DIY Wedding B&H: Cost Breakdown

I'm finally getting around to posting the details of this wedding!  The happy couple just got their photos back from their photographer, and it struck me that it's been two months, and I still haven't gotten this post up!
But first, for your enjoyment, a couple photos of the dancing at the reception in AZ:

Yep, that's me in the grey dress.  Super flattering shot.  Yep, I was having fun.  :)

Though I gotta say, I think my husband has me beat in the looking goofy department.
