Here's the alternative:

  • Justice of the Peace ceremony: $43 (including license, supply your own witnesses)
  • session at photography studio: $13-$500 (including prints and downloads)
  • BYOB party at your place that evening: $0

Basically, finding out your partner wants a big wedding is a huge go/no-go moment. Save the money for when you really need it.

Yeehaw! A thirteen dollar photoshoot!

Photoshoot's free. The $13 is for the print you get.

You mock, but my grandparents only have a couple photos of the day they were married. But they did stick together all their lives, and they did raise their kids as best they could within their means.

I didn't realize you were referencing something from like 50-60 years ago. All in all, you make valid points... I have lived long enough to personally validate them. It was just the "thirteen to five hundred dollars" range that made me chuckle!
