I'm getting married in August and am very excited about our plans. We decided to take a cruise with our friends & family, get married at one of the cruise ports at a nice location and then feed all the guests brunch and champagne. This way we end up spending 5 days with everyone instead of just 1 whirlwind day. This cut down the guest list to the people who love us enough to spend money on a cruise and to spend 5 days with us, and has made it so much more special.
In the end we'll have spent just at $10K for flights, cruise expense, wedding location and decor and other misc like transport from the dock to the location, rings and attire, photographer and music, and a brunch reception for 50 people.
I feel like I've managed to arrange an awesome wedding and vacation for a bargain price.
