BRONZE BUDGET BRIDE

Are you looking for traditional wedding rings to exchange on your wedding day? I personally love the more traditional bands although I must admit that I choose a more modern ring because it just fit perfectly together with my engagement ring similar to these two:



However, I would love to exchange traditional rings when we renew our views in 2011 and the two below are perfectly priced at $160.

I just wanted to add another update on what's up for bid online at Shopgoodwill.com for all the budget brides who are interested in buying a designer gown under $35.00. Above are pics of some of the dresses you can bid on this week and among the mix is an Oleg Cassini gown. Bids were as little as $3.00 when I checked today, so if you want to get in on the bids, click here to go there now to check out the selection for yourself.

I think this dress is just perfect to change into to party in after the cake cutting is done at the reception. I keep imagining it full lenght and in my mind it will be just as stunning. So I'm going to see if I can find a similar one online because for some reason everytime I see it love it more. The only thing about it I'm not so crazy about is the detailing at the empire waist. I'd prefer to see rhinestones instead but still love it!

According to this article at cornwallfreenews.com, Chef Shawn Kretz recently wed and catered his own wedding. So what did he serve to his wedding guests?

*Bison Ribs (that was slow cooked days before)
*Grilled Corn on the Cob
*Potato Salad
*Caesar Salad
*Shrimp and Corn Salad
*Coleslaw
*Shrimp and Corn Salad
*Broccoli-flower Cheddar and Bacon Salad
*Multi-grain Salad
*Greek Village Salad.

Cheese and veggie platters were also made available to the guests earlier in the day (probably at the cocktail hour) and the couple provided dessert trays for the cake eating portion of the reception. So now, looking at what this chef served to his wedding guests, don't you feel less pressured to go out and buy gourmet items to create an equally tasty meal.

Chef Kretz also added that, "Overall the meal was easy to execute because most was prepared the day before. We enjoyed serving our guests in a buffet style line, this allowed us to also greet everyone we may not have had the chance to see otherwise."

So now you see it's really okay to just serve up simple but delicious food at your reception and your guest would enjoy it!



Congratulations Chef Kretz!
