ATTIRE |

I already have the dress ($50), the veil ($10) so I just need shoes |

Actual |
|
BRIDE'S BOUQUET |
20.00 |
I was going to make something out of wire and sparkly
crystals (I know that sounds horrible but it was really pretty when I saw it
in the store) or I could carry a single flower (carnation?) |

Jeremy, do you think you could play something during the

PHOTOGRAPHER'S FEE |

Must have professional photos. I feel very strongly

I already bought some invitations on clearance at a craft

GUEST SHUTTLE/PARKING |
300.00 |
The reception will be at the Golf Club, which is very
hard to find and is located in a part of Detroit that most people will be
unfamiliar with. If I don't spring for a shuttle, I'll loose relatives . I
can't afford a shuttle bus, but school buses cost less. |
GIFTS FOR ATTENDANTS |
My gratitude. Price? $0 |

Maybe I could make something? |
