How to do a Fastlane wedding?

[^eagle^]

I am looking for ideas on how to create an incredible wedding experience but at the same time find unique andf creative ways to finance it.

Both my fiancee and I had very cheap first weddings. I think mine cost a total of $1200 including rings and my fiancee was duped into marriage being young, naive and new to the USA.

We want this to be something memeorable but at the same time not put us in a hole finacially. I have already purchased the rings and from shopping around I got her a good one at a good price. I just want a band. I intend to have it paid off in six months which should not be a problem.


Some of the things I have done.

Entered several honeymoon and wedding contests
inquired about the use of timeshare points for rentals (They wont use them but will give us additional points depending on how much we spend.)

Any other ideas would be welcomed

Thanks
