Shot Gun Weddings, Top Five Reasons to Have One

In the old days... a Shot Gun Wedding, was usually a wedding that was whipped together in less than a month... If a bride was pregnant, the wedding would be done and over with before anyone knew, and the father of the bride would keep a keen eye on the groom to make sure he did not escape!.

Wow! times have changed. But, if you are looking to save money on your own wedding, not giving yourself a lot of time, will actually force you to keep a lower budget.

If you have been engaged for a while, and you just have not got around to setting the date, you could either elope and save money on a wedding, or you could plan a quick wedding, that in actual fact could be the best wedding you have ever been a part of. Here are five good reasons to try it.

1) You won't be stressing about a dress, because you will have to find a ready made one, or borrow one.

2) You won't be trying to get rid of that 10 pounds, because there won't be time, and you will not have to go through the dieting and misery of starving yourself to look great on your special day. No wonder some brides look like they are going to faint!

3) You will have to find a restaurant that will cater to your small wedding reception, or have it at your place. This will be the deciding factor in how many people will be invited.

4) Invitations will either be store ready, home made or phone calls only!.

5) You can get some great last minute deals on honeymoon packages.

Have you ever had a spare of the moment party or gathering that was very memorable, compared to parties that you agonized over for weeks that just caused you stress and were over before you knew it?..

Sometimes if you have too much time to plan a wedding, then they get more and more detailed, and the more details you have to worry about, the more stress it causes until finally you are almost in tears and lose sight of why you were getting married in the first place! You do not need to go deep in debt to have a nice wedding. You do not want to be paying for one day for decades to come. You should feel great, happy, and have a good time.

It is your special day, you are the one in control... enjoy it!
