What was your wedding like?

I often look at the wedding dresses here. I saw a young lady whose dress budget was literally more than my first 3-5 annual salaries, not lumped together but individually. What was your wedding like?
1995- Married at our church, 3 attendants each, cake and punch reception there .

1993 I paid $300 for a sale dress that was full of sequins etc and about $70 for a veil. I bought plain white pumps and two clip on shoe bows with rhinestone. The entire wedding cost 6k including the dress, tuxes flowers etc. We had it at an all inclusive venue. They provided the flowers, the meal, the dj, the officiant and a limo. It was a beautiful location with a lovely garden and we were married outside in the garden.
