Fantasy: marrying LCK

Might as well throw it out there:

A story that's purely fantasy. Everything works out. 

LCK and I go on free dates (b/c there are so many, and I'm tired of going alone, which I loved before and still love, or going with dates who I just can't feel anything for). 

$1700 for a venue on a riverboat. Let's say we have a meaningful free date with that same riverboat company. 

The menu sounds so whimsical, wholesome, and nostalgic but also somewhat novel and adventurous. 

Pick up the marriage certificate at City Hall for $75. Marriage ceremony there for $75. Why not? We're already there. We need to schedule it, but why not pick up the certificate and get married on the same day?  

$100 for a nice wedding dress on sale at David's Bridal. 

Dates - free

Engagement ring - $100. I secretly want him to go digging for it at the diamond mine (a public park in the USA). It would make me feel special if he found a diamond and made me a ring. Or maybe bought an oyster with a pearl in it and made me a ring.  

Example:

Marriage certificate pick up at City Hall - $75

Marriage ceremony at City Hall - $75 (only about four guests and a photographer are allowed, but I kinda figured that everyone else can just watch it live online). 

Wedding bands - $200

Photographer - $800

Wedding dress and accessories/makeup/hair - $200

Suit - $200 

Venue - $1700 (includes table, chairs, linen, and flowers). Parking nearby for $4. Almost windows and heat if it gets cold. 

Food - $75 per person (20 people max. Either Autumn Harvest or local food with a twist. Includes cutlery, linens, and staff. Dates, lobster, sweet potato, butternut squash. Just everything that sounds good). 

DJ - $200 (the venue is for 2 hours. Maybe just plug in music. The venue does include speakers.)

Flowers - According to Instagram, many of these bouquets are made of faux flowers. I'll give myself $100 to work with. 

Cake - $200

Tip - $400

In total, a little more $5000 for dates, engagement ($100 for the ring), and wedding
