Flowers, traditionally paid for by the groom's family, arc often extremely expensive. The price of flowers is greatly lessened if flowers are chosen. A flower shop can get any kind of flowers any time of the year, but some will be cheaper in one month than in another. Also, some flowers are less expensive than others year 'round. A daisy bouquet, for instance, will not cost nearly as much as a bouquet of lilies. Many couples insist on bouquets of roses, but the cost can be greatly reduced if filler flowers, such as lilacs, arc implemented. A good photographer to document the special day is a require month.

However, photography costs can go through the roof. If a family member or friend of the couple takes pictures for a hobby, it would be wise to recruit this person for the wedding. Another way to document the reception inexpensively is to leave disposable cameras on each table along with a note asking everyone who sits at that table to have a picture taken of them. This could make for some memorable picture books. Most bride magazines give numerous suggestions for saving money (although the magazines can become pretty costly themselves). It is very possible to save plenty of money at a wedding, but it takes some planning. Just remember that (hopefully) a wedding only happens once in a lifetime. It is meant to be a huge party in your honor. Try to enjoy it without thinking about the money spent because after the wedding, you will only want to remember how much fun it really was. continued from page B4 course, she claims that she was laughing because she was so happy. Still, I've always felt a little disappointed I didn't get to pull out the tissues. Honeymooning Right I'll come right out with this last one. Forget the honeymoon to Europe.

Like not wanting to go out. But let's not get into that. Just take my word for it. You will be much better off going to Midway. Really. Midway is a wonderful place. They have a golf course. And don't forget Swiss Days. Of course, it also helps to have an aunt who offers you her condo in Midway free of charge for a week. I have to admit, this love "bug" that seems to go around every spring is a lot of fun, as long as you recognize the warning signs and prepare yourself for the consequences.
