My name is Tracy. I am 24 years old. I look like Taylor Swift. I am getting married to a man in the spring. I am planning a wedding in the spring. I would like to save money planning this wedding. I like to eat out with my friends. My friend Verna Jean passed away. Her heart failed while exercising. I workout a few days a week. I do weights and cardio. I use a Fitbit.
I love cheeseburgers. I love watching war documentaries. I am a retired gym teacher. I am not married. I would like to get married someday. I like to volunteer at soup kitchens. I grew up poor. I like cardio and sports. I have a generic fitbit. I am thrifty. I like cheese burgers and cakes.
I managed to find a reasonably priced venue for the wedding. Thats awesome. Where is it at? It's only about 45 minutes from where we live, and it's got beautiful gardens and a large converted barn for the reception. I'm so excited!! I should start thinking about sending out invites soon. Have you been to any weddings over the past couple of years? Oh yes. I fall into that old saying Always a bridesmaid, never a bride. LOL. My favorite one I was in was in a venue like yours. It was the least expensive one as well I helped the bride do alot of DIY with decorations and flowers.  I am sure you'll be the bride one day (if you want to be, that is!). Often the least expensive weddings feel a lot more personal don't they, as there's a bit of DIY going on. That's amazing you were able to help with the decorations and flowers, I need to start thinking about those too! One day ( knocks on wood).  I concur completely, they feel more like a real family celebration than a big event. With doing a bit of DIY with decorations, flowers and little wedding favours. I believe they saved around 1500$.   Wow that's quite a saving, that's great. What did they have for favours, out of interest? I keep changing my mind about what I want!  Since it was in a converted barn for the reception they kept with a chic western theme had plastic little pails filled with M&Ms in the wedding colours and a ribbon tied on it that simple said their names and date.   That's adorable! So simple and yet both delicious and personalised. I do think something edible is a very good idea, thank you! I remember you saying you love cheeseburgers; would you want them to be part of your wedding catering? You are welcome. Well because Im very thrifty, I would probably hire a mobile BBQ to do the main catering. That way they cook right there and there wont be any wasted food and it will be hot and fresh.  That's a great idea. Hot fresh food off the BBQ is making me hungry even just thinking about it. You sound like you could go into wedding planning - have you ever considered it? No I never thought it of it really. Im just happy to help. If you need me Im at your disposal.
