Deal: Ok, Frugal Family. Every so often we must break out of our comfort zone (or zipcodes!) in order to get an amazingly frugal deal.

The festival will be on September 25, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will feature wedding professionals from around New England. Find your frugal florist, frugal tux place, frugal photog! You can also enter to win a wedding ceremony at Fenway Park! Admission is only $15 per person, so don that Red Sox tee and go plan your frugal wedding day!
