Not anytime this year. We're just planning and getting an idea of a potential budget so we can figure out when we'll be able to afford it.

I've helped plan or been in several weddings the last year...
-My sis was going to rent her wedding dress from a place here in la where you rent couture/designer gowns for red carpet events and such. It's actually pretty inexpensive but she ended up buying a dress from someone who had a custom wedding dress made and got a great deal (because it was designed just to fit the one girl so she had to sell it cheap). -Ordered wedding dress (200$) and bridesmaid dresses (about 100$) from Simply Bridal. I've actually worn my bridesmaid dress like 3 times already so it was a good deal. -Free officiants (they were family friends). -Catered it themselves with their favorite foods (ordered from restaurants...for example, indian food for dinner and krispy kreme and sprinkles cupcakes for dessert) and didn't specify they were ordering for a wedding. -Got the wedding party and friends to pay for stuff (for example, I provided the drinks for one wedding). -Had small weddings. (One was just parents and siblings...others were less than 100 people total) -Free venue. -All my family members had their rings designed by my mom's jeweler...so they got something unique, custom, and for a great price.
The only thing people consistently spent a lot on were photographers/videographers. If memories are important to you, that's one place you don't want to go cheap.
