Hey everyone,

I just got engaged over the weekend (yay)!

I don’t know much about weddings at all, so even the most simple and basic things are important for me to know.

We plan on DIYing most things.

I just want to start off by saying that the 5k budget excludes these :

- The venue is already booked and paid for in full.

- We already have the cake handled.

- We won’t need to pay for a photographer.

- Our food is going to be around $1,200.

- Our wedding favors will be less than $200 for everyone. We already know what we’re doing for that.

With all this being said,

It’s a mostly outdoor wedding in the woods, so it’s very DIY. We’re going to get court married first, so a real officiant won’t be needed. And regardless, we have someone who is ordained who is willing to do it for us for free if we change our minds.

There are enough seats for everyone, and clean up and set up will be done by us and our family.

We’re very very very low maintenance. I think a lot of people say that they are but then have expensive taste- tbh, I don’t even think I’ll be doing my hair and makeup a certain way. I’ll just do what I usually do.

This will not be a traditional wedding in any way. It’s going to be like one big party.

I’m really aiming for 4k-6k in total. We will have 75 guests.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I just got engaged over the weekend and I LOVE my ring- it’s the exact one I sent my fiancé and I love love love it!!! It’s gorgeous.

The thing is, I pee a lot (like 20x a day) and I shower usually twice a day. Aka I’m always washing my hands.

He told me I should always take my ring off when showering or washing my hands to be safe, but he also doesn’t really know, so I’m asking you all. If I have to take my ring off every time I’m about to get it wet, I will 100% forget to put it back on and lose it. It needs to be on permanently.

Is that possible? Or do I really need to take it off every time?

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for an authentic Greek place (preferably) that caters food and sets up the trays with the heating underneath etc.

It’s for a wedding, but a very casual and rustic wedding so I’m not looking for a fancy choose a fish chicken or veggie catering company. I’m looking for aluminum trays with chicken souvlakis inside lol

Good food, homemade feel.

It doesn’t HAVE to be Greek, I just feel like most places are either just American food or Italian food, and we aren’t the biggest fans of those cuisines.

This will be in Union County if it helps!

Thank you :)
