me, id like to have it simple and keep the rest of the money. ill utilize it because what if we need some things for the house like furniture. where will i get the money? during this days, we have to be practical because if not, you'll be starving the next day before you'll notice it.

Hi, despompa! I am happily married right now, and you know what? We have been married twice already. It was 2001 when my husband and I got a civil marriage. I was three months pregnant then. Hahaha. It was just a very simple wedding. Aside from his parents and mine, my sister, his brothers, our two sets of sponsors were there to bless us. Maybe we're just 25 persons in all in the reception. Last year, my mother in law thought of giving us a Church wedding. So, in July 2007, we were married with a priest. Again, that was also so simple. No more entourage, just the sponsors. We had a simple dinner at my in-laws house after that. Just tying the knot securely!

i had a civil wedding too. my husband is planning for a military wedding but i object because it's too expensive. besides, we already have kids, so i told him that we should invest for their education than spend lots of money for a wedding. i wanted to have a church wedding on our 25th year too. though that will take me years to count, because were still on our 6th year now it doesn't matter.ill save for that now, but definitely, it will be simple.

I am happily married, twice in fact. We had our civil wedding when i was already five months pregnant and had our church wedding two months after i gave birth. we even had our church wedding and our daughter's baptism on the same day to save up on costs. hehe. I remember that we did not spend too much on our wedding. what we wanted was to have our union blessed by the church. what made it memorable was the help that our friends gave us during our wedding. some friends took care of our giveaways. it was their wedding gift to us. i remember a friend who sang at church and it was also his gift to us. a wedding is a celebration of not just two people coming together but a community coming together. i don't think that your military wedding needs to be expensive, it just needs to have the right ingredients for in the end, what is important is how you will remember it after how many years.
