That’s what’s up. A wedding with no debt to start their life together. What a gorgeous couple. It’s beautiful. 💖
Sup wonder woman 👀
That part use that money and buy a house
U mean u can borrow money for ur wedding? 😳
@@angiedonams1266 alot of people take a loan for their wedding
@@PrincessAfrica3 We and my spouse did the same 7 yrs ago. But we paid for guests food and drink, wedding caks and religious services and venue reservations, so total amount spent was around $3k which was still not bad which we both equally divided. Till today no debt. 😍✌
This is gonna be a successful marriage for sure. They don't care about the hype or the image, they just care about their love for each other.
Amen
I love it!
They seem very mature
Cheap or expensive weddings don’t make a good marriage
So true
A couple after my own heart. That’s exactly what getting married should be about
@Home always someone like you in the crowd
👍👍👍😊😊
Absolutely!
Yup.. and they still looked good 🥰
I love that they both wanted to be frugal. Everything looked gorgeous. Congrats to the both of them.
I wouldn't have guess it was a $47 dress or $500 wedding...They looked so elegant and their venue was beautiful! Considering today's crazy prices this was very smart to me! Congrats to the newly weds! 💗
You call being cheap smart?
@@julianbanks1885 No, knowing your budget is smart. They were allocating their funds. They said they rather spend the money on their honeymoon. Again, it didn't look cheap & their guest agreed to buying their own stuff...not like they were unaware of it.
I agree 110%. That was the smartest wedding that has been publicized so far.
I agree. She looked beautiful, he looked handsome, the party looked great.
@@julianbanks1885 They’re just being smart with their money, that’s how the rich stay rich. ldiot
i love how supportive their guests are. Normally, lots of people will criticize you for being frugal specially on your wedding day but this couple really set an example .
Its weird when a wedding is announced people get aggressively entitled
Don’t know how people can criticize something they’re not paying for .
Great example. The wedding is about the two people getting married . NOT THE GUESTS. I applaud this , thanks for making it public.
I would never criticize someone for a cheap wedding. I find it more insane to go all out for one party. I’ve been in multiple weddings as a bridesmaid, my friend and her husband went into debt and ended moving back with her parents for a whole 5 years because their wedding put them so under. It disgusts me to say the least. Especially because they don’t even have sex anymore 😭😂 it’s not worth it, especially if you don’t even have it.
Of course because a lot of budget weddings turn into cheapskate wedding where you feel the ickyness of second guessing hygiene standards and safety, and everything looks awful. You know the type like -we salvaged these shrimps from dumpsters at seaworld and used Christmas decorations to make hair jewellery,the wedding dress is the nightie that great grandma Rose died in,and never mind the balloons saying my condolences , it's a boy and happy sweet 16 Jennifer...they were cheap .
Paid 75$ for my wedding dress. Reception was in the basement of a family friend just for the family. Still married 29 years later. It really doesn’t take an extravagant wedding to be happy.
Wow. Thank you for sharing.
Can you imagine spending several thousands on a wedding and a marriage lasting less than a couple of years? Sadly, many go through this! You and this couple are in it for a successful marriage, not some fantasy life. Congratulations!
Smart..Nice!💕
Wonderful 👍👍
That's a blessing 🙌
Her dress was gorgeous!! She may have only spent $50 but she looked like a million bucks!! So classy and beautiful!
Exactly 💯 💯 💯
True 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Exactly. $47
Seriouslyyyy!!
Right!!!! She looked gorgeous 😩
My daughter’s wedding was a sunset affair at a historic mansion. Cost us under $1000. We hired a cellist for music, brought the food ourselves, served it ourselves, and DJ’d the wedding ourselves with help from the guests. The woman who was the overseer of the mansion event said it was one of the most beautiful and fun weddings she had supervised there. She thought it was such fun, she helped out serving the food.
Aww sounds like a wedding i would have loved to attend.
Old school wedding are the bomb
didn't say anything good about this couple. Instead just gotta one up them.
that's the feeling. Wish you all be happy❤
@@1dodo100 Lmao, on one hand I see what you mean, but on another I don't think this couple gives af so how about you project your own insecurities on your own time and not others' lol
I did it in a $13 dress and a gifted bouquet. My husband got his suit for $12 (thrift shops are LIFE). We got married at the county clerk recorder’s office at 8:30am and I walked into work at 10am for a meeting with the whole wedding dress. We celebrate 10 years together today. We ain’t about the show, we are about the love. Keep the focus!!
