I'm planning a wedding and we're taking a decidedly non-traditional route. Because we both grew up on the internet, our friends are scattered across the seven continents. Having a wedding would mean most of them wouldn't be able to come. Our solution: courthouse wedding (cost of, whatever, the cost of a marriage license). Then, three or four parties in different parts of the world. Each one might set us back, oh, $500 or $1000 if we have to rent a cheap space or hire a DJ, but we'll supply some snacks and booze and let friends bring the rest. Total cost, including travel (because we can crash with friends once we're somewhere) will probably be $5,000 for several parties spaced out over several months, and everyone gets to celebrate with us. We also throw bangers, so this gives all our mates a night to remember, wherever they are.
