I recall reading a news story back in the 80's about a future bride being
offered an expensive wedding or $100K towards a house by her parents.
She chose the wedding.

I used to know a guy, completely lost track of him, who was divorced before he finished paying off his wedding and honeymoon. Last time I saw him, 10 years later, he said he was finally out of debt.
The bride and I have never for a moment regretted getting married on the cheap.

I know that a lot of people want to do the big show wedding, but notice how their second wedding is a lot less extravagant?

Guess why I have less debt and almost no new gear since the last 2 years!
But, seriously, we just want to throw a party and having fun.
There's no decorations and we will bring our own alcool!

If I ever get married, I'd like to keep it as low key as possible.

Under 12 I believe, with over 100 people and open bar. It was a good time.

My most expensive wedding was the last one.....$350 which included the JP. The first two had open bars because people brought their own booze. The divorces on the other hand weren't as cheap.

A buddy of mine was 'threatening' to have a wedding at an expensive resort nearby. It was still going to cost me >$1k to attend for 2 nights. Plus all the extras (gift, etc). I don't think many of our communal friends could afford it or were replying in the affirmative. They eloped recently (whew) and we're going to go out for a nice dinner or something instead.

Go for the bridesmaids instead.I would, if they weren't my close friends or friends I've know for a decade or so. I'm going to be so broke