That is so beautiful and i loveeeee ppl with a gift to shop (i know that dress was MEAN ).... Ive always been blessed to find whatever i want and Cheap!
Good for you! Our budget was similar and we planned our wedding in less than a week in our neighbors beautiful backyard with only close family and friends. 13 years strong and 5 years married
Congratulations!! I pray you have many more years together.
My story is similar 💕
Wow that’s so awesome!, good on that couple going viral to show the world how to do it🎉
Maybe u will go viral too 🤣
And bet you their marriage will push through thick and thin. Good on them.
Statistics show that people who had less expensive weddings, stayed married longer. They get married for the right reason, love.
I hope so.....we NEED solid young couples...
Yep, I bet it does too 🤞🏾
I was just saying this marriage will last long & they'll be loaded by the ends of their lives. They agree on money matters & she's soooooo cool/chill.
I hope this couple inspires others. So many young people feel pressured to take on ridiculous debt in order to have an Instagram-worthy wedding. This couple spent less than a grand and still looked like a million bucks.
That dress is literally so pretty tho. Simple and shiny. Weddings DONT need to be expensive to be fun and big. All you need is a place and family.
Not even family. If God is invited, then that's all you need.
Each person can bring a different dish.
Yup. Well said
@@jdfodio you can invite Him, but I bet He is a no-show.
jdfodio I don’t think most people would want to have a wedding alone
TRUST ME GUYS... this sets a tone..... this is a couple that will be together forever.
Theres like a 90% chance they will divorce.
@Sincerely Respectfully o shut up not every woman is the same God yall are annoying
@@tubester4567 lol she seems to be a good one
@@dpolanco96 Everyone seems nice and loving during the honeymoon phase. Lets see how they are when the novelty of sex wears off,
@@tubester4567 real ray of sunshine
Smartest couple ever!! They definitely do set a great example. Blessings to this couple and I wish them all the best!!
Exactly !!! Bought a white dress for $55 went to the beach (big lake) got married, couldn’t tell the difference from an “OCEAN VIEW” in my ULTRA CUTE Dollartree frame !! ✨🤩🥰
Very rare to see brothas/sistas not be obsessed with the material world....
I.e. rims, gold chains, basketball shoes, bragging in rap songs, etc.
Good for them 👍🏿
@@sticksnstonespatriot1728 You are not black, I have see your comment on other threads. lol
@@maliaheart8468 OK Joe Biden....
Neither are you.
What's your point...?
@@maliaheart8468 he's albino, so don't be racist
I wouldn’t mind going to a wedding and paying for own food if the couple wanted to be frugal. Anyone who complains doesn’t care about the marriage and shouldn’t have been invited. Beautiful couple, wishing them a happy ending!
Honestly, it’s no different than meeting up with friends for lunch or a birthday dinner. We pay for our food then, so why not pay for our own food at a wedding too? Lol. I just can’t afford to pay for an expensive meal. Lol. But I wouldn’t mind paying for my own meal if it was good.
Yeah! Weddings scare people away because the pressure can be intimidating. I think most people just want to see their friends and family happy
Yup my bestie is getting married and we're paying for our own 🍽 it works better because everything is so expensive now, they still got to live and save for a new home.
What about people that have to travel and spend thousands of dollars on hotel, plane ticket. Plus don't forget the wedding gift.
@@cecilym8552 they aren't obligated to come nor spend money on a gift, it's the same as going to dinner anyways but why does the bride and groom always have to spend thousands of dollars to make everyone else happy, I personally think paying for the guest is great if you have it but asking them to pay for their own plates isn't a bad idea either and if I'm told in advance I'll be happy to still purchase a gift.
Nothing but respect to this couple! You don’t have to go in debt for a wedding! It’s about your love for one each other at the end of the day
I hear that, My brother spent over $40,000 And sad to say there divorced.
people actually go in debt for a wedding??!?!?
@@nyaradzochivandire5758 are you living under a rock?
