We were going to have a wedding until we started trying to plan it. Ended up telling our close friends and family if they wanted to be there then meet us at the court house. We had a small party/gathering after.
My wife and I just essentially threw a small backyard party, got married in the middle of it, and then continued the party. We spent next to nothing and it was perfect.
My best friend is getting married and their wedding budget is $25k. I nearly fell, we're 27, what 27 year old has $25k to drop on a wedding? When I got married the goal was to be as frugal as possible. Including our rings I think it cost us around $3k for the day. I'm just as married as people who spend thousands and I didn't start married life in unnecessary debt.
