I spent about $200 for my wedding lol and that's only because our families forced us to "do" something to celebrate.
Got married in a simple black dress, signed all the paperwork with the lawyer there, only mom and siblings were there as well as hubby's parents and siblings, a couple of speeches were made we ate and that was it, food was as follows: appetizer: couple decorated pieces of sushi, main course was teriyaki chicken and salad and dessert was a cluster of mini Cinnamon in a decorative plate, lol, then everyone left and we carried on, oh and I made my own cake because I always wanted to try messing with fondant
My wedding was cheap because I was moving and I preferred to spend money on starting up than impressing any of them bitches
