Not Enough Time

Just like my title says.  I do NOT have enough time to pull this wedding thing off.  I don’t think I’m going to be able to even afford to get everything that we need.  I need to seriously sit down an budget out how much money we need to get everything done yet.  Okay… I’m going to make a list:

Reception Hall = $350
Food = $??? (Don’t know yet seein’ as how my mother hasn’t come back to me with any figures)
Cake = approximately $200

My dress = $400
Hannah’s dress (because her mom paid me for it but I didn’t pay for the dress yet) = $70
Accessories = approximately $50
Jacob’s Tux = approximately $60

Photographer = $850 left to pay
Videographer = $350 due 7 days before Wedding the rest due when video is ready

Wedding Rings = $1000

Gifts for wedding party = at least $160

For a grand total of $3460.

The checks that I can put towards the wedding will have a combined total of 32 days, 8 hours per day, $17.50 per hour for a grand total of $4480 before taxes.  After taxes, to play it safe I would say that I will have $3500.  So I guess maybe we will be able to pull it off considering that total doesn’t include Jacob’s income.  Okay… I’m breathing a little better now.  I really hope I calculated that right.

This isn’t including 3 more round trip tickets to Nebraska.  One in May for me for my fitting of my dress and graduation, and of course 2 more at the end of June for the wedding.  I don’t know how the hell I am going to pull this one off.  Please pray for me.  LOL

Luckily I did find the stuff that I need to make the bouquets and boutteniers for the wedding party.  So I’ve been working on that all weekend.  I’ll take pictures when I have one done and post.

Alright… gotta go pick up Jacob from work.

Laters,
