I actually think the whole wedding thing is overblown. Wife and I got engaged and married 5 weeks later. Total bill was less than $2000. Not the most elaborate wedding, but we didn't force our parents to refinance their houses, we got married, and we still love each other. Not sure why it takes $20k+ to say "I do"

Completely agreed. My idea of ideal wedding was, load up the closest family, all go to Hawaii, get married in front of the few folks, send them home, and we stay for another 10 days for the honey moon.

But it didn't work like that way given the strict wedding requirements coming from the other side of my family, chinese that is. Besides the idea of coming back home from our own weeding with a quarter mill check in our pocket wasn't so bad at all, so the big wedding suddenly sounded really appealing. And to be honest we really had a blast. It was very lavish and good time for everyone.
