I don't know where you live but a beach wedding is cheaper and so gorgeous. My youngest daughter is getting married next year and she and her boyfriend are eloping to Jamaica to a Sandal's resort so they get their wedding and honeymoon all in one package. Otherwise, they figured they wouldn't have a honeymoon for years.

My oldest daughter was married in a pretty ceremony, then we had a dinner at a great restaurant and it was small, but we all paid for our own dinners. I had a cake and made finger foods in the afternoon at my house between the ceremony and the dinner. If you want to save money it just takes imagination and creativity.

Congratulations!
