Doing a Wedding on a 3000.00 budget proved to be a bit easier than I thought, but I have to say; GOD had so much to do with it! Obviously, the first thing is to find a dress and a venue.
Hannah wanted an outdoor wedding,but she decided that a wedding outdoors in July might make the Grandmothers melt, so we decided on an indoor venue. We found a place in Chico, The Chico Women's club. It was everything Hannah wanted, and we decided to go for it. A week or so later; we heard from God that this wasn't the best thing., so we called the church to see if that would work, and they more than graciously let us have the old sanctuary, which was perfect, since we were keeping it small. The main sanctuary already had a wedding booked the next day after Hannah, so that would have been too difficult anyway! (for those who may not realize, we all call the old Sanctuary "The Well")
We asked for,and were granted the well. That was the biggest part of our budget. For covenant partners, the total was around 800.00 plus the cost of cleaning tablecloths. Not bad, considering many places want upwards of what our entire budget was!
I immediately called and canceled the Chico Women's club. It turned out to be a much better thing to do the wedding here at home!
Knowing that we were walking in obedience to God was worth the extra cost, and the convenience of having everyone basically in one spot was a plus. I will continue this a little later...
