most of my friends had small cheap marriages in local venues.
my two siblings did not. they had very expensive destination weddings. I didn’t even go to my brothers because I couldn’t afford to spend $5,000 to go to a wedding for 3 days and he has never forgiven me for it. I was 23 and made 20K a year… lol
when i date all i meet is women who think 50K is a minimum spend on a wedding. and they are clear the point is to impress other people and make them jealous, especially the people who aren’t invited like their rival from high school or something.
memes aside everyone has to decide for themselves what is acceptable and mine was not at a courthouse
full disclosure l, i think mine was under 5k and most of that was the food which i very much enjoyed
that said better to not get married than to do so with a woman that expects extravagance outside your means
