[quote=Anonymous]These kinds of differing expectations and disagreements about money are perfect practice for marriage.  You two need to figure out a compromise where you each get some of what you want and where your wedding reflects what matters to you most as a couple.  As PPs have suggested, pre-marital counseling can help with this.

I wanted to elope.  My now DH wanted a 600-person wedding.  We wound up with 225 at a barn wedding.  I still feel like it was a ridiculous amount of money to spend on a wedding (I think we came in somewhere between $60 and $80k), but it was a heck of a party and it made him really happy.

You can have a great wedding of any size on any budget.  The best weddings that I have been to are those where the people getting married are collaborating on a celebration that represents their values and where they put effort into making their guests comfortable; it's "your" day and all, but the people who attend are also your guests and you are the host/hostess.
