Make a List of the items you need .Ask family and friends to contribute if possible .Keep your attire simple.Borrow a dress if you can!You only have to mention the word wedding and everyone comes running.Pick wild flowers,for the wedding,use a ring you already have in your possession,book a local church ,keep your guest list as short as possible,accept help from others but keep control of the situation.Could you have an outdoor wedding ,that would be heavenly and you would only have to book the priest.Because money is short, keep the food simple, could you collect food for free,i.e.Wild food!Do you have your own garden /orchard/to grow your own.Honeymoon is this essential to you?Could you enlist a planner?

Knock out a few things that you may not need. For example, when my husband and I got married a year ago we decided to create our own wedding invitations - it was simple, easy and inexpensive. We also decided we didn't need a limo since the church and reception hall were joined. And, because my husband is a pastry chef - he wanted to make our wedding cake. All those things really helped in making our wedding a little bit less pricey -- but I will tell you that no matter how much money you have to spend, it will be a costly affair because everything surrounding weddings is $$$! It's almost unavoidable.

when you say "no money" does that mean zero. or very limited? The town justice of the peace can do the job for a very small fee...25 to 150 bucks, depending on where you live. For a little more money, you can have a justice or a church representative come to your house to peform the cerimony and then you can have a small party with just closest familiy and best freinds. I think those elaborate fairly tale weddings are a huge waste of money...the money spent on something like that could go towards a house or a college fund for the wee ones....best of luck to you.

go to davids bridal and snag a $99 dress if possible .I got a beautiful dress there. BORROW BORROW BORROW from family members or friends who have been married and have all kinds of decor and dresses. My bridesmaid dressed were even borrowed but I have to say they were absolutley gorgeous. Only buy the things you want for keepsake like guest book maybe your toasting glasses. Our wedding rings were from walmart they were relatively cheap bout $200 for both and everyone has envied our rings and cant believe they came from there. Good luck!

Do a family-only ceremony. That way those closest to you are involved, but the expense is much smaller.
For a reception, have a dinner (or lunch or brunch) at a nice restaurant. Since they're family, asking them to pay their own way shouldn't be too hard to do.
It's a celebration, but don't feel you've got to get tripped up in the (expensive) details.

A lovely gathering of both your families and maybe a few very close friends. Then just have a light aftrenoon tea in the church hall. Ask family members to help with catering, l'm sure they wouldn't mind.
Wishing you and your man a wonderful life together.
God Bless

Just do it simple, invite a couple of friends, and your family. Have the minster or priest perform the ceremony in your home. (Some will do it for free, others will charge a nominal fee). I would suggest you do pre-marriage counseling with your clergy before you tie the knot.

DON'T TELL ANYBODY!! Seriously, set it up, finalize everything, then tell everyone. Keep it basic and make it what the two of you want it to be. If you tell people before the planning is finalized, they'll get involved and try to make you do things on a grander scale. They mean well, but let me tell you-it gets out of hand very quickly.

You can have a simple wedding at home or in a villa of one of your relatives.
