Nickle & Dime Nuptials

When I got engaged in March 2014, I thought wedding planning would be a breeze. Having created, coordinated and assisted on events professionally; I just knew this would be a "no-brainer".

My plan is to reach out to my network of friends-with-services and see what kind of "family" rate I could get. I neglected the fact that these services were also the means by which they fed their family and kept the lights on! There are few or no deals to be had here.

I am determined to stay within my meager budget and still have a fabulous wedding in May 2015!

Join me as I attempt to fulfill the following list in the Maryland/Washington DC area with a nickle and a dime!