@@jewelljoyner3723 oh my
Facts
Something makes a cheaper wedding more wholesome. Knowing its not for show, for praise or for materialistic pleasures but instead for authenticity and love. I hope my wedding is like this !
Just knowing even black and poor people can have weddings has renewed my faith in humainty. I'm a humanitarian and honestly believe that humans can change for the better
@@Zellaaaaaaaaaaa
??? „Even black and poor people“ ???
That phrasing is messed up…
The wedding looked gorgeous, that dress is absolutely STUNNING on her!! Who needs a huge budget when you have so much love and support! Id gladly pack sandwiches for myself and attend a wedding like this. Its frugal and I think its really smart. Weddings are ridiculously overpriced and you can't get a better venue than nature itself!! Most things you can actually rent like the chairs and even a tuxedo. I know of a place here in my state where they lend used prom dresses for $20 and you get your deposit back when you return the dress so its absolutely free. I bet if someone was clever and took enough time they could find ways of making an elaboriate wedding with minimal cost
Awesome! No one should feel pressured to spend exorbitant amounts of money on THEIR wedding day. You made an incredible financial decision, and the outcome was the same! Beautiful wedding, and a good looking MARRIED couple.
YESSSS NO ONE SHOULD EVER !!
Tbh this wedding looks better than most.
no one expects you to spend extreme amounts of money but not feeding the guest? or giving them something to drink is extreme. go to the courthouse!
😎😎😎😎😎😎👍
@@cosmictruth6333 yeah kind of agree with this lol
That’s so great! Who needs to start off a marriage on heavy debt or broke from marriage?! I applaud them! Way to go guys!
Facts...notice the bride and groom were both happy. The wedding and reception looked like a good time so they are winning
You said it best!!!
Truth...my friend spent 10 grand..it last 7 yrs... to each his own🙂
@@rubylimey7614 7 years is a long time.
Nothing but family, friends, and love. Realistically that’s all you need and it still looked fun, congrats to the couple!
She looked beautiful in her dress. This was such a great story in this day and age. Congratulations and God bless to the couple. May they have a long happy union.
The dress looks so regal that if you did not know, you might think it was much more expensive. Their setup looked very beautiful also.
Massive props to them. Far too many young couples have been conned into starting their married lives in massive debt. They have their priorities in order and are a really cute couple together. Wishing them the absolute best.
Yess.
I wore a dress I already owned, did my hair and makeup, and we went to the courthouse. We took our own pictures at the gazebo in front of the courthouse (we do photography on the side) with parents.
We just use those silicone rings that are more comfortable.
We plan on doing a vow renewal years from now when we are better off financially and after my student loans are paid off. I love to event plan and decorate so that’s partly why 😊
I don’t know about con. A lot of girls
Dream of a wedding. It is one of the biggest days of your life . Pretty cool they did save . But my wife had always wanted a nice wedding. Who am I to rob her of one of her dreams
@@teebo5298 Yeah probably a better word to use, but couldn't think of one.
And if you can afford it, go for it. If you're going into debt, that is a horrible idea.
@@teebo5298 if that’s the case then I hope she paid for most or all of it
Yes it's crazy! Regular people take inspiration from TV and social media - celebrity and socialite weddings. And then the next couple in the friend group think they need to keep up... Not like the debt will strengthen the relationship.
I love how they focused on the people and not the extravagance of having a wedding
I could have Jewed down the price.
We did the opposite! The hell with the people! Lol. We had an inexpensive destination wedding just for him and I! And till this day we have no regrets. It was our day and it was beautiful. We did what we wanted and what was right for us. Like Frank Sinatra….”We did it our way” 😂
They focused on the opposite, the cheapness of it all.
This was like my wedding! We rented a lighthouse for $300, bought custom dresses on Etsy for $200, and had a nice dinner at our favorite restaurant with family. All-in-all, with the overnight hotel and everything, we spent less than $1k and it was the happiest, most perfect day ever! Truly memorable AND affordable!
This is the way it should be, not have some fancy expensive wedding. I was just reading a story about a father who spent $200k on his daughters wedding that ended in divorce in a very short time. There is no reason to go into debt for the rest of your life just to enjoy one single day of it.
