man, when my wife and i got married we could only afford a single twin bed and were saving up for the other to push them together. at first it was romantic trying to share that tiny space, but i eventually got pushed to the floor and occupied a sheepskin rug. our kitchen table was a plastic crate and we had some mis-matched lawn chairs. we bought our wedding rings from a sale event in a parking lot outside a mall. everything we owned fit into 4 bags after we sold the car and bought one way tickets to the states. we ate a lot of fish, cause a fishing license and tackle is a lot cheaper than a hunting license and a gun/ammo. plus it was easier to clean and gut fish to bring back to the apartment rather than field dress a deer on the porch. she baked all our bread. still does. we got married officially by a judge. and then later on her parents gave us a real wedding. it was good. things are a lot different now. we've walked thru much together, gaining kids, house, plastic stuff from china... loosing my hearing, starting a business - hours spent trying to figure out whether we love or hate the dog... mostly, my wife is my best friend - if i could have afforded it, i would have given her whatever wedding she would have wanted. but all i could afford was a couple flutes of champaign and some m&m's. and she loves me anyway.
