My $150.00 Wedding

My wedding to my new hubby was a blessed event. It cost us a total of $150.00, not including the marriage license cost. We held it in our apartment. We had the reception at a local park in my new hometown with food bought by us at the local supermarket, and we used the bags from the groceries, that totaled $35.58, for garbage bags.

We had a lot of help including, surprise, his ex-wife, who was still friends with him. His children helped too. I sewed the dresses that the bridesmaids wore. We had no flower girl, but we had a ring bearer. I wore my mother's wedding dress, and I am 38. My hubby wore his Sunday tux. We both wore our Sunday church shoes.

We had no flowers as guests were highly allergic to bees. Our reception and wedding were held in the spring, in May. We had immediate family only as guests. People snapped pictures with disposable cameras that we bought specifically for the wedding. It was a day to be glorified before my Lord God himself.

I am friends with his ex. She and I are good friends now. It's hard to believe, but when you have children in the picture you either accept or cause friction. I chose to accept her and she me. We live all on the same block. People couldn't believe I would stand for her help, but I did stand for her help with as much grace as I could muster. The gifts were received well by our family.

I will always remember it as the best day of my life. I am happy with my life. A loving husband, wonderful children, and new good friend whom I can share everyday news.

Well good day.

Tanya from Phoenix, AZ
