News Worthy

Last night, in true budget bride fashion, I was perusing the internet for any information that could possibly help me. While I found lots of budget saving idea, most of them were repeats that I have: a) all ready seen and read or b) all ready posted on here. But, I did find a couple of articles that brought joy to my heart and excitement to my oh-so-boring night.

The first news article I found was about a couple who only spent $443 on their wedding. Oh, yes. You read that right - $443. Their story was amazing and truly puts my budget bride theories to the test. If someone can only spend a little under $500 on a wedding, then by golly I can spend less then $10,000. Don't ya think? The bride was also in a national contest at the time called the Clean Start Challenge sponsored by Lifetime Television and SC Johnson cleaning products. Did she win? Of course!!!! When did she find out? Right before she cut the cake at her wedding reception!!! O.M.G. So inspiring. Check out the full article here.

This next bit of information is for any brides in the St. Petersburg, FL area. Next weekend, NOVA 535 is hosting its first bridal event, and they are giving away a $50,000 wedding!!