He'll never get that money back. And went into debt and probably most of his entire lifes savings for something that was probably gonna be just a few one night stands. Shit shit shit. Cancun, Dominican Republic or the Caribbean is a good investment to have wedding or honey moon. You don't spend a whole $h!+ ton. No need for a 100k miami wedding or vegas wedding.
@@albertsantos9966 exactly, I am divorced and all that was spent was wasted. If I ever decide to get married again it will be cheap, does not matter how much money I have. My daughters will have a nice wedding but not an extravagent expensive one.
let people spend whatever amount of money they want, it’s there wedding not yours lol.
@@mikeytowsyou simp?
@@mikeytowsyou .....you're missing the point!!! People are going to spent what they want, just don't go into debt to do so for one day....go back to bed!!!!
I love his maturity and energy, she's awesome and looked so beautiful on that special day
My wife and I decided to just get married through the courts and we’ve been married for 15 years and counting. I’ve had friends that had these 20-30k wedding and their marriages didn’t last more then 4 years. My point is that it doesn’t matter how much you spend, it’s knowing and trusting each other is what truly matters.
I was a groomsman in my buddy's wedding. They spent like 80k +. She left him less than a year....
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Best way to do it! I got my dress at Target for $12 in the clearance section, his mom made us some delicious mole and we got a $20 cake from the local bakery. Going 12 years strong.
@@isar6416 crazy. Only other wedding I was in was my best friend growing up who's also a Rosales lmao. They're still married. Instead of paying for an extravagant wedding, they rented a house on the beach for a week. Had everyone stay there. Married on the beach.
Same my wife and I got married back in 2004 just a courthouse wedding and we had a little barbecue afterwards. Almost 18 years later here we are happy as ever. Save your money folks!
It's not the money you spend on a wedding that makes it special, it's the vows you make. I'm glad people getting it right! Congratulations on getting married :D
This is admirable! I think people are waking up and realizing that you don’t need to spend a ridiculous amount (or even go into debt) to have a nice wedding. Props to them!
Hats off to this couple. I had a courthouse wedding and dinner at Olive Gardens for me, my spouse, my brother, nephew and mom. 15 yrs later and we are still married. It's not the wedding that's going to last, it's the marriage that should last. Oftentimes the focus isn't where it should be, no wonder more than 1/2 the marriages in the U.S end in divorce. My choice to get married in a courthouse was because it was more important for me to buy our first home vs go in debt.
Amen
My husband and I did the same. The money that could have went to our wedding went towards buying a house and we eloped. It was the best thing we ever did.
This still looks sooo cute and they’re such a good looking couple ✨
This is pretty cool. Good luck to both. She's a keeper.
She’s a keeper even if she wanted a bigger wedding
They are ALWAYS a "keeper" when the man can't measure up to what a real man can do. 😆
@@ladyelevator5693 Sheeeesh 😬 I agree. But if I must add, some men are in places where they can’t afford to get to their goals. In the meantime, they wanna keep their spouse happy by any means and do what they can (some, not all). My man said I was a keeper and married me 5 years ago. Didn’t have much. We literally ate on the floor, but this man made me so happy. Fast forward a few years later, he landed a job dealing with computer science/cybersecurity with no degree (self taught, and he was amazing) and now he gives me the world even when I deem it unnecessary. Some men are lazy and just want women to be okay with their cheapness. Some genuinely want the best for their woman and to give them the world and are trying to get up to a higher level to do so.😊
@@alexf9447 Good for you!
People with low standards usually are, they are low effort , low expectations you don’t have to give much.
People usually don’t talk about how cheap they’re spending with their weddings and it’s refreshing to see someone not lying try to impress others. I hope I can do the same when I get married soon.
I don’t understand why people feel the need to go into debt to get married anyway. This was looked like a very beautiful wedding and everybody seemed to really enjoy it. I pray that they have a long happy and prosperous marriage.
Because it was televised and push by celebrities same thing as it came for diamonds it was the rave and hype on tv and movies when really diamonds have no value lol you can buy a diamond for 3 grand and return will be 500$ and that’s mostly for the metal of the ring lol
Americans and western world huge propaganda
Anywhere else in the world everyone know even venue do not charge you an arm or leg cause marriage is meant to help and support newly wed couple in their future together
It is usually the bride (99.999999%) 👀
@@1delta_10tangos usually it's the in laws and parents💀
$47??? No way! She looked stunning! They both did 💕 it's about the marriage and life after not the wedding day itself. Wishing them all the best for the future ❤️😊
Wow, her wedding dress is gorgeous!! Congrats to the beautiful couple. 💐
How refreshing! She looked beautiful! Materials are materials and love is love! Nobody can take their moment away! 💙 This says a lot about them and they have a bright future ahead!
