My classmate, Dr. Kramp, completes his speech. We say "I do" and exchange rings, then seal it with a kiss. Saginaw River, May Twelfth, Twenty-Eighteen.
Guests included siblings, parents, and any close-by aunts or uncles that wanted to make the drive. She did not change her name, due to professional networking already completed. No wedding party was needed, as we can stand for ourselves. We also didn't want to have to rank our "best" friends. Plus most of our friends are several states away in the middle of starting their careers as well.
Planned and executed in 4 days. Total cost: $70.
$30 for her Enso Wedding ring, $20 for my Enso wedding ring, $20 for marriage license.
The rings are actually our engagement rings, so we didn't even have to buy those for this ceremony.
All clothes were what we already had in our wardrobe.
Recorded with old digital camera I dug up from the basement (otherwise known as a potato). Lunch afterwards with parents and siblings at Bob Evans restaurant in Saginaw.
We plan on a big extended family party maybe in a few years, once we have our careers solidified and have reached our financial goals.
**Anyone thinking of not doing the traditional expensive wedding**
We are glad we did not. Its not worth the hassle. This did not strain us, or our families finances. The money we saved has gone to living expenses and retirement accounts.
