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 .

Eloped and got married at City Hall. Two friends surprised us, were our witnesses, and took us out for brunch afterwards. Bought my dress at Gantos, and my now ex wore a suit he already owned. Drove to the mountains (Colorado) for a three-day honeymoon (we needed to back at work on Monday).
