Another thread and an upcoming friend's wedding has me thinking about wedding costs. So, how much did yours cost? For the engaged, how much do you think yours will cost? Please also tell us how many guests, and when you were married so we can adjust for inflation.
I was married in 2004. We had less than 30 guests. We paid for everything ourselves. Total cost for ceremony, cocktails and nibbles, open bar, plated dinner, cake, flowers, dress, rings (not e-ring), and photography was around $10,000. We didn't do a dance.
I still wish we had eloped and spent the money on a nice honeymoon trip. Never did get a honeymoon. Went back to work a day later. I do, however, love my wedding photos.
