Depending on the size of the wedding, you'll probably have a few people there who can take pretty good photo's. We opted out of a professional and just asked people who wanted to photo/video the event to feel free. We may not have gotten the professional polished look, but we had like 5000...
I've done my bumpers and wheels with plasti dip. It doesn't look great, but its at least one color now. Both had soo much trail rash that I was showing thru the original paint. Works for me, but you can't care to much about appearances.
You can buy an Alaskan mill and get some slabs, but it alotta time and energy. Its great for splitting and using as firewood! I live in Marietta and I'd love to have some! You give me rounds, I'll split them!
