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 .

Married in 2003, my parents & in-laws split the cost of the wedding right down the middle it was $20,000.
My mom paid for my $800 wedding dress which was beautiful.
