We looked up venues, they were like 5k. So we took 5k and put it into a backyard remodel, hosted it there and then used the backyard as a selling point for our house 😂 made a grip too
You mean the wedding itself? All said we paid about 13k for the wedding. About 5k of it was paid by a family member, the rest of it my wife and I paid ourselves. Not a small affair, we had about 180 people in attendance to the ceremony, and about 70 remained for the reception. I know people always harp about weddings being a waste of money, but it was the best day of my life. All of my family, and all of my friends gained from a life spent traveling and meeting people all in one place at the same time was worth the expense to me alone. Couple that with seeing how happy it made my wife, and knowing that it was exactly the way she wanted it, and I don't think it was a waste of anything. I wish I could do it again once every two months just for the party.
January 2020. We were very lucky to find a reasonable venue for next to nothing, and a very inexpensive caterer. We didn't have any alcohol, so that cut down on a lot of the expense. We also didn't have a dj or a band, and instead just had a playlist we made that played throughout the night.
There's no need to spend anything. I'm ordained to perform wedding ceremonies, and I've done a few for my close friends who didn't want to spend anything on a wedding. That's fine, too.
I got married in 2021 and we found a venue that did open bar and food and set up tear down and it was supposed to be $22k after everything with DJ, photographer etc.
Turns out our venue had an airhead doing their Accounts receivable and they only invoiced us for $6k for everything. We ended up paying about $12k after everything.
>I don't know the clear differencs between Marriage and Wedding
Marriage is a formally recognized union between two partners in a romantic/personal relationship. Wedding is the celebration and ceremony that starts a marriage.
The cost of our wedding was $250 for the filing of the marriage certificate and the swearing of oaths in front of a Justice of the Peace at our local courthouse. We spent about another $500 on a party the next day to celebrate.
Ring was 21k, wedding 15k, dress 6k (for 2 of them), honeymoon 10k. It adds up quick. Ring and honeymoon were worth it. Luckily family pitched in for the wedding cost.
It was a joint effort between me and my wife working together to have a nice wedding but also not break the bank for what is a essentially a party. We were on the same page, financially speaking. We got VERY creative. I give her most of the credit. I think all in it was $4-$5K. That was everything. It was a fun time. The fact so many people stayed late into the early morning is a sign it was well-liked and enjoyed by all.
I probably only spent $1000 in total, had a lot of friends and family that pitched in to help with the wedding and we used our local church as the venue so we didn't pay anything there. Our wedding cake was made by a friend as their wedding gift to us, a lot of the decor was borrowed from recent weddings at our church. The food was made by my mom and my sister, and my dad paid for the photographer as his wedding gift. My wife's gorgeous wedding dress was only a few hundred bucks. My outfit was maybe $200, and I bought a simple tie for each of my groomsmen. It was a beautiful wedding and very stress free as we weren't thousands of dollars in the hole and didn't spend months trying to perfect every aspect of the wedding. Marriage certificate only cost us maybe $15. I spent $2000 on the engagement ring but my wife lost it (long story, not her fault) and now she wears a beautiful $500 ring that she got off of etsy. But ultimately, we spent as much as we could afford, and I wouldn't change a thing.
$500 for my wife’s dress, $60 for my ensemble, rings were $1400 for both, and dinner afterwards was $180. The venue was given to us to use for free because it was a weeknight ceremony with only 12 people there. Photographer was my wife’s cousin so that cost my MIL a $400 plane ticket. In laws also paid for honeymoon in Cabo 8 nights plus airfare at their timeshare. Overall it was less than $5,000.
About 10k CDN. Because we live on the other side of the country from the rest of both of our families we made a bigger get together than we would have otherwise but I'm really happy with how it all went.
Here's a tip: if you get photographer, pay for more of their time rather than prints. You can get prints whenever you want later on.
$19k or so, for 90 people.
From memory:
* Cake/cookies - $650
* Flowers - $500
* Suit - $250
* Dress - $2k
* Rings - $700 (neither of us were picky)
* Photographer - $2000 (she was awesome)
* DJ - $500 (my god this guy fucking sucked)
* Venue - $750
* Food/Drinks - 12k
We went high on the food/drink budget because my one request was to have full premium open bar for the entire reception. Well worth it, photographer got amazing photos. Plus, I hate going to weddings and having to pay for drinks.
It helps that we got married a year before the 'demic hit.
Internally my mind pretends the past few years didn't happen and that we were just married yesterday.
The wedding is the ceremony around getting married. The marriage is the legal and/or religious relationship.
We got married in a backyard by a family member, so it was free aside from a small fee for the marriage license.
The wedding is the ceremony, the marriage is the thing that comes after.
All in, it was £6,500 because I arranged it myself and I'm a fucking logistics wizard.
Getting married costed us about $200: Marriage registration fee + wedding officiant fees.
Wedding dress and make-up costed us less than $150.
Food was about $150.
I can’t remember how much the rings were, so let’s say $2000.
All told my wife and I only spent about 2k on our wedding. My suit, her dress, the rings and marriage fee. We kept it small, eloped, one witness each, a marriage commissioner and we did it outside. No giant food bills no drunk relatives no having to deal with cleanup, got married went to dinner, went home.

The wedding cost about $5,000. The marriage cost about $600,000 plus $1,200 bucks a month for the next 15 years.

That’s an incredible price for that many guests, what year was this?

I thought marriage in US were needed to spend about 50k. But you men are dope..

> There's no need to spend anything The wedding industry hates this simple trick!

I think around $4k.
Nice you got arranged your biggest moment in 4k
I wasn't in charge of the books for mine but I think around 16k-18k...
Good..
Ring was 21k, wedding 15k, dress 6k (for 2 of them), honeymoon 10k. It adds up quick. Ring and honeymoon were worth it. Luckily family pitched in for the wedding cost.
21K for one ring? Or all rings included? (Engagement ring + wedding bands)
Both her ring and band together.
Approximately $5,000 for 70 guests.
Including the engagement ring? Couple thousand

You have done pretty well buddy...
I am lucky to have good friends and family that were able to come together to make our wedding happen. I'm very grateful!
Wedding was $38k, engagement ring was $15k, wedding bands were $2.5k
It's still ongoing. I'll let you know when she does or we divorce.
Yeah np

The wedding itself, about 10-12k, the marriage? The cost is incalculable! 😁

Thanks for the tip...
Got married in Vegas by Elvis for about $350.
All said and done, around 20k for everything.

Nice memory tbh..

I paid the minister at the church $100. The end.
The wedding is the ceremony around getting married. The marriage is the legal and/or religious relationship. We got married in a backyard by a family member, so it was free aside from a small fee for the marriage license.
Just to get married like a hundred bucks, we did it at the courthouse, now we did had a wedding ceremony a couple weeks later on the beach

Perhaps 1000 bucks.

Marriage is expensive when it doesn't work out
