When my wife and I got married, we weren't well off at all. I think I made $2200 that first year we were married and lived in a house trailer my wife's grandmother let us use. We made our own finger foods for the reception and played my ol' vinyl records for the music. Our reception was in the basement of the church rectory. I remember our honeymoon was up in Michigan where we had a cabin for the week. When we got home, we had $6 to our name. Yikes!
That was 43 years ago and I still wouldn't trade her for the world, so I guess something must have worked pretty well.
I still think ours was one terrific wedding and we had a great time. Honestly, I don't remember if we even had any "favors." God bless you both and here's hoping everything works out great for you!
