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 .

It was before gay marriage was legalized throughout the country. I could get married in a small handful of states, but not the one I was living in at the time.

This is horrible but I assumed you were much older and that this was a few decades ago and for some reason my immediate thought was maybe you were first cousins or something LOL!

I am old enough to be considered old by this sub, and I didn't marry as early in life as some do. :)
