Kiara and Joel Brokenbrough of Los Angeles decided to be "as minimal as possible" while planning their wedding.
The information was shared in the form of a video on Instagram handle lovinmalta. “Kiara and Joel Brokenbrough, a couple from California have taken the world by storm for their $500 wedding complete with a $47 Shein wedding dress,” said the caption of the post.
A bride is always picky while choosing her bridal dress for the big day but when Kiara visited Shein, a web retailer similar to Fashion Nova, she bought a $47 wedding gown.
"I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a dress because I had the mindset I'm gonna wear this one time for a few hours," Kiara told Good Morning America.
