She also made all the food for the event herself, using items from Lidl and was up from 8am on her own wedding day preparing the spread.
The couple had their wedding at their own Bistro, so it didn’t cost them anything to rent it out and even skimped out on a honeymoon, choosing to spend their wedding night at home with the kids.
The pictures of Jodie’s wedding look stunning, and it’s hard to believe she spent next to nothing on her big day.
The bride’s video has likely left many open-mouthed as it has racked up over 160,000 views.
