They really don't have to much money and they will have to pay for everything from their own pockets. Any ideas would be great and I would love to hear from anyone.<BR/><BR/>Also when you have a larger family how do you go about weddings when you have a few children are on a budget yourselves? I know it's awhile yet as my oldest is 14 yrs. but planning ahead might be the ticket.<BR/><BR/>I loved seeing the simplicity of things for this wedding the flowers, and the beautiful cake that sounds delicious!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing!<BR/>Renee B.<BR/>Mama of four<BR/>rbrown7997@yahoo.comReneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07365628016260943621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-27483585038595923872009-02-26T17:16:00.000-06:002009-02-26T17:16:00.000-06:00What a GORGEOUS wedding!

I had a closet full of unwearable dresses by the time I was 30. I will advise my daughters to do it differently.
