A wedding is a human-scaled event. It should be, economically speaking, a human-scaled event.
Being able to write a check for any amount, for any level of grandeur at all, does not dignify or sanctify anything. It's just sad.

Wedding Customs - Caught in a Time Warp
Re: Wedding Customs - Caught in a Time Warp
My first wedding was weird and hippie-esque. Made my own 'costume'; held it outdoors; one fist-fight for entertainment.
The marriage lasted about a year.
My second was more traditional, but not fully: Wedding/Reception/Honeymoon ...on a strict budget, everything cut-cost. Fights reserved to the parking lot. Guests loved it for under 5K. General description was 'classy'.
Lasted eight years.
...not expecting, nor wanting another one. Hippy or Classy, no matter; I'll just wait to see if the relationship lasts first, and enjoy as it comes.
