how much did you spend on your wedding?
 

if you don't mind saying.

:glugglug

was about $10K for the dinner reception for about 150 people about 9 years ago - that was reasonable higherend for winnipeg at the time - nice hall - good food - higher end drinks

Fuck it.. marriage is just to expensive. Lets spend the bucks on a weekend in LasVegas :thumbsup

$25 for the marriage license at the marriage commissioner in vegas, and $40 for the ceremony

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

400 uk pounds (a little over $700). That includes clothes and rings :thumbsup

Isn't it up to the bride's parents to pay :)

far too much. should not have bothered, just given the money straight to the ex wife to get rid of her :)

grooms side usually gets the booze though - depending on the crowd that can be more LOL

Over 20k. About 350 people were there. I probably knew about 100 of them.

Formal weddings have very little to do about the bride & groom. It's all about the parents...

We actually eloped first. Called a friend to meet us at the courthouse as our witness! Our families had driven us crazy while we were dating. Later they coaxed us into a church wedding. UGH.

Note to self: Avoid webmasters at wedding, lol.

:thumbsup :thumbsup

Around 10k about 15 years ago. With no booze. My ex husband and I didn't drink at all. So we didn't have an open bar. We had the reception at the yacht club in town.

nothing, marriage is for fools

About $15k for a 45 people dinner at a fancy french restaurant here in Japan.

Which one?

nothing...
the wifes parents paid for everything :thumbsup

around 25000 us dollars

i mean, that includes everything, reception and all

but i save a lot of money, coz a friend of mine design the wedding ensemble

With my amazing honeymoon 2 the US of A around the $25000

Not a dime - here in the south the bride's parents are stuck with everything ;) But my Dad spent about $10-15K 24 years ago.

Including the divorce or not?

:thumbsup Had to do it twice too!

$145 in vegas, I got the limo package to the little white chapel, and back to the hotel.

I suppose you fly to paris for sushi? :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

20 plus years ago, Four Seasons Washington DC. 30 plus grand .... foolish !

havent married it but im hoping her father iwll pay the cost :pimp

First wife, the wedding cost her parents 35K.

Second wife cost me about 2k. maybe a little more.

Agree. Spending that much unless you're just rolling in money doesn't make sense. That many years ago and then some I remember her spending $3K for a dress and a bit more than that for the photo album. Don't remeber the total cost.

I just got married last month and my wife's family took care of everything pretty much. I paid for the tuxes and the dj but that was it.

Yeah, what ever happened to that?? Just my luck that both her and my parents are way more broke than we are. We get to pay for our entire wedding.

I'd tell you what our budget is quiet, but that would be useless since we're already over it and we still have months to go.

I still dream about it...

About 75k not including the honeymoon....Worth every penny though.

Probably under $1000 including my dress. I didn't want a big wedding. I was more interested in the marriage than spending a ton of money on one day. It turned out to be great and a very friendly atmposhere rather than me having to pretend to know who everyone invited was and how I was related to them.

ditto...wasn't in Vegas tho:thumbsup

:glugglug

Less than I would've paid for a pre-nup. Ima slave to my ex. :helpme

Aint married :)

I saved about 100K by not having one yet, then all the money from her not taking it from me. So I think I am way up. LOL

never been married, i'm too young for that!

1st Wedding in the 80's, that my parents paid for Aprox 15K.
2nd Wedding, we paid the bill, $1,500.

My best advice, is don't start your marriage in debt for a party.

$130 or so in Vegas.

about 15k for everything....i have friends looking at over 40k..i keep telling them not to waste their money..and use it for a downpayment as they are still renting

im not rich but i want to be..and you dont get there by throwing money away

thanx God i havn't marriaged yet :winkwink: just enjoy ma life

It depends on the # hubby. Being that there have been a few.


:winkwink:

quiet,

I've been going through this with my fiance' for about a month now. Fortunately, her father is traditional and wants to pay for everything. So far, we're looking at 25k-35k for 150 guests. Not including the honeymoon.

Hope that helps.:)

I was in the business of marriage, now in the first husbands club, and there are so many factors of expenses..here are a few pointers..



1.Find a place that will hold the number of guests that you want to invite. Be sure that the place allows you to bring your own flowers caterers and alcohol. This is the key to saving a lot of money. Your caterers will provide the staff for your bar and you can get all top shelf alcohol at a fraction of the costs and buy it yourself at Sams or Costco. If you are on the east coast, believe it or not, get your flowers from Publix. You can have someone arrange them in your family and save big here as well.


2.Consider a great DJ instead of a band?you will save big here as well and you will have total control of the music that you want.


3.I spent 25k for 300 people using the above. Everyone thought I spent over 75k. Plus 5k for the rehersal dinner and plus the honey moons...I did sun Jamacia the first week, then Lake Tahoe the second week for skiing..


4.Get a good divorce attorney. In the end it did not work..



Good Luck?.


Mr. Romance

Was about $500 including my dress plus I paid for the bridemaids dresses, the booze and everything. Had the reception in the husbands aunts backyard.

The divorce cost him about $1500 - $2000 2 years later!!
