Did you have a big wedding or are you planning to? How much is the budget? Please consider all things such as rings, dress, bridesmaids, catering, cakes, photographer... Where would your priorities lie if you do/did it again? HELP!

Yes having a big wedding feels good but it does cost a lot of money.

You are asking the wrong person here as I am opposed to those big fancy wedding, We had a very small wedding and it was raining on top of that, but as it turned out, we have been together for decades and still happy,

I had a small wedding myself but I don't mind others have a big wedding as long as they can afford it without getting into huge debts.

Sir, there is a lot of wedding ceremony in our India, which is different for every community. In our India, Hindu wedding rituals are more like Mehdi, Turmeric, Engagement, Bahubhoj, there are many for them all. A new style of make-up on the ceremony has to be maintained

It is showoff only. Decades ago only rich people expend on marriage but common people also came to the race of show off .

I had a very small wedding. My sister however had a $17,000 wedding-which is lower priced than some weddings! I'm a photographer but I charge prices almost any budget could afford to be a blessing!

My wedding was a beautiful ceremony on the beach at sunset in Cozumel, Mexico. I bought the dress here in the US and the rings were pricey but everything else was pretty cheap since it was all Mexican prices.
