It's nice to make a memorable wedding, but that's very well possible without spending a fortune.
I myself had a simple wedding that didn't cost very much. I just don't see the point in spending a lot of money on a wedding that lasts a few hours when I could use the money for something better instead, like on the home or the future.
My sister's first wedding was huge and expensive and her second wedding was simple and didn't cost very much and I really think it wasn't necessary to spend so much money like they did in the first wedding. Her second, cheaper wedding was beautiful too, even nicer than the first one.
So it's not really important to spend much money on it, it can be cheap and yet beautiful and memorable. Just do whatever you feel is right for you, spend what you are ready to spend for it. :)

I just spent $10,000 to pay off the deposits and not have the wedding I was planning (he broke it off.) I would pay three times that for my actual wedding. It's not about what you spend but what you do to make it special. It will be soooo worth it when I get married!!
By the way, I have plenty saved for the future, so please don't think that I would spend my savings on this. That is so much more important. If I had to make a choice, I would pick saving for the future. I am just lucky that I don't have to choose between the two.

I just got married a month ago and we had a very memorable wedding for CHEAP. In fact, we got tons of compliments on it and people were saying they had wished that their wedding was like ours. It was a simple outdoor ceremony and we rented tents (in case of rain) and tables and white chairs. We did our own music without an obnoxious DJ using the computer and family helped us with the food. My mom got beautiful tablecloths for $3.35 a piece at Linens n Things on sale and we did our own centerpieces with live plants (so folks could take them home) and glass candleholders... once again for cheap! We LOVED our wedding and the money that was saved is being saved for our lives together instead of blowing it all on one day that will flash before your eyes!

It hasn't been a once in a lifetime event for decades. Its stupid to spend all that money on an event that's only going to last a few hours.
Practice this phrase: What time is traffic court over so we can get hitched?

I am planing on a small wedding and a future. If I wanted to take a bunch of people out for dinner then I would.

I went all out!! I plan to do it right the first time b/c I want it to last. If something happens bad though in the relationship and he leaves--at least I will have a great memory to hold onto. Plus I probably would never remarry again--but if I did it would probably not be as lavish.

If you start life together out being extravagant, you will probably always be in debt. What an unhappy way to live! Much better to have an affordable wedding and own your paychecks. : )

I would go with something simple, affordable. Just because it's low-key doesn't mean it can't be elegant and memorable.

I would spend as much as I can afford
