My wife and I have been married for 31 years. We spent about $1500 on our wedding, our money, not her families, and had right at 150 people there. We spent about 4 weeks prior to the day making flower arrangements and getting things ready and on the day about 20 of us decorated the state park pavilion we had rented, set up the reception hall and then left to get dressed for the wedding. Wedding went off without a hitch, about 3 hours of reception afterwards and we were off in a limo to a hotel near ATL for a flight the next morning to Jamacia. Spent more on the honeymoon than the wedding. Everyone had a big time...they showed up in formal wear and jeans and T shirts...no one cared a bit. We at BBQ and whatever anyone brought....MIL made the cake, it was perfect. And the marriage has lasted 31 years, we have 2 kids, we have buried parents, we have attended graduations, we have lived life...and we did not freak the frick out or spend a stupid amount of money to tell the world we intended to spend our lives together.
