I'm in the process of planning my wedding and would love to have the ceremony in a small rustic type catholic church that is very old, but I am having a very hard time finding one. I have checked into the California missions but their fee is a little out of my price range, I would like to have a simple country ceremony in an old catholic church. I am willing to travel anywhere in Southern California or Arizona, Please help......
Thank you!!!

Try one of California's Mission Churches. Plenty of info on the web about them.

If you are willing to travel to the Gold Rush country (no further in distance than driving from Southern California to Arizona) there are a number of old Catholic Churches still in use in those small towns along Highway 49.

Here is a list of some of the old churches in that area including Catholic and non-Catholic.

As an alternative, why not get married by Elvis in Vegas for $99 and save the money?

Weddings are expensive, like $20K the typical cost.

Things you can do with that $20K:
You can use that money for a down payment on a house.
You can buy a car.
You can fund both your Roth IRAs and invest the remaining $8K.
You can save for you future kids' college educations.

Or, you can have a four hour party.

The OP says she has already checked into California missions and found them to be too expensive.