Best wishes to these 2, their family and friends!
Her $47 dress could compare to the designer dresses out here for thousands of dollars. It’s not the dress but the bride who makes the dress. Gorgeous couple!! I pray their marriage be a success in Jesus name!! 🙏🏾💕🎊🎉🍾🥳
SHEIN is doing wonders.
Lol ok let’s not get delusional
@@chunli9199 but it can though her dress actually looks. Like a wedding dress don’t be a hater
@@chunli9199 its all about the energy
AMEN
This is so effing refreshing. Weddings in CA can cost anywhere from $20k - $60k+. Social media be pressuring people to have some perfect day, which is not only wasteful but unwise.
Couples: a beautiful day is nice, but a meaningful marriage is even better.
Wedding goals right here. Love how everyone was so supportive and cool about paying for their own food and drinks. 💞💞💞
My family was the same! I even got a free dinner from the restaurant because they screwed up the order. A very lovely wedding gift!
Lol we should get married then 😅.. glad some women understand...for the longest men have had to buy these 10 thousand dollar rings and stuff too...it's like it's not actually about the love anymore it's about how much you spend on your loved one and showing off to friends and family
@@m0L3ify That's freaking awesome
@@nonamesinenomine I worked with a dentist who was planning to spend 50 THOUSAND dollars on his wedding. Like really, but of course he was a show off. 🙄
@@nonamesinenomine being married and divorced, in my opinion If she really loves you she'll be happy with a 25c machine ring and a courthouse wedding. As long as the honeymoon is Fire and she loves and feels confident in her dress or pants . If she isn't then I'd think hard on marrying your person...people lose Jobs markets crash etc. She should be down for everything For richer for poorer from the gate. I want a nice floral wedding but If I love my dress and honeymoon I'll be happy, the rest is just extra.
Such a beautiful ceremony, she was beautiful in that $47 dress. I love how the family helped pay for “their seat at the wedding.” That’s when you know they’re here for you.
Exactly! 😊
If I ever get married, I would want something like this. Simple and Beautiful💗Congratulations to both of them 💗
Me too enough is enough of spending Large some money for a wedding day it takes a fool to learn that
Good thing is she can always wear her wedding dress again! People spend so much on a dress only to wear it once 🤦🏼♀️
Same!
Lol, Just go to your local courthouse and you can get married for about $70.
I fully support a frugal wedding and not spend thousands of dollars on one day. The idea to get married at that highway location was genius and beautiful. She was stunning in her dress and the husband can wear the suit multiple times. HOWEVER in my personal opinion it's not frugal, but tacky to let your guests pay for food and drinks at a public location. If you want the party with food and drinks, then at least pay for that and invite your guests that flew to your wedding, took pto, bought outfits and booked a hotel and probably got you a gift. I really don't want to hate, but your wedding wasn't frugal or cheap, you just let your guests pay for that...
I just commented this exactly! Id have no problem cutting costs in any other area, but id make sure my guests were fed for sure!
Yeah, exactly. Beautiful dress, awesome location, universal suit for the groom, but... they had guests flew in for THEIR celebration of THEIR relationship and they didn't pay for the guest's drinks? LOL I wonder if say their sister or brother couldn't afford, would they want their sibling to miss that event?
I would assume that this was communicated to their guests before the wedding. Their family members chipped in and they knew the couple was trying to be frugal. Who cares really, it’s not your wedding.
I agree totally. Plus if they could afford a honeymoon abroad then they could have skipped that, gone local and fed their guests!
Only thing that matters is that they love eachother, are happy and that their loved ones are attending. The only reason why people spend crazy $$$ is because they feel the need to please others and make themselves appear rich.
Not always though, because it depends on the culture out side the United States marriage is a celebration of unite of families, parties are over 300-500 of families uncles aunts, so it really isn’t to appear rich, it more of the norm! However I agree there are people who over spend to show off, but the common person isn’t in my opinion
Ok. You’re generalizing.
