They've told friends about it, posted the time and place of the ceremony on her facebook site, etc., but they haven't invited anyone. Or, to put it another way, anybody who wants to is welcome to come. After the church, they're heading back to our farm, where they plan to have a potluck reception. People are asked not to bring any presents, and not to expect any "wedding favours". Weather permitting, they plan to have a bonfire that evening. And since we have lots of room, people are welcome to bring tents and stay overnight. A big party, but not formal at all. No speeches. Specifically no speeches. Just getting together with friends who love them. She's bought a wedding dress already. It's a nice dress, but it's one she could wear on other occasions, i.e. not an obvious wedding dress.

My brother just got engaged and oh my goodness is he SO NOT going to have a cheap wedding. So far the ring will be over $1k, as will be the dress, so within days of getting engaged they have already spent more than HALF of what we spent on our entire wedding. Ha!

Sounds like fun. Maybe you could be a little more health concious and get one of those huge Subway sandwiches. Haha. Sounds like fun.

People tend to not think out of the box and just pay through the nose for everything, which leads to ridiculous amounts of money. The only thing you need for a lovely wedding, that fits your style, is the insurance of an active imagination and creativity.

I think their relative scarcity round these parts may drive up your budget. But hey, I think we spent about $400 and even got a meal at a nicer - yes nicer! - place than McDonalds :) Can you even get white jeans any more?
