Answer
My mother grew up on a farm in east Texas; I've heard stories of their first and second houses (only the second had running water and electricity!). I've not only heard lots of stories about the farm itself, and have been taught to do things needed to survive, but also about people who worked for them during the Depression, when all they could pay was food and a place to live, but at least everybody had enough to eat! I've been told how to do everything from raise flowers to slaughter a hog, although I hope I never have to do the latter. I learned to make butter and soap, how to raise chickens, how to milk a cow, and how to pick cotton. I learned how to "candle" an egg, how to put a chicken to sleep by tucking its head under its wing, and what to feed baby chicks so that they grow quickly. Both my mother and grandmother taught me to sew, quilt, and embroider (and I do the best needlework of anybody I know, hands down!); thanks to them, I can make anything from a pair of underwear to a wedding gown, and have DONE it! And from my father and grandfather, I learned some basic carpentry skills, how to tool and sew leather (I at least know in theory how to TAN it, no less), and can make a basic sort of pair of shoes if I really have to, along with moccasins. I know how to read basic blueprints, make simple drafting type drawings, and can (and have) built bookshelves, plant stands, and a variety of other things. I think I'm very lucky!
My grandmother died in 2000 at the age of 96; my mother is 79, and I am 52.

Cheap wedding under $2000?
CJ Baby's
Ideas for cheap wedding for under $2000. My grandfather will minister it at our chuch for free. And for the venue, it will be free as well, but for the other stuff, decorations, food, and dress and suits...ideas. My fiance has a tux and but would it also be ok for the groomsmen to just wear black pants with black jacket with white collard shirt with black tie?? I live in the country so it doesnt really matter. Colors will either be black/red or royal blue/yellow flowers. What times of the year is the color black/red used and blue/yellow? Any suggestions would be appreciated. THANKS!
since we are country. would potluck be ok?
Answer
Get each family member to make a covered dish and bring to the reception. Decorations - dollar tree!
Look for sales on wedding outfits and gowns at Goodwill is sometimes an option. Red seems to me to be more Christmas wedding- Blue Yellow maybe spring- but find what is on sale and make it work!
Congratulations!