I love this!! In a time where everyone is trying to "out do" everyone else and "excess" is flaunted, the simplicity of staying with in your means shows what love really looks like. I'm so glad they didn't succumb to the pressure of doing the most. I pray their love lasts a lifetime!!💚
Agreed 👍
Love it! It's about the marriage not the wedding. More people need to realize this. Kudos to you both!
Yes, say that! Spend time planning for a marriage not a one day wedding!
They both looked beautiful and it's a pleasure to see a couple who understand that a wedding is an affirmation of love, not an Instagram bragging day
This couple worked together as a team on a goal, they didn't have mommy or daddy to do this for them, just themselves; they share the same values: family and bond strength over stupid spending and flaunting senselessly. They are smart, and have wisdom going for them. God bless them and the many years they will have together
Amen to that brother.
Now this is a marriage that will last 🙌🏻🏆
Fr
Exactly that’s what makes it so beautiful they’re literally life partners I love to see it
Cringe
These two are the living example of - you do not have to spend a ton of money to be a class act. Blessing to them and their future together.
Im happy for them! ♥️ blessings to them
Sometimes people can be so judgmental of weddings all they do is criticize the decor and food and all that money couple’s spend to get all that bad energy!
May this couple continue to thrive ♥️💸
I would've paid for drinks at least
They both look stunning and didn’t have to spend their entire life savings just to prove they are in love.💜 I love this. Congratulations to them!!!
But they do need to tell the press and make sure the news channel turns up.
This is beautiful! Don't let the media & society fool you into thinking you have to pay tens of thousands of dollars to celebrate your love story!
Great job , you two are so smart and have such a refreshing perspective
They're both freaking gorgeous. Many blessings to this couple!!
This is awesome. Literally went to a wedding yesterday and the groom's mom mentioned them spending $30k between all of them... insane.
That’s how my husband & I did it, $2,000 including our rings. We had a beach wedding (on the Deerfield Beach Pier in Florida, near where we lived at the time). It was less than $100 for the location permit. That was 18 years ago, we’re still married & now have 7 kids. We still live happily frugally even with a large family & only one modest income until we recently started our Airbnb business. We’ve always travel with our kids, eat extremely health (90% organic amongst other high standards), not on government assistance (not to put anyone down who needs it), low debt (soon to be no debt). Own two homes & 2 vehicles. We simply believe that money isn’t everything & do our best with what we have. With proper planning & budgeting, & for me, faith in the most high, nothing is impossible in Jesus might name. We just don’t try to keep up with “The Jones” & do what we can afford & don’t care what anyone has to say about it. Lots of friends & family members had extremely large expensive weddings & some of them aren’t even together anymore.
I pray God blesses me with a wife with your mentality..💯
"The Jones" are broke for sure, not worth keeping up with.
I know that’s right.
Faithful steward. God will make you RULER over much.
Thank you for sharing, praise Jesus for showing you what really matters and blessing you with a beautiful family. Your testimony is beautiful and inspirational!!!
It's not how expensive the wedding is, it's who you have celebrating with you. Godspeed to this awesome couple.❤
I love this! My husband and I got married in Vegas for $700 + tax and money for wedding pictures. It was beautiful and live-streamed so our families could watch it. My dress was $100 and he wore something he already had in his closet. I agree with what someone said earlier, "It's about the marriage, not the wedding, " but to each their own.
Just goes to show that alot of people get married for the wrong reasons. That $15-30k most people spend on their weddings could've went towards a down payment on a house or their kids college tuition, but Go BIG or Go Home lol
😂😂 I paid thousands for my kids bdays. I could only wish for this.
They were more focused on their love than making an appearance for other people. Love it! True Love!
Man, this is BEAUTIFUL! ❤ I wish nothing but the BEST to this blessed couple!
God's blessings to you both! 🙏🏾
This is honestly so wholesome, mature and cute. Why would you spend money you don't have, or money you do have but will need for other things, just on a single day? It's insane. I know people who've got married already in debt.
The dept is a bitter burden to start a marriage with.. very negative..i think the couple we just saw did the absolute right thing from and for their hearts. 🕊🧡🕊
The word wholesome needs to go from the internet.
