After doing the basics of finding out how many guests were attending, it gave me a rough estimate on how much I was going to need for the wedding. Weddings are not cheap by any means, but even on a small budget, there is alot that you can do and get to make your wedding look gorgeous. I knew that money was an issue for Jon and I because we also have a daughter to provide for. So I did some researching on basic prices for everything and who paid for what in the wedding parties and went to my parents to talk about it. I roughly estimated that we would need about $3000 dollars to get everything that the bride pays for done. My parents were more than supportive about my wedding and said that they would help us with the wedding. So that night the four of us sat down and planned out what all I needed to do to make this wedding possible. What we came up with was a location for it (which was already paid for), food, DJ, Photographer, Florist, Dresses, Wedding Gown, Decorations, Cake, Tuxedos, Wedding Rings and invitations. Then after we figured out what all we needed, we started to figure out who paid for what. We came up with my parents paying for the food, DJ, the photographer, wedding gown, decorations, invitations, cake and we took the normal responsibility away from the grooms parents and decided to pay for the florist as well. The groom's party responsibilities were paying for the tuxedos and the rehearsal dinner. Our responsibilities as a couple were to pay for the place, the rings and the extras that we might encounter as we began planning. Then even though we went through all of that, we needed to choose our best man and maid of honor because they have responsibilities to the bride and groom as well. Such ones like the wedding shower, the bachelorette party, the bridesmaid dresses and the bachelor party.
