Here's the alternative:

  • Justice of the Peace ceremony: $43 (including license, supply your own witnesses)
  • session at photography studio: $13-$500 (including prints and downloads)
  • BYOB party at your place that evening: $0

Basically, finding out your partner wants a big wedding is a huge go/no-go moment. Save the money for when you really need it.

My wife and I were planning our wedding a year from then when I got a job offer to the US and we had to get married in a hurry to avoid some issues with the visas.

Best decision ever, we had a small party at my SIL patio, my parents got us tacos catering, a friend of my wife who has won some iPod battles was or "DJ" and we got some cheap wines at costco and told people to BYOB

We only had to rent some chairs and tables but it wasn't very expensive

We were planning to celebrate our 1st anniversary doing a "wedding" party but we decided to use the money to travel 3 weeks to Japan instead
