I don't want to even think about Bridezillas! My USMC son has decided he wants a 'real wedding' on the beach at my parents' house (they got married at the courthouse), and my daughter and her beau are plotting marriage too.

Hopefully everything will be nice, quiet, modest and fun. Daughter is saving the cost of a wedding dress by wearing her grandmother's dress and veil (which I also wore). Double weight silk satin, round neckline, chapel train, and real Brussels lace veil. Going to have to have it cleaned to try to get some of the aging stains off the satin.

Two weddings at once? Sounds stressful!

I saved the cost of an expensive wedding dress by having one made by a dressmaker who ran a Mexican takeout shop out of her studio. It came to about $350, for materials and labor, and I got exactly what I wanted.
