I walked down an aisle, in a dress, with him in a tux, with a MOH, 2 bridesmaids and a borrowed flower girl-and corresponding males- in 3 days. Cake and punch and snacks after in church hall. We sure didn't have $5K. I had fairy godmother aunts. One could sew well enough to make my dress, one could bake well enough to make a tiered cake (and I had seen her do it before), one had a fancy camera and video camera and knew how to use them. She needs people who actually give a fuck enough to help them. Second we rented a cabin on a lake for a week for our before and after honeymoon, had the kids and my folks come down one day for the wedding on the gazebo out off the deck had dinner at the BBQ place down the road and put them up in the lodge across the highway. Still less expensive than 5K. Sundress from some store, silk flower premade bouquet from Hobby Lobby, cheesecake. Her wedding doesn't have to be what she sees on TV.
