Hi everyone. My name is Brenda. I just joined tonight. My boyfriend of 11 1/2yrs proposed on new years eve so now we are planning the wedding. We don't really have a date set yet due to some medical issues we need to get taken care of. We want to be able to enjoy the day without any worries or recoveries. So for now we have a few possible dates we are working with. We are doing a basic JP ceremony (as of now) and having a reception some time after. Not a traditional reception. Instead of DJ and dancing we are going to do more of a shower theme and play games for prizes, eat, and have fun with just our family.
I love to share ideas that i have stumble upon in my quest to spend as little as possible. Hope to talk to all of you soon.

I love that idea, have a laid back party with family to celebrate the day.
