I am a down to earth person. It is my first time getting married, so I want an actual wedding, but because I am an older bride I have many other money commitments as well as time constraints we have decided to keep to the basics and be as budget friendly as possible. We are going with a rustic themed wedding after selecting our reception venue. It is a small gazebo with a fire pit in the middle. The venue holds 88 people and is about a 4 hour drive from our home. I cannot wait to marry my love on August 3, 2019!!!
