How much did you spend for your wedding?

Hi there, I got married back in 2000 and I can tell you that compared to a lot of weddings, my wedding was about as cheap as you can get without being completely naff. I got my wedding dress (Laura Ashley) from a charity shop for £8.50, My husband already had the suit he wore, The license cost £60, The wedding Reception cost £350 and the one night we could have as a honeymoon (we had his 7 kids and my daughter so no big honeymoon there) cost us £120 so in total my wedding cost me £538.50 or just over $1000. I guess I settled for a cheaper wedding than most women would because I wasn't bothered about all the trappings as long as I got the ring on his finger and none of the relatives tried to kill each other lol. I would say it all depends on the woman, If you're like me then you don't mind barely spending anything and still have fun because it's all about you anyways or you can go the whole hog and spend thousands upon thousands and get the picture perfect princess wedding you always wanted. It's entirely up to you!

My budget is $10,000USD, which is pretty cheap since the average wedding costs about $26,000USD these days. I'm having to cut back on a LOT of things. It's depressing, but I just don't have the money.

i got married around 1991, cant remember anymore. now we are separated for 8 years and there is no longer any reason to remember it. lol

Well I want my wedding memorable but for me as long as my needs on my wedding are complete then its enough,The Important is my parents and friends are invited,Maybe five hundred thousand below is enough for my wedding ceremony.

Am planning to wed next year and honestly we are not planining to spend extravagantly. We are planing to spend atmost 1000 dollars in all the expenses including rings. I know it is a once in a lifetime event but i cant go to the extreme to make it good. We are making it private and only tea and snacks will be served. Even the 1000 dollars am talking about we dont have it at hand. Fiancee and I dont want to strain our parents for something like that. Hope everybody understands cause we have a life to live after the wedding, kids will be on the way also.
