My husband and I celebrate two wedding anniversaries.  One in December and one in August.  We just recently celebrated our 4th December anniversary and that got me thinking about our wedding.  The reason for two is because we technically had two wedding ceremonies.  A civil one in New Jersey and a church one in Istanbul, Turkey.  Both involved a party, a DJ and wedding cake, but we bit the bullet a little bit and tried to stay away from anything too extravagant.  Because we knew we would have two celebrations, we tried to do as much of it as DIY as possible and in the end that saved us money, time and reduced the amount of waste we generated
