\"wedding<\/a>The average cost to have a wedding is now $29,000<\/a>. That’s some serious dough – especially for couples looking to have a beautiful wedding and honeymoon for $5000 or less!<\/p>\n

I know getting married is supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime event, but is one night really<\/em><\/strong> worth $29,000? Where I live in central Iowa<\/a>, that’s enough money to put a down payment on a decent house!<\/p>\n

Obviously, how much you spend on a wedding<\/a> should depend on the financial situation of those who are paying for it, but should an average<\/em><\/strong> couple really be spending nearly $30,000 for one night of I dos? In our case, we decided that there were better ways for us to use that money.<\/p>\n

I recently planned, budgeted, and enjoyed a wonderful wedding with my beautiful bride, Sophie. We’re each in our early twenties<\/a>, so we had to think outside the box when planning our big day.<\/p>\n

Although we did a good job budgeting, we absolutely couldn’t have had the wedding we did without help and donations from our loving families, friends and even small business owners. Our budget went a lot farther than it should have because of them.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, our entire wedding and honeymoon ended up costing us less than $5000. I won’t to go into every detail, but here are a few examples of how we were able to stretch our wedding and honeymoon budget as far as we did:<\/p>\n

The reception hall.<\/strong> CNN Money notes that the biggest wedding expense is usually the venue. On average, newlyweds spent $12,905 on their reception hall — so we decided to focus on reducing that expense first. Thankfully, we were able to use our church’s sanctuary for both the ceremony and<\/em><\/strong> the reception for free — although we gave our church a donation. After the wedding was over, we converted the room into a reception hall.<\/p>\n

The rehearsal dinner.<\/strong> We had a local church member cater a pulled pork entree for our rehearsal dinner. We then saved even more by buying all of the side dishes from our local supermarket.<\/p>\n

Groomsmen apparel.<\/strong> Instead of asking my groomsmen to rent tuxedos, I had them all wear black dress pants and cream dress shirts.<\/p>\n

The groom’s apparel.<\/strong> I found a hand-me-down tux which I got for free. I then paid $40 to have it altered to fit me. What a steal!<\/p>\n

Decorations.<\/strong> Sophie did an outstanding job picking decorations that made a big impact for very little cost. She bought old picture frames from Goodwill for our back drop, and big balloons for along the aisle.<\/p>\n

Music.<\/strong> We asked a family friend to act as our DJ at the reception. For the songs, he simply installed a free 1-month trial to Spotify on his laptop.<\/p>\n

Refreshments.<\/strong> Instead of serving a full-course dinner at the reception, we only served dessert — ice cream catered from Cold Stone Creamery. Yum! (It didn’t hurt that the owner gave us an incredible discount because Sophie had previously worked for him there.)<\/p>\n

Photography.<\/strong> Sophie and I hired a professional photographer who was trying to get his business started — and since he had only one other wedding under his belt, we received an amazing deal. That was a real blessing to us. Here are a couple of photos from our wedding (click to enlarge<\/em>):\"\"<\/a>One more tip: It also helps to have plenty of willing volunteers out of our loving families and wonderful friends!<\/p>\n

By cutting costs on our wedding, we were able to save enough dough to pay for a week-long adventurous honeymoon<\/a> to Cancun.<\/p>\n

So you see, it is<\/em><\/strong> possible to have a beautiful wedding on a tight budget — although for some people, that may entail reconsidering their definition of a “perfect” wedding. For us, that meant having a nice, fun evening with our family and friends, where the focus of attention was on our commitment to each other and God’s blessing in our lives.<\/p>\n

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to argue that expensive weddings<\/a> are less honorable than financially modest ones. If you can truly afford a lavish wedding, great! However, I do want young people to understand how fast wedding costs can escalate, and show that it is<\/em><\/strong> possible to stick to an affordable budget and have both a wedding and<\/em><\/b> honeymoon for $5000 or less.<\/p>\n

Your wedding can be a day that you look back on with fondness as the beginning of a wonderful marriage. It can also be an event that you look back on as the beginning of years of debt and financial regret. The choice is yours.<\/p>\n
