    Did you mean you were 25 when you got married or were you really 13 when you got married?

    I’m 36 and got married in 2010..... my wedding was around 45-50k not including the honeymoons.... I’m in the US 😁

    Somebody is expensive 🤑

    I like the idea of multiple honeymoons. Wish I would have thought of that when I got married.

    Completely. We did non-traditional for ours (Canadien Rockies). We could have also done traditional and just had two. Oh the naivety of youth, lol.

    This seems like a bargain. MFP wives are superior.

    Hi I got married in 2013, 8 years ago at age 51. It cost about £450 including ring, dress which was a beautiful vintage short 50s style which cost £50 and a small family gathering at home after. It was a lovely day and didn't cost the earth. I am in UK.

    The theory, actually a hypothesis, may be the younger you are the more (maybe less) you spend on weddings?

    100% would be able to spend more if my husband and I would have waited to get married, but 100% would have done a super small destination wedding and spent less if we were to redo it. I hated people looking at me and was really overwhelmed by the event.

    Was 25 when married in 2011. Not including rings, wedding and honeymoon was about $10k US.

    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!

    I'm 30. Got married in 2020. It cost $50 in the US.

    Now 51
    Together since 1990, married in 2015
    Cost: around 5.000€ (+-5.800USD) for a reception and then a bbq with family and close friends.
    We were travelling a lot back then, the honeymoon was nothing special.
    And yes, we waited for 25 years - long story :lol:
