That's why I'm marrying him

We went and looked at reception sites this weekend. Failed miserably.
We looked at 5 of them and 3 didn't have our date. One of the remaining two we just didn't like. The last one costs $6,000. (Food included)
We absolutely love the site, it's beautiful and what we were looking for. They have our date and it's big enough for our group. Problem? They're forcing us to use their caterer for $12/plate. We had dreamed of home-made lasagna for our reception (made by the best cook I know), not costly commercial chicken or something. They're also forcing me to have a bar. I do not want a bar at my wedding reception. I don't need drunk uncles or the cost. He told I could serve pop if I wanted. I have to pay for the set up/clean up of the bar, plus 2 bartenders at like $20/hour. It works out to $200 total, for them to serve soda to my guests. I'm pretty unhappy with the ethics of that. Plus, I had hoped to keep the entire wedding around $6000 (might be a dream, but I wanted to try)

After a day of that, we were pretty discouraged and I was on the verge of tears. I can't afford the nice day I've always dreamed of, and desperately want. He noticed the look on my face so pulled over. He put his hand on my leg and talked about why I'm so upset and he basically told me why everything's going to be okay and reminded me that all I really care about is a life-time with him when everything's over. As I was listening to his soft voice, I was flooded with all the reasons why I'm marrying him. I just can't stop falling in love with him, over and over again.
