You'd think that with this being the fifth child to marry, we'd have this all figured out, but this is the first son to marry in a traditional ceremony in a church building. Any feedback would be appreciated....
IMHO people get too caught up in making their weddings some huge extravaganza that has to be perfect. They spend thousands of dollars and stress out over little things when the stress should be on celebrating with loved ones. I never saw the point of going into debt for a wedding. I'd tell DS that if he wanted DH in a tux which is not in the budget for you, that he could pony up the money.
