Sharon and I had a simple wedding 44 years ago. The ceremony was in the Presbyterian church around the corner from her parent's home. The reception was in the local Grange Hall. The food was homemade and brought to the reception by family friends. No music, no spirit beverages.
I don't think either one of us has ever felt like we missed out on something or that our wedding wasn't 'good enough' in some way or other. The folks who mattered to us were there to share the occasion.
Same here, I think we spent less than $200 for the whole thing. Had it at her parents house, paid the pastor a little, and a few other little things... Went to Branson on our honeymoon... How funny.. we live here now.
Been married 35 years.. We never regretted not spending a bundle of money we couldn't afford.
