The president, CEO, designer, writer, and admin assistant for K.i.s.s Wedding

That's me, Susanna Miles and my husband Adrian on our wedding day. As you can see he's still getting used to his new ring :)

We planned an amazing, budget wedding. But, in the beginning I was afraid it wasn't going to be possible to have everything we wanted on our moderate budget.

I would search online or buy wedding magazines and go straight to the "Budget Ideas" section, only to find that even the budget ideas were out of my league.

I was honestly thinking that a Las Vegas drive-thru wedding was our only option...

When did K.i.s.s'ing start?

Even though I was an event planner, planning my wedding wasn't always easy.

BUT, one fate-filled day on my way home from work I stressing about something related to our wedding and then, something clicked and I was like, "What are you doing? Keep it simple, stupid!" That's actually something I say to myself alot, but that day saying it to myself literally changed everything for me.

Long story short, keep it simple stupid became "keep it simple & special" and it helped me make my wedding day every bit the unforgettable affair I hoped it would be. And, If you haven't guessed yet it also inspired this website.

Since then I have spent the past 3 years developing the K.i.s.s concept and coming up with ideas to help you plan a beautiful and debt-free wedding. My latest achievment is my book Perfect Weddings Without the Debt which takes K.i.s.s a step farther!

I'll tell you about that in a minute. Right now, let me tell you a bit about how we K.i.s.s'ed, since I know you're dying to know!

K.i.s.s'ing Made My Wedding Day Perfect Too!

We had a full bar, a designer meal, custom-made rings, a raw silk dress (worth $3000...but I didn't pay that!), and we were surrounded by lots and lots of love. All, for $8000!

We were married in the grotto in a lovely Fusion bistro only minutes from our home in a trendy area of the city. We had 80 people in attendance, we served the most amazing h'ors d'oevres, my husband and his musician friends entertained us for a bit, and everyone just hung out, drank, nibbled and laughed. And, there was some dancing too!

The Evolution of K.i.s.s

I've always wanted to write a book and recently that dream became a reality. I used my event planning experience and the K.i.s.s concept to come up with a plan to stay organized, stay on budget, and still plan the perfect wedding. And, all of that info is in the K.i.s.s Wedding Guide.

Not only did I plan some pretty nifty events, but I'm a bit of a bargain hunter. In fact, I'm renowned for getting really great things for really cheap - like our wedding! And, after years of working to bring you great wedding ideas I learned a ton of little tips and secrets to simplify AND save on just about everything.

There just isn't any need for "cheap" and tacky regardless of how big your budget is. And, a small budget doesn't mean you'll have to drive yourself to stressville with 5 million diy projects.

You'll probably laugh (I always do) but, for a person who thought weddings were a bit over-rated I can't help but laugh at the depth of knowledge I now I have :) It is, however this knowledge that will make K.i.s.s'ing easier than ever for the rest of you.

Saying your I do's doesn't have to be a $25 000 affair. With a little inspiration and planning, you can have a designer wedding without the designer budget.

The K.i.s.s Wedding Guide gives you all the tools you need to save and simplify while making your wedding day every bit as special as it should be. Find out how today.
