    If it’s expected, you have a circle of friends that do not really align with your idea of a good life. Sounds harsh, but please, I’ve been to fun weddings that were had at maybe 3k€ and nobody left hungry or thirsty and the close family guests from far away were even booked rooms nearby.

      I won’t say that’s impossible but claims like that need a year, country, and count of guests.

          Ok, I can see that pricepoint with those metrics.

          In my wedding culture (African), a small wedding has 60 guests, and a respectable one cracks 100. If you’re doing that anywhere in the West, you’re racking up a charge even if you’re trying to be frugal.

          But it also doesn’t feel good for many people to have to scrimp and save on one of the few big social events of adult life, besides the funeral.
