I got married a month and a half ago for $880 because Husband and I were on the same page in terms of what we wanted for a wedding (cheap, low-key, BBQ, small ceremony short of just signing the papers). But to each his/her own, I hope everyone had a great time and you have lots of memories that will last forever. CONGRATS!

The best wishes to you and your lovely wife! by the way, 22K for 200 is pretty good. I managed to get mine around 15K and I had 125 people at my wedding. So you are not such a bad budgeter after all ;-) Cheers, FB. Contratulation on your wedding!

You won't regret it, and you won't regret the peace of mind that it gives you and your wife down the road. The trick is to only get married once :) We spent less than that on our wedding but made it up in the honeymoon. Don't regret for a minute - enjoy!

What you spent on it is your business. FYI: $22,500 is 11.66% of your total net worth. Whether or not you consider that to be a good use of your money is also your business. My wedding cost $2,000 23 years ago. We were so poor, it was WAY more than 11.66% of our net worth!(Thanks again, Dad, for picking up the tab.) Congratulations on your wedding.

What are you doing blogging? Shouldn't you be on your honeymoon. I've been married for 12 years and I have to say that is the best decision I ever made. We got married in a small town in Germany and paid about $9K for 90 people including a trip to Barvaria. Congrats! What are you doing blogging? Shouldn’t you be on your honeymoon.

The cost of a wedding depends not only on how many guests you have, but where you have it. Ours cost about $16K in 2000, and we tried to be cost-conscious. We live in SC, where a lot of stuff costs less. Creative family members helped with flowers, invitations, programs, bridesmaid dresses. Even so, it cost as much as a new car. But when am I ever again going to have the chance to throw a fancy party like that for our far-flung relatives and friends? My only regret is the amount we spent on photography because the photgrapher turned out to be a crook who absconded with our money. Congratulations!
