This is really, absolutely insane of me, but I'm about to start crying y'all. Our KitchenAid stand mixer was just reserved on our wishpot registry list. I've been wanting a stand mixer since I was a little kid. And really didn't think the chances of someone buying a more spendy thing off the registry were likely. I'm just blown away by how generous people are.
I put together a $10,000 budget, diy, wedding at my parent's home in Northern California in September 2008. Now I write about it (mostly to answer your questions).