What a gorgeous couple! It’s not about the price of what you are wearing, it’s about how you feel while wearing it. This is a dream wedding because it was done with more love than more money. Congrats! 🎉 🥂 ♥️
These two are very smart to be so money conscious. I predict They will have a long wonderful life together. Bless them both.🥂
Who says you need to go all out to get married! All you need is love and a little support. I love it. Congratulations 🍾
I got married in 1995 with a budget of $1000. For 25 family members most of it was food and tables and chairs in the back yard of my sister-in-law’s house, my father-in-law drove us in a limousine he borrowed from his friend 😂 and I worked at the Marriott in world trade centers at the time and my boss give me the executive room for free for the weekend. We’re still together going strong, I wish them much happiness together ❤️
Ole saying the bigger the wedding the quicker the divorce.This is simplicity and the way it should be.❤️❤️❤️it
Never heard that saying before
Good one!
@@user-os6lg9dq5m I haven't either but if you do some research, it's true to some extent. A couple of studies show that the cost of the wedding increases or decreases the likelihood of divorce.
@@MrsNicolas my husband and I eloped. It lasted 34yrs til his unexpected passing
I know people who had big weddings and they have been married over 30 years. Also know people who had very simple weddings and ended up divorced.
My kinda wedding! That's the way you start and keep your marriage happy! Shared goals and a collective sense of responsibility... Kudos! Live long and prosper, y'all!
I did the same thing! I bought a $30 dress and $40 for husband's
shirt, slacks and tie. Married in courthouse. We were both in US NAVY. We knew we didn't want to spend or have $. A wedding is just a day...marriage is a lifetime. We will never regret not being foolish and we love each other more, every passing year! Good luck to future couples. Marriage is a 4 letter word=work. Nurture, communication and laughter are key!!!
She said they didn't hear the guest complaining about paying for food....yea they did it in their cars after they left 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Exactly
Couples split up during wedding planning because of too many differences that leads to arguments and fall outs… This couple wedding goes to show you that simplicity is the key.
So true. This materialistic, egoistical world we live in people don't want to hear this truth.. & that's on them
That’s awesome, it’s not about the materialistic stuff in life it’s about the people and the love around you not how expensive something is, this is beautiful
SMART couple!! With the money they saved on a "traditional" wedding, they can buy a home, afford college for their kids, buy a car, or whatever the hell they want.
They literally had my dream wedding. I would love nothing more than to marry somewhere secluded with a beautiful view.
It’s definitely not secluded, but that view is to die for. Salute to this couple. The way EVERYTHING has gone up and the INSANE housing market, what they did was genius.
CUTE AND SMART COUPLE!!!...They beat my low record of $800 on my wedding 23 years ago!...CONGRATS AND HAPPY MARRIAGE GUYS!!!
$800 23 years ago is like $1300 today
@@Yesshecancan or more 😊
@@Yesshecancan still a very cheap wedding
@@Yesshecancan better than 30k lmao
We got married at a state park for free. It was so pretty!
It’s definitely up to a couple how they want their wedding to be and what they want to spend. My sister’s wedding dress cost £1000 and that was before the flowers, food, venue costs etc. so I respect people who can work to a budget. If I get married, I’d want to save a decent amount of money in advance so that I could have the wedding I want but not get into debt. They’re happy and the marriage is more important than the wedding so it’s all good.
MY PRAYERS FOR YOU GUYS TO BE HAPPY FOREVER. YOU GUYS KNOW THE REAL VALUES
Remember everyone! The more money spent on a wedding the higher the probability of divorce!
This is what I thought about 20 years ago, about weddings, why people don't spend low amounts like that, well 20 years later, it finally came true!
10 years ago my husband and I had a wedding for $250. We had a smaller wedding at a venue we had to pay and lunch after. I noticed that the people that spends thousands of dollars don’t last.
I have so much respect for this couple.
Hell, my husband and I got married in jeans and tshirts, at the courthouse after only dating for 2 months. I was wearing some heels that my puppy had just chewed up that day. My mom actually made us stop by kmart on the way down to the courthouse to buy rings bc we weren't even going to do that. I actually still have the shirt I wore. (I can't fit into anymore bc, after 2 kids and almost 15 years, I have put on a little weight.) There is no need to spend all kinds of money on a huge wedding. I wouldn't recommend doing what I did but, something like what this young couple did is perfect. The venue was beautiful, her dress was gorgeous and his suit looked great!
