Answer 2

Our wedding is costing us about $120 for the license (can't remember the cost off the top of my head). We're also going to pay about $500 to my church and pastor and $100 to my fiance's pastor who is coming out to help with the wedding (she'll be giving the homily).

I suppose if you wanted decorations you should put money aside for that (I'm in a church so that would be pointless).

The wedding costs almost nothing, it's the reception and the photographer and the clothing that's expensive.  

Answer 3

My fiance and I own our house and we have a nicely landscaped tropical backyard with a pool.  So the wedding is at our house.  I shopped around online and at dollar stores and such for decorations.  A family member is a chef and he is providing "heavy hors d'oeuvres".  I'm using disposable cameras for the adults and asking everyone to participate in a photo shoot.  I will also be providing beer & wine.  I made the invitations myself and got crafty with most of the decorations.  My wedding cost about $1,400 (dress and all) for 40 people.  

Answer 4

We were married in our hometown church by three priests - one is my husband's brother, the other two priests are friends. Cost was free!

The dinner and reception was 25k for hosting 200 guests.  

Answer 5

Marrying the person you really know and love, shouldn't have to worry for the costs. The only cost should be for the marriage license and then a small gathering of both the parents families and maybe your good best friends.  Invite them at home or a small restaurant. There is no need to elaborate and show off's.  Save the money for you both for real necessary things in life later. Good luck

Answer 6

I did a lot myself and shopped around and spent about $2000. for a small wedding (about 50)

We paid a preacher we know $100, rented a hall that looks like an old church for the wedding and reception for $75 paid the dj $100, got the cake at the local grocer paid $100. It all depends on what you want and what you can afford. Good Luck.
