We spent $25k on a renewal of vows at the Wynn in 2005. We had just made a killing on selling our house, so I went the extra mile and it was totally worth it.
It was a small ceremony and had 25 people there, however like I said it was a renewal of vows, so our children were part of it too and it made it extra special.
It's all in the timing. If you can't do it big at first like we couldn't, have a small courthouse wedding or something like that (we did the chapel on the LV strip since we lived there at the time) and then have a crazy party or celebrate it years later when you still love each other and maybe have more money.
