Ivory
Suit and accessories: $200
Makeup and hair: $200
Wedding certificate pick up from City Hall: $75
Officiant: $100
Venue: $50 for the public park. There are some nice spots!
The arch with the drapes, foam for the bouquet, zip ties to attach the foam onto the arch, and the faux flowers (a lot of people use faux flowers): $200
Fuzzy carpet that won't stain easily, pillows, throws - $100
Tables for breakfast in bed, stools (Dollar Tree stools?) - $250
Picnic baskets with things in it (wedding favors) - $200
Charcutier from the grocery store - $300 (the other option includes french fries or a doughnut/bagel board or a pie table and coffee for drinks).
Can I make the doughnut board? Maybe instead of staining the wood, I can bring the wood to the sea side. Maybe I can use cedar and naturally dye the wood to that grey-ish tint.
Banh mi - $300 (other option is lobster roll, but that's probably really expensive and would not be the main meal. Maybe pizza. This could go to the wedding cake.)
Can I use cutlery made of food? This way, there are no plastics.
Fancy meals - $50 per person x 20
So the entire wedding would cost $6000 something. Prenup. He can have the engagement ring back although I would prefer if he made that ring for me, and it can be all gold too. Like have a drawing laid out, carve the gold into that design, rub the gold with sandpaper. Gold is delicate.
1. City Hall ceremony ($75, cash only) and dinner ($50 per person, cash only)
2. Public garden ceremony ($50 + everything else) and picnic/buffet style reception
3. Buy a house. Have a wedding in the backyard.
Ideally, no guest leaves monetary gifts - if possible. But in an ideal world, I would be super rich.
I forgot about the cost of a photographer and the vintage car. Darn. Maybe have a doughnut/bagel board, pies that are savory and sweet, and coffee for $300. The other $300 can go to the vintage car. A photographer would cost $800-1000.
$7000 total.
Hmm, I still want a $5k wedding.
Maybe if the engagement ring cost around $500. Like if he could make the ring out of 14K gold and only gold.
It could cost $6000 something.
No, the $300 should go to the wedding cake.
It would cost about $400 for the day for a vintage car.
So $7000 again.
Why not just use an Uber Black?
Then it'll be $6000 something again.
