Most practical wedding reception I ever saw...full wedding party dressed for the day, the minister, I’d guess about 50 guests....in the semi-private room at Golden Corral! Now, there’s a couple with a promising future.

We had the same number of guests, but we went into the church basement for the wedding. My wife made her own wedding gown, and her family and bridesmaids made the food. Eighteen years later, no regrets.

You did it right. Close friends and no debt. That should be the goal of all weddings.

My husband and I got married at our farm under a dogwood tree in bloom. I found a female minister in the yellow pages who agreed to officiate and she brought her husband and brother to witness and our basset hounds were the only attendees. I bought my linen dress at a department store and got 2 dozen ivory roses from the grocery store and tied them with 3 yards of ivory silk ribbon. Total cost was $200.

After our vows, I changed to work boots as we had some fields to harrow. It was a beautiful day and a perfect start to our life together.
