Depends on so many things! Was it open bar? Afternoon or evening? Formal? How many people? What was served?
A $10000 wedding using your mom's dress, with 35 guests could be far more "expensive" per person then a different kind of wedding with more guests, purchased dress, bigger but uglier venue, etc. We were allowed to bring our own alcohol to the venue so we had all "top shelf" booze that we bought for a few thousand dollars and just paid for the bartenders. If you were a guest there, you might have paid more in alcohol than I did for worse choices in alcohol at your own wedding. Mine looked "cheaper" on paper but her's was "cheaper" appearing as a guest (cheaper=less expensive, not the derogatory meaning). What's your point? You can't tell anything from a number because of all of these factors. But if you want it, mine was 10000 (approx). My dad gave me a check at the wedding for what I saved (had no idea he would do that) from what I could have spent but saved. |

| 100 people, New Year's Eve, DC 2010. About $100k. Still married, still love my husband, but realize now that blowing that money was INSANE. |
