in Chit-Chat
How old are you, when did you get married and how much did your wedding cost (please provide the country so I can convert to a standard currency). I have a theory which I want to prove or disprove, I'll post my theory and whether it has been proven or disproved when replies stop. Thanks!

    67........1978..........including the rings? About 200 bucks. :) It was just us and the minister. I live in the U.S.
    And except for the years we lived apart(about 12 of them) we're still trying to make it work.

    I’m 34, got married in 2013 and it cost us $35. We had a court house marriage. Our reception cost $60 as it was just us that went out to eat. No one knew that we got married. We got married in CA

    I'm 62. Been married 40 years. We paid $10 for the license, $20 to the minister & $20 to have the church cleaned afterward. Her mom made the dress, her sister made the cake & punch for the reception in the church basement, her brother took the pictures and our sister-in-law took care of the flowers (all were their wedding gifts to us). My tux cost $40. I paid $30 for the 3 three foot sub sandwiches and soda for our rehearsal dinner. So all totaled it cost us about $120 dollars. Times were different back in 1980 out here in boondocks!

    2. Married in 2007 (so nearly 14 years now).
    3. Less than $2000. We did not marry in a church, I refused to buy a wedding dress and all the money was pooled together from my entire family who insisted we have some sort of ceremony before I moved to a completely new state. We had maybe 50 - 75 people, amassed most of our resources from family and self-catered. No honeymoon.

    I was rereading and I see you asked “how old are you” not how old were you. I was thinking wow so many married older.

    It's you who insisted on the 5☆ hotel and 5 courses for the reception. I wanted mcds 😤

    But it was you who kept eating our wedding (onion) rings. I bet that was 25k alone.

    Mine may not count because I never had a traditional wedding.

    I'm 44 and was last married in 2013 (age 36).
    Eloped from MO to CO and the whole trip was around $1,000 USD

    At age 25 (2002) I was married for the first time and had a very small wedding at a B&B for approx. $3,000 USD.
