[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got married almost ten years ago. My parents and my husband's parents each gave us $10k for the wedding. We got married in the DC area, had about 200 people at the wedding - which was very casual. The $20k paid for nearly everything including our wedding clothes. We loved our wedding, and we were so grateful for the help.

We were old enough we shouldn't have needed it. Without our parents' help, we probably would have gotten married in one of their backyards - which would also have been nice. [/quote]

+1  2011 wedding. [/quote]

We got married 20 years ago.  Dh and I didn't want to pay a lot for our wedding because we were expecting our first child together and wanted to save our money for baby expenses.  The plan was to have a small wedding at the courthouse or in our backyard (we already owned a house together).  I would have been happy to serve party platters from the grocery store and have the reception in our dining room.  But my mom offered to, and very much wanted to, help us out.  So we wound up having our small wedding and reception in a pretty courtyard setting.  It was perfect for us.[/quote]
