The most “thrifty” marriage in the world? Definitely what he organized Shelley Watson, a mother ofArizona for his daughter Ashley, on a budget of $ 1,000.
Shelley has always been a great saver and certainly could not deny herself on this occasion, as reported by the Mirror.
First you need to find a low-cost location to celebrate the wedding, and what better place to get married than the gym of the local school, where some of Shelley’s friends also work who willingly lend a hand for free? Ashley is thrilled, but not Colby’s mother, the groom, who thinks it’s all a damn joke.
But Shelley continues undaunted in her organization. Now it’s a matter of choosing the flowers. It is known that the bride has the right to have a beautiful bouquet and even some flowers to adorn the place of the ceremony. But flowers cost a lot, so Shelley decides not to go to a florist but to a warehouse that sells flowers out of season. What does it matter if Ashley and Colby get married with unconventional flowers? It is essential to contain expenses and in fact Shelley buys a beautiful package of poinsettias for less than 10 dollars.
The time comes for choosing the wedding cake. In the bakery they require $ 400 and Shelley, stunned by the high cost, makes the heroic decision: she will make the wedding cake and get a special cake stand from the baker.
The most important purchase of a wedding, however, is always the wedding dress and Ashley, like all girls, dreams of choosing it in a large boutique. Shelley, on the other hand, already knows where to go: to the Pawnshop. Ashley is not very convinced, but after trying three of them she finally finds the dress that suits her: it fits perfectly even if it has only a few stains … of rat pee. Also in this case Shelley did not lose heart, the dress can be washed, negotiated on the price with the saleswoman and thus manages to buy it for only 75 dollars.
We finally arrive at the day of the ceremony. There are more friends than expected, but everyone has brought something to eat and they are all happy.
When Ashley arrives to meet her groom, she learns the real big secret of her marriage. Shelley, her mother, is a minister of worship and she will celebrate the wedding. A great thrill for everyone and above all a great saving of at least 300 dollars!
