The early morning ceremony was just perfect and the reception was a lot of fun. And of course Christi looked amazing -- that girl found an amazing dress for the price. <br /><br />They really did concentrate on the important things. It felt real and special and intimate -- the opposite of weddings I've been to that cost 5+ times more than theirs. It was the best wedding I've ever.

Not only does asking for help keep things within a reasonable budget, and not only does it make the elements of a wedding more meaningful to the couple getting married, but it's also more meaningful to your guests who have participated. Thank you for yet another inspiring - and practical - wedding! I love this!

And it's true! When I think about my grandparents' weddings they didn't hire vendors for every single thing. Back in the "old" days most weddings were more like Christi and Trevors'- everyone helped out. I think that element of community is missing when everything is provided by vendors. My best friend got married in May and the only DIY project was their favors (which only the bride and groom worked on). On the wedding day I felt like merely a spectator- I didn't feel included in it. And I was the MOH! I love your statement that vendors aren’t truly traditional. And it’s true!

I know the weddings I've been involved with have much more fabulous memories when there have been a lot of DIY projects. It is so much fun to spend that quality time with loved ones rather than vendors! This is so great!

I love that thought that the real traditions surrounding weddings are about friends, family, community, not objects and acts. Great post. Gorgeous, in every way.
