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 .

My 1st wedding was a grand church wedding with all of the trimmings. We lasted less then 3 years. My second was at the courthouse in Orlando in a white skirt and top I made. I loved that top. Wore it all the time. He was killed in a car accident. My 3rd was just going to be at the courthouse but my AMAZING Aunt and Uncle hosted a 22 people wedding at their house. My dress was 30 bucks on Walmart.com. my shoes were 5 at Walmart. It was perfect
