Cutbacks...

Well, the general consensus is that the budget is the end all and be all of wedding planning.

Yeah, right.

When Rob and I sat down and originally budgeted for the wedding, we had NO idea how much things actually costed! After we booked a few things, our budget changed, doubled almost! In fact, I'm completely unsure as to why we even HAVE a budget... we're constantly changing it!

Not to say that it's a problem, because we are doing everything we can to make sure that our wedding day is not only an amazing memory for us, but also for everyone else who will be coming to celebrate with us!

After leaving a couple of deposits, Rob and I had a heart to heart. It went something like this:

"If we're getting such an amazing photographer, we don't NEED a videographer, right?""- Rob
"I, I guess..." - Jenn
"Well, come on.... the pictures will be great!"- Rob
"No, you're right babe, we don't need one.... let's save the money!"- Jenn

So, we veto'd the videographer. THEN, Rob went to work, and was bombarded by people at work that told him you can't do WITHOUT the videographer.... apparently, we'd regret it. LOL So, we re-budgeted for the videographer.

I'm thinking, for the price of a BASIC package of videography, we could buy ourselves a video camera, put it on a tripod and press RECORD. At least this way, we'd have something other than just the video afterwards....
Then again, who wants to be the videographer at their own wedding?? LOL If there are any takers out there good with a tripod, please be sure to let us know! LOL

So far, we've got our photographer, florist, limo and reception venue.... we still have so much to do... and time is just FLYING by! We're at 1 year and 9 months until the wedding exactly, today!

And finally, I know I'm not just writing this Blog to myself!!! Thanks to everyone for reading about the whole process.... :)
