I had my wedding in Latvia, all in all it cost less than 5k - but for that we got
1) A small hotel for ourself and our guests in a nature reserve with stunning view - 20 rooms - we had about 40 guests.
2) Incredible food - and there wasn't any shortage you could eat as much as you want
3) A ballon ride of a close friend into the sunset over Latvians counry side (incredible)
4) A band - I wanted one were they all were piano ties hahaha
5) Alcohol as much as any body wanted
We had a lot of Latvian traditions tied in which was very nice - in latvia you have your best friend organise the wedding for you so we had to do sweet fuck all which was incredible lucky for us since we both life in Ireland.
We spend most of our money on a honeymoon in Africa - which was probably the best time I had with her (apart from our first test holiday in Egyp which I booked without telling her we were just 2 month together and I had a lot of money on the side because I saved for a year and got a big redundancy payment - I didn't tell her booked it and asked her the day before if she fancies to come to Egypt for a week - she had some trouble finding an apartment so she stayed in my apartment so I was only too happy to make her stay in my apartment - I had only a small bed because I wanted to save as much money as possible after I broke up with my ex so I sleept on the floor

- ah good times

.
Anyways Africa was amazing - we did so much stuff which really strenghtens our realtionship.
Here is something for you fellas that still look for a possible partner for life... You never ever know if the person you meet is the one and only one that you will stick with until the end of your life - part of the fun is to jump into the dark and take a chance, but there are certain things you can watch out for to make sure you guys are compatible - and I am (due to my past history as a child) a very untrusting person.
1) If after a short time you can see that both of you can talk without talking and thinking alike
2) If the other half makes you laugh - and I mean realy hard laugh, for excample my ex never ever made me laugh and I mean whole heartly laugh, my wife on the other hand sometimes says things and makes jokes that crack me up.
3) This sounds cheesy but Its true at least for my part - I would happily trade my life for her life and I 100% mean that.
