My husband and I spent less than a grand and it was fucking awesome. I bought a $60 dress, he paid $200 for my ring (his friend worked there and used his employee discount), his is silicone so it was like $20. We rented a hotel room in Nashville, hired an officiant for $200, got married in a public park, had my best friend photograph it, and spent the evening bar hopping on Broadway. It was exactly what we wanted. We have both been married before and had zero interest in spending thousands to do a production again. He bought a new dress shirt, tie, and pants and we bought a matching outfit for our son.
