Nicole & Dan were high school friends. Life went on in separate ways for both, but then several years after graduation, their lives have come together once again. This time, their friendship was rekindled with a touch of romance. As fate would have it (they promised if neither of them were married by age 30, they would marry each other), the two will seal their vows on May 24th, 2008. Dan & Nicole are big on making the event special without breaking the bank. Here are a few of the ways they are saving money:
- Nicole designed her invitations.
- Instead of hiring a professional florist, Nicole & her bridesmaids are having a bouquet party the day before the wedding. They'll get to spend time together while making their own bouquets.
- Dan's mother, a talented hobby photographer, took their engagement photos. Free!
- Decorations are minimal. They are getting married at the beautiful Tyrrell Park Botanical Garden. Nature is their stage.
- Guest list is around 25... just close friends & family
- Reception will be an intimate dinner at Bistro Lemonde
- Planned wedding on a $2500ish budget
