Our wedding cost us $4000. That was every last thing.

We got married by a celebrant in a park that was free to book. We hired a hall for the night for $120 and got $100 bond back so it actually only cost us $20 LOL. Our meal was provided by Aussie Spit Roast Caterers for $12 a head, and they were so professional. My MIL did all the flower arrangements and bonbomiers (sp) we had to give her money so she could buy the stuff to do it.

A close family friend had his own hire company and the time, so we got all the linen ware and tables and chairs from him and that cost us next to nothing. We had a few friends that loved photography, so we made 1 the official photographer for the day, and another the video camera guy. We also had disposable camera's on each table.

We kept our wedding party down to just 1 bridesmaide and groomsman, but had my 2 nephews as paige boys.

I made all of our own invitations, name cards for the tables etc etc. My flowers and my bridesmaid flowers were professionally done, and the most expensive thing was my wedding dress for $750 on a clearance rack. So yeah out of $4000, $750 of that was dress alone.

Andrews aunt still to this day claims it was one of the best weddings she has ever been to, and that is even saying that after her own children got married. She said it was not over the top and really down to earth and lovely.
