32 years ago I was engaged and married in 3 mo. No reason for it we just wanted to do it that way. We first tapped into all our friends. I had a friend who own a printing company. She did all my printing. My husband had a friend who was a photograper and he did our pic. My parents were close friends with the place we had our reception at his dad came from Flordia to do a pig roast for us.My husband had a friend who owned a jewelry store.I had a friend who owned a floral shop.My mom had a friend who owed a bakery.My in-laws had a close friend who own the place we went on own honeymoon to.I guess it was meant to be since everything fell into place.So tap into your friends and family members first. We had one glitch my husbands cousin is a pastor in Mi. Wi would not let him married us to much red tape in that amount of time.My pastor married us. I gave my brother money to pass onto our pastor. At the reception my pastor comes up to me and graciously thanks me for the gift. Later that day I ask my husband if he gave any money to my pastor and he stated yes I did. LOL
