    Just FYI, a lot of people aren't comfortable sharing this.

    I'm spending around 12k.

    We spent around $25k to $30k plus honeymoon ($15,000) plus rings ($23000).

    We didn't have to spend that much but chose to. We are established adults and saved to have the wedding we wanted.

    This can be a touchy subject and it depends on many many things like the location and guest count. We are hoping to spend less than 13k but we are already at 4k that's only for the venue and a photographer.

    We are spending close to 7k. We are having a small wedding but have a lot of connections to have a less expensive wedding. If it werent for our connections, we probably would be spending close to 15k

    We have a guest list of 120 and our budget is $10,000. We are under actually as my mom is a florist and begged to do my flowers. Plus, we are waiting to do our honeymoon until December (wedding's in June).

    It really won't help you to find out what others have spent. It really depends on your area and what type of wedding you want.

    We are at $41k for venue and vendors. We are having about 170 guests. We'll probably spend another $10k - $15k on booze, attire, rings, etc. Then honeymoon is at $5k budget but I think we'll spend less. Oops! I'm in Northern CA getting married near Santa Cruz, CA.

    Wedding costs depend on a lot of variables. Not sure you'll really gain much from knowing this.

    Depends a ton on your location. I will be in the suburbs of Milwaukee WI and we'll be around $25,000 for 200 people. Our original budget was 20k but we'll be increasing it a bit to include appetizers and an extra hour of open bar.

    ETA: that doesn't include my engagement ring, the rehearsal dinner, or our honeymoon
