A money-savvy bride shared how she scaled down her spending on her wedding to around £1,600.
Amber Dupress, from Florida in US, was getting praises for the "smart idea" for holding an intimate reception in her very own back garden.
The bride shared a snippet of the moment as she walked down the aisle from her home and out to the lawn in the backyard.

Wearing a lace wedding dress and holding a white flower bouquet, Amber stopped at the front row to give her son a kiss before heading to meet the love of her life at the makeshift altar.
"You have a backyard wedding under $2,000 (£1,570) because marrying your best friend is all that matters to you," Amber said in the video.
She noted that her wedding dress was from Amazon Fashion and only cost her less than $100 (£78).
The bride also revealed that she would rather spend the money on building a dream home than splurging on a wedding.
And viewers loved Amber's idea as some shared what they did to cut cost on wedding spending.
One said: "Mine cost the application fee and a dinner to Cheesecake Factory. Have been together for over 21 years."
"That was me this weekend! $40 dress, dollar tree decorations that my friends put together, a cute potluck style reception and all the love, it was perfect!" a second wrote.
While others were getting inspired to slim down their wedding as well, a woman penned: "Beginning to think this is the way to go after dropping $30k CAD on our wedding. Congrats girl!"
A second added: "We did a $2,500 wedding in a park. Used the extra money to put down on our house."
"Yeah we need to normalise small, affordable weddings! Ours was $1,500 and we spent money on travel instead," a third added.
