I got married in 1975 and spent very little. We live in Australia but our families are in England. We were supposed to drive with friends to Perth but he dinged the car and wrecked the radiator. We made up our minds on the spot, applied and got married one week later at the register office in Sydney. We had 2 witnesses who were our only friends who hadn't gone away on holiday. (We were teachers.) I spent $16 on a suit at a chain store, we asked a passerby to take a photo in the park and we had a couple of drinks in a bar at the Hilton Hotel. We borrowed a tent and went camping. (Unfortunately it poured and we didn't stay long.) We've been married 37 years.
On the other hand, my cousin's family paid a fortune for her wedding and it was over in less than a year - I never even got to see the photos.
