No rings and no tattoos for me. My wife wears a ring of course. I told her before we got married that I wasn’t going to wear a ring. She tried to get me to wear a silicone ring when they came out and got popular but I said no. I hate rings, bracelets, and necklaces. Doing what I do for a living it would be pointless to wear one since I would need to take it off all the time.
I cooked and sliced all the meat for our wedding. We made the table centerpieces ourselves and had cheap throw away plastic table cloths. Borrowed decorations from my wife’s aunt and the whole family did the decorating. Family friend made sheet cake for everyone to eat. Wedding reception was come and go as you please and walk through a buffet style line for the little food we had. Another one of her aunts did our pictures so the only cost there was developing pictures. The reception was held at our local church in a big gym but was decorated really nice and the space was free. Our total cost for everything was maybe $1500-$2k. Still going strong 15 years later. I was 32 at the time and she was 27.
