My wedding cost $20,000 and we only had 50 people.
I'm not against big weddings if that's what the couple wants and they don't have to go poor for a few years to afford it. I'm all for having the type of wedding the couple wants with as little outside interference as possible.
It's an important day and the husband and wife should have no regrets about it.
Just curious what your main expense was for such a small guest list? Location?
