The $35K Wedding

The Details

After connecting on match.com, Fallon and Bill met for a drink in April 2009. Although she was initially skeptical about online dating, the pair hit it off instantly. An in-person meeting for a quick drink turned into a five-hour conversation that ended only because the bar closed. By October, Bill was spreading a blanket for a picnic, uncorking a bottle of wine, reciting a love letter he crafted, and asking Fallon to marry him. “It just felt right,” she says.
Fallon chose to return to her hometown of Duxbury, Massachusetts, to tie the knot. An ocean-side estate across the street from Fallon’s childhood home was the perfect setting to celebrate the couple’s love of the outdoors amidst their favorite colors of green and blue

This 150-person budget is a common price point for New England weddings. The head count has gone up a bit from the previous budget levels. Adding details add costs, and you will see some of those start to show up in a budget of this size. The bride’s flowers are peonies, one of the more expensive wedding flowers and best not chosen out of their season of late April through mid-June.
