1991, and no idea.
It was the last part of my life paid for by my parents.
About ninety bucks, for the license.
Getting married at the height of Covid had a lot of drawbacks, but not being able to invite anyone sure kept the wedding costs down.
I guess a corollary thread could be: “Do you regret how much you spent on your wedding?” This could go either way…the el cheapo wedding (like mine, which I don’t regret for a minute) or the super expensive wedding which may or may not involve regrets.
If I had to do it again I would expend about 200 dollars and invite everybody to an asado at my home, something I couldn’t do in 2003 because I didn’t have the money, the asado making skills (I still don’t but my wife learned amazingly fast once she got her hands in our new parrilla) or the home (I lived in an appartment).
That said, I do not regret my cheap wedding, it was beautiful (specially my wife!) and everybody had a blast.
1990 maybe $500, we were both broke university students.
Wedding at local park; only invited parents, siblings and grandparents; reception was at my parents home; maybe a $100 for fabric, my mother and wife are both fine seamstresses; $100 for cake; $200 for flowers; $100 for officiating; And just basic wedding bands
35 years later and we are still married, so pretty good return on investment.
When you count the sunken jet ski and the $20k of damage to the pontoon boat, pretty sure my wedding to Laura (first wife) easily exceeded $50k. The harpist alone was $1k. 1994 wedding.
I didn’t spend this, of course. My parents did.
Regardless, not including the damage, I ‘just’ put $10k-$50k.
That’s a big advantage for having a wedding in a nonstandard venue. We had our daughter’s at a city park, and got a couple of cases of wine from the local BevMo and had the caterer pour it for a lot less than it would have been at a restaurant. We’re drinking that type of wine to this very day.
