Drinks were basic stuff like water, malta, ginseng, peardrax for toasting and apple j (no alcoholic bevs whatsoever). We had desert, a two tier cake, photography, videography, decor (with real fountain, real plants, real flowers, center pieces, christmas tree lights and lots of drapes), projector with screen, 2 limos, a professional MC, DJ, a live singer, printed invitations and programs.
We had no drone technology then and we did not use fog machines, disco lights or pyrotechnics.
The cost including the facility (located in the north west) which gave us tables, chairs and access to a trolley to tote stuff did not cross $130k. My wife might remember better (you know their memory doh forget certain details). If you include the outfits for the bride/groom, the wedding rings and the honeymoon (1 week all inclusive at a regional destination), I'm guessing the grand total would not pass $190k
Now, I do have regrets. If I had it completely my way, I would have been at least a 100 grand richer today.
1. More than half your guest list you really don't care about and vice versa. People accept because they want to macco
2. I observed a lot of wastage
3. Those who did not make it into the 350 list tote feelings, some up to this very day
4. We had a gift registry and I dont mean to sound bad but it have some guests who came and drink/eat they belly full and purchased silly little stuff that was not even on the list. Some came and ain't even buy we a lil gift self but I know this point can stir controversy.
All in all, after the dust settles, you ask yourself, was it worth it? All the fan fare, the glitz and glam etc. What was all that about? I prefer a dinner with immediate families in a small cozy environment and call that a wrap. It's done and I'm not repeating it at all.

usually in a wedding at least 2/3rds of the guests are filler for parents, showing off etc
a wedding photographer once told me he does laugh because of the money he does make, 99% of the snaps are never really looked at except initially. A wedding only really consists of 10 snaps or so.agent007 wrote:I tied the knot 9 yrs ago. 350 people was the size of the guest list. We had Chinese food and Indian food.
