Surprizing how many men get hen pecked into paying a fortune for a wedding when this money could be better spent on doing up a home, ok if you have the money pour down the drain, but in the real world it could be spent on better things.
How much did it cost you get married?

Mines booked for August 2016. Atm it's lookin around 15k + honeymoon on top.
Will be at South lodge in Horsham. I always had the thought of having a cheap wedding but when I started looking St venues I couldn't help but want the best for me and the fiancé!

Just been to one which cost around £900. Nice day. I've been to a few now and I've always enjoyed the cheap ones the best.
To be honest the best way to have a wedding is in some country where the currency is weak. For example, in South Africa, a mate of mine had a wedding which cost about £3k for 30ish people.
This included full catering, bubbly, a location which was simply out of this world (it was in a place called Sabie, with a waterfall in the background), band, overnight accommodation and even a valet. Best wedding I've ever been to.

17K but there were aprox 2300 guests.. that's what happens with weddings in India..
What's with all the people? Makes no damn sense. Probably only knew a fraction of them.

I got invited to an Indian wedding once, an old colleague who had left the company some months prior. I do regret not going - I had limited holiday left and it was relatively short notice, plus would have cost a few grand in flights/hotels - he just dropped an e-mail to a few of us to say we'd be very welcome to fly over and attend. Thing was more of a multi-day party than a single wedding event - in more than one Indian city too - would have involved an internal flight too... Whole thing sounded pretty epic though - seems they do like big big parties over here.

in a culture where having quite a few kids is normal you could, in theory, hit a few thousand just with the siblings and first cousins of the bride and groom's parents and the offspring of those siblings and cousins
You're marrying a bloke?

All that money to throw away your life and eventually get divorced.
Disappointing!
