Hah, good excuse. I might just use that one myself!

I believe my parents' wedding was put together on a month's notice and on a budget of about $300 - they had to have money for gas to get to my father's school after the wedding, after all...

Other than my wife's dress and the tuxedos and dresses, we spent less than $1,000 for our wedding, including the reception.

'Course we never paid for the pictures...

Heh...my Dad got married in a two dollar suit he got at a Salvation Army store...my Mom in a white dress that Grandma altered to make kinda wedding-ish. The reception was in front of my Mom's parents' garage.

Not a really fancy wedding by any account. ;-) She had two younger sisters who had just had HUGE fancy weddings, and she didn't want the fuss. I think her parents didn't mind much...

Incidentally, both of the other sisters later divorced and remarried. So much for the big fancy weddings.
