$1,500.00 Was All We Had

The Budget was tight $1,500.00 to be exact, sometimes there isn't any time to plan out a full throttle Wedding or maybe the money just ain't there! In Our Case We had been dating for Over 12 years (that was 9.7 years ago) with a total of 22 years in the making, The Jamaican and I just didn't see it coming

We had lived Carefree in our separate apartments then we would go out on weekends and lay low in our own Worlds on weekdays. I was a single Mom with Kids entering into their Teen years in those days, so I wasn't really rushing into anything. As the Years went by the children grew and went off to college and low and behold I became an Empty Nestor...(I had Several Different Thrift Shops by The way Throughout the Years) So anyways Back to the budget $1,500.00 was it!

We decided to Elope Us and God, he Would Be Our Only Invite! It Was Raining Like Crazy On the actual Wedding Day...However For a Brief Moment while We where having Our Ceremony Outdoors The Sun Shined Bright! ( I told Myself It was Gods Way Of Letting Me Know He took Me Up On The Invite) The Wedding Officiant charged $150.00 But Made It worth every Penny (Photos will Soon Follow) The Dress was $50.00 The Tuxedo rental $175.00 We rented a white car it was $125.00 for 3 days (the year was 2009) car rentals were cheaper then! lol Which left s with $1000.00 for a Honeymoon Getaway, Rings oh and The Bouquet
