3k including dress and make up/hair, court house wedding, plus reception, 50 people, 2005. DH bought the ring which was 2500. Got 2500 in gift money excluding parent's gifts. Still married.

25k, 100 people, 2009. Near Fairfield, CT. Paid ourselves. No debt. Would have preferred 50 people. DH wanted more.

Too much in retrospect.
Would rather have put it toward investments or a house.


Agree. Wish we had held BBQ reception at his parent's house and saved the money on food/venue/bar. It was a nice wedding but 11 years out I couldn't give two shits less. Never look at my pictures, whatever. It was a day. We're still together, slogging through life as two working parents with two kids. That's all that matters.

about $25k for 100 people (10 tables) at the National Harbor....I think Wolf Gang Puck now has a lock on the catering for the site so it's probably very steep now.

This whole thread is making me thing that people care a lot less about 'name' and important locations for their weddings/receptions than I once thought. Looks like a whole lot of middle-of-the-road weddings out in the countryside, which is probably a factor of the age at which people got married more than anything else.

It was a lot, but it was fun. I wish we hadn't spent so much, but I don't regret it.

$12k including rings and honeymoon. 75 people, parents house in New England. Perfect size, knew everyone well. Could have been cheaper, but felt necessary to have a tent in case of rain (it drizzled a bit) and hired caterer (didn't want to task family with food prep.)
