My niece-in-law (is that a real term?) is an event planner. She has amazing skills at creating perfect settings and scenarios for parties and events of various types. When she married my nephew, everyone kind of gulped, wondering how over the top the wedding would be, and how extravagant. We needn’t have worried.
She was amazing. The wedding and reception for a couple hundred people were held on the apple orchard farm of the groom’s parents, staged to perfection with things she gathered from various friends and family. Food was prepared on the barbecue by her father, and in the kitchen by the collective Aunts and Sisters of the couple. The wedding photographer did an amazing job, taking excellent pictures of the event. It was one of the nicest weddings I’ve ever attended, all achieved through hard work and minimal money, a hallmark of this lovely girl. She and my nephew now have two beautiful children, and everyone in the family is very proud of them, and what they’ve achieved. Not every wedding has to break the bank.
