One of the biggest events you will ever have in your honor is your wedding day. This is the party where often no expense is spared and no detail left untouched by those planning it. You want your day to be perfect, a day to remember through all time. You begin looking at bridal magazines, websites, and talking with friends. You're dreams are big. You may see doves flying over the ocean as you have you first kiss as a married couple. You may see a string quartet playing into the night at your candle-lit reception as roast beef is being freshly carved by the suited catering team. Maybe you see 12 attendants lined up next to you and your future spouse complete with junior bride's maids and junior groom's men, ring bearer, and flower girl.

As you flip through magazine pages and surf the web for everything you want for your wedding to be perfect. You see gift boxes, perosnalized favors, decorations beyond your wildest dreams, and you want it all, but you are on a budget. So what is really necissary?

There are only a few things that are musts for a wedding to take place. You must have

a couple looking to be joined together in marriage
a marriage license
a token of the commitment (typically rings)
someone licensed to perform the ceremony. Some states require that you have two witnesses to the union, but many have done away with this.

TIP: Think about what things you actually remember seeing at the weddings you have been to. Was it the cake, the little kissing bells, the flowers? If you don't remember it from other's weddings, they probably won't remember it from yours and it may be an expense you can save yourself from having.