That's soooo cute and a better story than so many others
I love how you remember the details of your ceremony 🥰 The expenses clearly do not make it more memorable or special.
It could just be a person with lower standards is less stressful to take advantage of for longer.
@@briana14333 Well it’s easy to remember very simple details almost like 2+2=4.
@@chunli9199 What are you talking about? I'm not sure who is taking advantage of who?
This is SO beautiful. This definitely proves that you don't have to have an expensive wedding, you just have to be a little creative.
I LOOOOVEEE how everyone was literally there to just SUPPORT them and show them love basically..🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I can’t wait to meet who God has in store for me
And they talk about it so relaxed and memorable. Sounds stress free 🙌 Blessings to them!!
I love that they set the example. It takes minimal to make a forever moment seem priceless 💜💜
I love this. My wedding dress was 35 dollars from Amazon and it was gorgeous 😍 a wedding isn’t about how much you spend.
This is so contradictory
@@chunli9199 ? Huh?
More men need to find a woman like this, too many caught up in the whole have to have a big wedding / spending thousands just to impress people who
could care less.
Ppl need to do what’s best for them period act your budget it’s that simple
I agree 👍🏽 I thought it was cool to that SHE didn't have a problem with a low budget wedding, and in fact was actually how she wanted to do it. Being that a weddings in this day and age make some women get go "bridezilla" and act a fool I'm glad she has a humble & meek spirit. More importantly used WISDOM! Even if you do have it to spend extravagantly why be wasteful?? Especially on the clothing and accessories when you're more than likely going to only use them once. WASTE NOT... WANT NOT. May the Lord keep and protect this Union! 💯❤️🙏🏽🗝️📖
Lol you are hilarious. I am a woman who wanted a court house wedding 💒 but my ex wanted a flashy thousands of dollars waste wedding 👎🏽🙄
@2WheeLFreedom Nah he's just a cheapskate dusty who convinced this naive woman to lower her standards. BM especially don't appreciate. He'll leave her for a woman who demands more. My father taught me well. Moreover, based upon my observations this is always true. Men only appreciate what they invest in.
Plenty of women are willing to marry on a budget most times it's the men using the excuse they have to wait until they have enough money.. my husband and I got married at the justice of peace and just had a big party at our home with friends and and family to celebrate our union.. plain and simple we been together for 20 years later..
Wow! I’m so impressed by this couple. They’re not embarrassed about it nor should they ever be. So proud to see people doing BIG things with LITTLE cost! Those memories and priceless anyways and I wish them a life full of love… enjoy the saved money and build a future now!
Smart couple! 🌷💕. The wedding dress is really nice too. 🙂
Very proud of you two. I wish you all the best and most of all success in your marriage!
Non traditional wedding costing only $500? Friends and family bought the flowers, the cake, their flights, their food, their drinks and their hotels. BS. They were broke and asked for handouts.
Love it! My husband and I did a small backyard wedding on his grandparents property! Everyone had a blast! And it didn’t put us into any debt!
THIS IS AWESOME! CONGRATULATIONS YOU TWO! 🙏🏾
THIS is what it’s about! Their bond, nobody else. I PRAY FOR THEIR UNION!!
Amen.
I believe the focus in a wedding should always be on the newlywed and their mutual love, not on expensive decorations and showcasing wealth.
Two smart, beautiful people who clearly love each other and have great families and friends. They did it right, and that sounds like an awesome wedding to me!
Great decision. Beautiful couple. Congratulations!! 🎊🍾
This is a great story. They didn't need to spend a lot of money to have a beautiful ceremony. The thing that is most valuable is the relationship and union that they created. God Bless!
This is the smartest, most romantic, most relaxed and spiritual wedding I've heard of. Congrats to the beautiful couple. May they prosper in love and peace.
I LOVE this couple. Very smart young people, they have a plan for their future and aren’t starting their life together in debt. Lovely.
No one should start their married life in debt from an extravagant wedding they can't afford. Congrats to this newlywed for being fiscally smart as they begin their life together.
