My wife and I were married in 1998 at a cost of less than $1,000. But we were both 44 and adult.

And the honeymoon ain’t over. Dead serious. It only got stronger.

Well, the rings were worth about $2,000 and pretty darned nice, thanks to Costco.

I spent a LOT less on the rings ... Service Merchandise! (R.I.P.)

Biggest expense was the Rent-a-Car.

My wife made her own wedding gown and her family made the reception food; our reception was in the church basement. It was in northwest Canada, so only three people from my side made it (fifty from my wife's): my mom, best man, and one college pal. It was great. Twenty years this May.

Funny, we got married in 98 and in similar circumstances. Ours was a tad more, like about $3K. Coming up on 20 next year too.

In inverse relation, my wife’s daughter’s cost $20K+ five years ago....it lasted two years. My wife is sick she spent that much money for it and I have been quiet not to mention I suggested she just give them the cash and not that much.

I beat you: maybe $250 in 1975 plus a $100 suit for me and low-cost rings. We didn’t have the elaborate meal obviously, and use of the church was free.

We were married in the living room of the house we had just bought (basically, had to schedule the Justice of the Peace)

Threw a reception in it, that weekend, at a cost of ~$200.

Engagement ring was an antique bought at a government estate jewelry event (I was traveling overseas as an Air Force contractor at the time. . . .). Cost $87 bucks plus 20 to get it resized.

Wedding rings were from the JC Penney catalog. We’ll be married 18 years, come May. . .
