My parents wedding in 1940 cost under $50.00 including paying the minister. They are still happily married, with children and grand children and in much in love today as the day they were married.

They have not missed out on anything in live that is worthwhile.

I guess it's all in having the proper values!

My wife and I were married in the mid-70s. The wedding cost around $150, and most of that was for a dinner-reception for the immediate family only. Her uncle was the minster and we used his church. The ceremony took about 15 minutes. My uncle was the photographer. She had a friend make her wedding dress at low cost. I wore a sport jacket and slacks.

30 years, 7 kids, and 5 grandkids later it's still going strong.

That’s about what mine cost – including the license fee.
Fortunately neither set of parents were close enough to influence the wedding.
