Carol and Chris' Wedding!
Donation protected
Hey there, everyone!
If you've clicked through to this, you most likely already know who I am! As well, you probably already know Carol and I will be tying the knot soon! (August 30th, 2025)
As you may know, weddings can be a little on the pricier side to say the least! Launching a GoFundMe wasn't initially something we wanted to do, but as more and more people wished to come, (which we are very thankful for our big group of family and friends) and us being on the home stretch of our college career you could almost imagine the financial strife we found ourselves in.
This GoFundMe in particular is to help us expand our resources, as the last thing we want to do is have to cut anyone back due to lack of available space/ supplies.
Some things taken into account when we decided to launch this GoFundMe that led us here:
- $20 Per Plate for catering
- A separate space to fit more guests at the reception
- Helping as many people as we can get from A to B to attend the ceremony/reception.
Those are just a few examples of why we decided to launch this, and we are no strangers to the stigma around it, but in all honesty, we just needed that little boost to help us out. We deeply understand that times are rough for many right now, and by no means is any sort of donation required or even expected. This was just something to help overcome some financial barriers that we otherwise may have had to cut out. Even if you took the time to visit the page and read through means more to me than you can imagine!
(I do not expect to hit the goal, it was the default goal for weddings provided by GoFundMe :) )
