The struggle of planning a wedding 😣

I'm already married (October 23, 2014), but it was a secretive courthouse thing. We wanted to have that moment to ourselves. Now we've decided to have a wedding August 22, 2015 at the Aquarium... it's gorgeous! But who knew this was going to be sooooo stressful 😣😖. I never thought I would get married much like have a wedding so I had no clue there was so much planning, not to mention MONEY involved lol. There's the DJ, photography, dress, decorations, flowers, food , drinks (UGHHHHH). Can you all tell me where you cut cost and how. I want everything to be perfect, but I DON'T want a $25,000 wedding lol
