I'm 20 and dreaming of the perfect wedding. I just need someone to marry first, but I was just curious how expensive are they?

I'm planning my wedding right now... getting married AUgust 15th, 2009. Our budget is $10,000.00 which is a TON to us, but we are doing a very small and relaxed reception and not doing a dinner. We had to cut a lot of things to fit our budget. I never thought it would be this expensive. Biggest surprise I've had? The tables and chairs we're renting are costing us $1,200.00!! for tables... and chairs... craziness.0

My Wedding day to a she devil cost £10,000 for the day and the honeymoon, then 2 years later a broken heart, sorry having a bad day today emotionally speaking.
Sorry i am usually a fun lovin guy lol0 -
jeez!!!! is that including the table clothes, the utensils and the fancy decor?0

Got married 25 years ago (come August) by a Justice of the Peace in my sister's house--cost was $10 for the license and $30 for the Justice of the Peace.
Total--$45.
It's lasted 25 years, which is longer than many who spend thousands and thousands. My brother's cost almost $20,000 and lasted less than a year.0 -
aww poor albert! didnt mean to bring up bad memories0

nope, that is for 100 white chairs, 8 round tables, 3 rectangular tables, and 2 chill tables (you fill them with ice and put drinks in them). It does include delivery though. OUr Honeymoon is going to cost us an additional 6-10,000 $$
weddings are a money grab... but I still want one. :laugh:0 -
what about the dress? or did you already have it in your closet?0

No you didn't, it's a 3 month old wound and i've been thinking about the she devil alot the past week or so, I have ups and down, and i'm in a bit of a down at the mo as you can tell lol0 -
I got my dress at a local department store--wasn't white but was just a nice dress and something that I could use more than once, if you know what I mean.
Hubby wore his Navy dress whites.0 -

forgive my ignorance but why worry now?
like you said you have to find someone first
:huh:0 -
do you just save up for them? or do you have to take out a loan?0
-
I saved, I expet most people do, doesn't make sence getting a loan for it, its a start on the wrong foot having a debt.0
-
Some people do take out loans but thats the worst idea I've ever heard. we have some saved for it. we've got about 6000 set aside right now and another year to save the rest. Our parents are going to help us where they can but we are doing the bulk of it.0

My wedding cost at least $15,000, and that was after telling my ex...and yes 3 years later that is EX wife no to many things. (:grumble: why I ever married her I will never know!)
I would do it again if I fell for the right person though :ohwell: ... what can I say...I'm a hopeless romantic:blushing:

I was just curious because I have a boyfriend and we always talk about marriage, but hes broke!0

all this talk of Exes is depressing me! shush guys. 40-50% of marriages are successful.... thats FOREVER. so while there is a big change of a marriage not working out, there is also a big chance that it will work out. And while nobody goes into a marriage thinking it will end in divorce, I am POSITIVE that mine will not... maybe I am being naive but I can still say that I am sure. and I would happily spend my $10,000 to begin that new life.
My fiance and I have lived together for over a year now and been together for 4 1/2 years total so it's not like we're rushing in
If we're gonna be negative, someone's gotta show us the flip side. lots on MFP have been happily married for many many years :drinker: 0 -

Got married two months ago at the courthouse. $35 plus a "tip" to the judge...then of course the copies of the certificate....all and all, less than $50. O, and I made my own announcements, and that totaled less than $50 as well! I have no regrets!0 -

Think I already have--like I said, almost 25 years and counting for us.0 -
Good Attitude!
They say you might end up like your parents' relationship (whether it be good or bad). My parents were married for 25 years and then my mom ran away!0 -
sorry to let my bitter heart spil out a little lol I was with my wife a total of 4 years, and didn't live together before getting married, ( was a christian in those days). That fact that you have been together a while and lived together mines you'll make it kerrilucko I'd wish you good luck, but you don't need it

We had a budget of $10k. I did all of my wedding stuff (place settings, favors, etc.) myself. I think we ended up spending $10k to $12k.0

well i did say I would do it again if I fell for the right person didn't I?!?!
Maybe some of us are just sad and still a little disappointed and dare I say devastated that such a huge committment was made on our parts but the other person failed to hold up their end.
Didn't mean to put a damper on those of you who are excited about getting married. It should be a very happy time and is worth whatever money you choose to put into it. It is the beginning of a what everyone hopes to be a wonderful life together and is worth celebrating in whatever way you really want to.
I'll keep my ex posts to myself from now on
Sorry!

haha I hope that saying isn't true! My parents were married 28 years when my dad cheated on my mom then left her for the other woman! Havn't heard from him since.... but then again my fiance is a LOT different than my dad. lol :laugh:0 -

Haha, no don't keep them to yourself! I was just pointing out that there is a flip side there as well. We tend, I think, to hear more about the marriages that end in divorce than the ones that never do... which is really kind of sad, considering there are close to the same number of each! :flowerforyou:0 -
what is a fair price for an engagement ring?0

Wow..I couldn't imagine spending a ton of money for one day! One of my sisters spend a hoopla of $$ on her wedding...two years later..divorced! We were going to have a good sized wedding( I have a HUGE italian family!!) but then half way through the planning things were getting a little nutty money wise. We already had a baby so most of our money went to diapers and formula..all that stuff. We ended up eloping on our honeymoon..if that makes any sense! We had our tickets to Disney ..where we would spend a week after the wedding..and ended up just going down there and getting married! It was perfect! I had my dress ( which was just a white dress from Filene's during promtime..less than a hundred bucks!) and limo, Got married in Lou Gardens ( It rained so we ended up having it inside) and then went to downtown disney to Portafino's for dinner and my wedding cake. Had about ten people total..and made photo albums and video of our vows for all our relatives up here. When we came back we had a big party afterwards! I got married at 19 and this year we will be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary!! So believe me... you don't have to have a lot of money if you don't want to..to have a good time! I do understand how some girls want the big cinderella wedding.. just not me I guess...saw cinderella AFTER my wedding at disney hahahhaaa!!! Congratulations and I hope you have a wonderful wedding day !! 0
