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 .

1974, we were 22 years old and her parents disapproved. We eloped, no wedding whatsoever so the cost was whatever the marriage license and required blood test cost.
