From Danielle…
I am such a daddy’s girl and I saved a huge surprise for him the day of our wedding! He is a retired firefighter and has always loved the sound of bagpipes being played. Right before he and I walked down the aisle I leaned over and told him I had a surprise for him. At that moment, the bag piper started to play and my sweet dad cried the entire time we walked down the aisle. It was the most beautiful sound and I will never forget walking down the aisle with my dad.
IF you are just checking in, we are talking to Danielle…an SMP reader who sent us the gorgeous details from her own real wedding!
From Danielle...
I knew the most important things to me when looking at my budget were location, pictures and food. I spent the majority of my money there and then really budgeted the rest. I knew I could have the wedding of my dreams if I just really put my mind to it and chose the right elements. I also wanted a wedding that was not the regular cookie cutter wedding – a wedding that exuded our love and our story. Very personal and fun!

Danielle has been sweet enough to share with us her Real Wedding Story…
We spent the 2004 Labor Day weekend with family and friends in Montana, where our family has a vacation house. I brought my newfound best friend, Melinda, and my brother, Cass, brought a few of his friends. Little did we all know that within six weeks of the trip, Lee Copeland (one of Cass’s best friends) and I would be dating, as well as Cass and Melinda. If you fast-forward a few years, I was in the midst of planning the wedding of my dreams with Lee, and Cass has just proposed to Melinda! We were going to be a great big family of best friends!
You guys are in for such a treat today. I am madly in love (and although I throw that around quite often, I really do mean it) with this SMP reader’s wedding. Danielle and her husband were married on a gorgeous old farm in Georgia…
The pair were married underneath a 200 year Oak tree in front of a beautiful lake, in a stunning Rustic Chic style. Danielle was on a budget and STILL managed to pull off this lovely wedding. I have more pictures and brilliant details coming, so stay tuned!
