Be careful how you craft your vows so that they accurately reflect Scripture...

I think the slogan “under promise and over deliver” applies here...
You could get someone from here to do a sermon from Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, particularly the last phrase. The passage is so familiar at weddings that people will find it completely normal, and be completely taken off-balance by the message that follows...
Other than that, I'll leave it to the women too.
Just spend as little as possible. You'll enjoy it just as much however cheap it is, and will enjoy that money a lot more if it's not blown on flowers but spent on a kitchen appliance that you use for the next decade.

But spend a decent amount on photos and rings. Those are the things you keep and will wear/view over and over again for the rest of your life.
The wedding dress has been a constant source of irritation to me ever since about 3 minutes after I removed it from @Mrs. Pacman on our wedding night. 
I recommend not spending too much on that either. Lol one of these days it might just “disappear” and no one will ever know where it went. Haha

Hear, hear...
If you must have one, they're available online from various Asian countries for a reasonable price.
But they're really not traditional. They are a recent fashion trend that started only after Queen Victoria wore a white dress at her wedding in 1840, and parents started to compete in showing how rich they were to be able to afford to buy something as utterly pointless as an expensive dress that would be worn for only one day. Before then, and still for a long time afterwards, most people just wore a nice dress that would be worn other days also.
The middle-ground suggestion would be to have a nice but practical dress made in white cloth, then dye the whole thing afterwards...

Wow, TMI...well it's clear Jeremy is comfortable around you all, lolThe wedding dress has been a constant source of irritation to me ever since about 3 minutes after I removed it from @Mrs. Pacman on our wedding night.
My dress is a pretty light peach color. Not crazy expensive. About $400. Wedding is not traditional what so ever. I want opinion from the guys as well. My fiancé is the same, he’s a like what ever makes you happy as long as it’s not crazy out. Not buying flowers my soon to be mother in law asked me to use her bouquet and my grandmother is making the bridesmaids bouquets. A family friend is doing the pictures and I’m going the cheap route and either getting a Walmart cake or maybe my grandmother might make it and my sister decorate it. We’re being pretty simple the chapel is beautiful with out decorations so we’re not buying decorations. We’re just hung up on music, bible verses, and vows. I didn’t realize there was so many different style weddings.
We were asked if we were doing handfasting, sand mixing or a unity candle. I didn’t even know what that was. Lol.
I’m so underprepared. 
Lol.

1840 is a recent fashion trend? I’d hate to hear you talk about some that’s been around for a while!
Lol thank you. What details do you wanna know? He’s sweet. I’m his 3rd wife, but not plural. He was in the army. Both of his wives left him to be with other men. His kids love me. We have never been in an argument. He’s a great leader. He respectful. I’m slowly pulling him more an more towards God. I’m not trying to be pushy with my beliefs. He was raised without religion. If i go to church he goes with me. He listens and asks questions he’s eager to learn about God. It’s amazing.
Hmmm who here could do a sermon like that for me?? That’s sounds like an awesome idea!!
That's pretty good, thanks!
Honestly I never even thought about writing my own vows. I was just. Going to do the basic. I’m not that great with writing and I get tongue tied an nervous and I’ll probably cry. Lol.
That is good! I remember those days. It'll change. Just remember what matters is how you handle the diversity that comes, because it will, and working through those together is how strong marriages get built.
Right! We have this thing if we get mad we both walk away immediately to cool off. We don’t want to say anything to be hurtful or rude. If we disagree we talk and find a middle ground. If it’s something he strongly believes then I don’t fight him on it. Same for him.
