the other reason that the boat works well is because you have a finite amount of people you can invite. once you cross "the line" suddenly it trips like a domino effect of family and friends, suddenly you jump from 14 to 40, then creep to 50, then suddenly it's 100.

*BUT* Skogafoss is sad that we didn't go with the original plans of just 6 of us at Skogafoss Iceland in Feb. While I won't be able to get the other 4 people, I am trying to make the arrangements for our 5 year anniversary being in Skogafoss and staying in Hótel Búðir.

Just remember there's a point where you'll make some compromises, just make sure the compromises are ones you really want to compromise.

Married in Florida so we were married by a Notary Public, cost was just about $200.

Family members did the photographs with digital cameras. We do wish that we had a couple posed pictures sometimes, but more often the candid shots that were taken are quite special and we didn't have yet one more person following about as "workers."

Boat rental was almost $3,000 including tipping the staff.

We didn't buy flowers save the corsages, boutinere, and bouquet.

Centerpieces were floating rose wax candles in glass globes.

Main centerpiece were longstem white silk flowers (which now adorn our bedroom)

An arbor was rented was a couple hundred dollars for the weekend rental. It was picked up early and since Skogafoss' mother is a ceramic artist, she made ceramic roses for us and mounted them onto the arbor. We have them and are trying to figure out what kind of art to make it into.

Food was a local deli that made chicken parm and some pasta dish with salad,
Cake was also a local baker. $200+

Had I picked up the RIGHT black pants that matched the black jacket, then I would not have had to buy a new suit, buying a new suit I ended up buying the whole outfit down to the shoes for $800. Skogafoss bought her dress which was a bride's maid dress for $250 I think.

The key to all of the cheap prices was to stay away from the words BRIDAL and WEDDING. The moment you invoke those words the price of everything doubles

I have photos to share if you'd like to see them.
