| What all is involved in a wedding? What arrangements need to be made? Do you have money-saving tips? Who pays for what? We're planning on getting married in my fiancee's home-town in PA, where most of his family lives. My family is in Austin, TX. I plan on paying for my brother and grandmother to be at my wedding, the two most important people, but only for their flights. We're getting married in his church that he grew up in. Speaking of which, what do I need to do to marry a Catholic? Do I have to become Catholic? If so, not a problem. I'm all for it. I am looking for a dress, not expensive. I don't want to pay $300 to $500 on a dress I'll only wear one day. However, I found the PERFECT dress for $599. SUGGESTIONS on other web sites or places to look? I'll probably look for someone to make the cake and invitations. Might have a friend do the photography. What else is involved in this? And help on what colors to choose and how to choose them?The wedding will be April '09. |

| Dress: Now that you've found the dress that you love you can start looking at craigs list, amazon, ebay, etc. You can find some great deals from cancelled weddings or a bride who changes her mind about the dress. Use paypal to purchase the dress for added piece of mind and security. |

| Okay, first rule; DON'T PANIC.Inexpensive gown, try these sites. Not all of the dresses are used, and they're all in amazing condition. On the first site, nothing's over $249!;http://usedweddingdresses.com/http://preownedweddingdresses.com/buy/Also, check on eBay.Cakes; They can be done at grocery stores, if you're really on a budget, and they even taste great! Or maybe a family member could whip one up.Planning; I recommend The Anti-Bride Guide and it's related Etiquette Guide. They will answer almost every question you've got listed here. This is their site;http://www.antibride.com/index.phpTarget has great printer-friendly invitations and planning books at great prices.Catholicism; You may be going to pre-marital counseling with his priest. I would recommend discussing that with your fiance rather than here. You don't convert religions just because. Your faith is a more serious issue than that.Good luck, and congratulations. |

| Ok, this is a site that has quite a few nice, inexpensive dresses. http://www.bridalonlinestore.com/inexpensive_wedding_dresses.htmlFor tips on wedding planning, try http://www.theknot.comAlso, look for local bakeries that are smaller, they can usually do pretty nice cakes for a lot cheaper than most places will charge for a wedding cake (usually in the range of $1000+). And I'm pretty sure you have to convert to Catholicism before they will allow you to marry in the church (you might want to ask your fiance or mother-in-law, or better yet the priest to see what all has to be done). |
