Hello no. When we got married, it was my first marriage, at age 48 and his third. I think all told, our wedding cost less than about $2500. That was in 2001. He already had a "good" suit, my dress cost about $150 the rest was the actual wedding costs..invitations (which I made myself, postage, wedding venue. We got married and had reception at a hotel banquet room. The hotel comped out hotel room as part of package. We had buffet dinner, open bar all evening and the cost of the JP who married us. A friend of my maid of honor did the pictures for free, just asked if she could keep the picks on a thumb drive as part of her portfolio, as she was a photography major.
Then turned out not costing us anything except for my dress and the cake. My brother paid for it as his gift. He is 15 years older than me and took on the Father of the Bride role at my request
ETA...flowers were in that cost too
