Hi Kiara. I had a $1000 wedding. My husband and I got married in a beautiful downtown event space where they performed pop up weddings. I wore a $99 bridesmaid dress from David’s bridal with a silk bouquet. My husband wore a navy jacket, tan slacks and a blue and white striped shirt we found on the clearance rack at K&G. He looked like a naval officer. Our immediate family attended the ceremony and met us back at my grandmothers house where we ate takeout from our favorite seafood restaurant on her “good china”. Our cake was a delicious carrot cake with buttercream flowers from the neighborhood bakery. Please consider doing a regular series featuring other frugal couples on your channel. Thank you.

[@KIARABRK]

Yasss!!! Love this! Thanks for sharing. We need to normalize weddings like this more!

[@beautifulgirl1375]

@Digital Hobo How lovely. Thank you.

[@Blessed-jz7fh]

I love the description of your weddings , All about❤❤🎉

[@mackulette]

THIS is how it's done! So many people focus on the wedding and neglect the marriage. We spent $0 on our wedding 18 years ago. That's because the church body all came together and pitched in. It was a beautiful wedding, but not as beautiful as you guy's wedding. More power, blessings to you both!

[@KIARABRK]

I love this! I love when ppl support the couple instead of looking to be entertained! Congrats on 18 years. WOW!!!👏🏾

[@jeanevejames5844]

[@Blessed-jz7fh]

That's absolutely beautiful 18 years marriage, take care of each other put each other first❤

[@dancingoctopus9888]

Thank you for actually talking about a cheap wedding. I swear most of the videos on budget weddings are like “well our parents gave us x,y, and z. Look how cheap this was!” Like, no ma’am, that aint a cheap wedding. Thats just you not spending for what you got.

[@sugar2626]

We got my engagement ring from the kohls clearance section! You can’t beat the clearance bin on a beautiful, unique engagement ring! Don’t go into debt for a ring!

[@KIARABRK]

Yes! I agree!!! We got My upgraded ring on sale!!! 🙌🏾

[@sugar2626]

Ya he was so worried because his sister was saying huge amounts and I told him about clearance rings and took him shopping and he got so excited at all the options. He saw nice expensive rings at a great discounted price. Made me love it more haha

[@KIARABRK]

@@sugar2626 yassss 🙌🏾 Clearance has some nice rings!!!!

[@kneshiaavery2019]

It's really nice to see you not go into debt starting your relationship. This was beautiful and well done.

I am 75 marrying a childhood sweetheart. We aren't planning on spending much. I don't want it. Something special but no stress or financial burdens left.

[@racheldodsworth7902]

Aww, how sweet! How did you end up together after so many years?

[@thelastdemonhunter5133]

Your wedding was definitely gorgeous and no one would know that you spent only $500 on this wedding if you didn't make this video ! So thank you so much !!!❤❤❤

[@Kaliposwife]

So nice to see young people get married and not break the bank for the wedding ceremony. You both did an awesome job creating wonderful memories for you and your loved ones on your special day. Your ring is beautiful and your husband’s ring is nice too. I bought my husbands ring from JC Penney’s 😊

[@KIARABRK]

Thank you so much! & JC penny’s has the DEALS!

[@amalabdallah8481]

The smartest way to go. It's a few hours event, and a shame to spend thousands of dollars to please majority of quests that are not friends or close relatives of the bride and groom. It's a life time marriage not a life time wedding. I am proud of the couple that go this route.

How do you find these dresses? I’m looking through Shein and nothing nice is popping up for me.

[@sheenak4591]

I'm waiting on my 2nd Amazon dress now😅 I like the hassle free returns! Definitely considered Fashion Nova but they only do store credit. I'm having my daughter check shein for her dress!

Exactly! We're getting married in November at a campground. We're doing it budget friendly. Ignoring any criticism from the fancy folks, we are very happy with how our wedding is coming along.

[@RetooldByJasmyn]

I’m totally convinced now!!!!!!!!! When I was in my early twenties up until I was close to 30, I had been in 2 relationships both lasting 4 years and I dreamed of a luxury wedding…….those ended and the more years that have gone by, I literally have been searching for smaller wedding options and ideas!!

Hi, I was not going to comment because I'm listening at work😳but I stopped processing cause you are correct, you do NOT come into someone's house and not speak🤣🤭my daughter is getting married in September, she's having an intimate ceremony with parents (3), grandparents, siblings (4), nieces and nephews (10) but the reception will be around 100 close friends and family so just getting ideas, this will be the second daughter I've had to marry, one more to go and I'm done🤭, their styles are so different but this one will be much easy and relaxed, $5000 is my budget, the venue is $2600 but she says that's too much for a few hours and thinking of a home reception (we have the space) thanks for all you shared 💞
