Do any of you regret spending a lot of money on your wedding?

Sometimes but we have been very smart all the way and are tracking under budget with all major vendors booked

FWIW, OP-- the night before my wedding, I was doing the math, thinking, "We're paying $X for 6 hours?! That's ridiculous!" but I've been married 18 years, so now the price is divided by all the years I've gotten to remember it.

Of course, my friend who dropped over $40k on her wedding (really, her parents did, and it was cause her mom wanted all the bells and whistles) and got divorced four years later-- I bet she (and her parents) regret it.

I totally regret dropping the amount of money we are. If we hadn't put down so much money already I would have changed plans and reverted to my original plan of a city hall wedding. We can afford it but we also want a house and $25k is a lot of money to not put towards a downpayment. This is with a lot of dyi, a lot of negotiating for deals, and a guestlist of only 55 people. So the regret is that for a $100k downpayment we really could have used this $25k and bought a house one or two years sooner. I'm told it'll be worth it but we'll see.

I honestly try not to think about it because I get sad about it. My FH is pretty much paying for everything. I'm helping by buying decor and all that mess (I'm trying to pay down my debt before the big day). Anyway! My FH has had this little beat up car that he should have gotten rid of awhile ago. Every time I see an invoice I think about how he could have had a new car by now. Or the fact that we could have gone to Disneyland like 5 times already. I'm excited for the wedding but as you get older you put things in perspective when it comes to money.

@Boozybaker...THANK YOU. We opted to do a small event for a small budget. We are spending almost twice as much on travel this year and also hoping to live on one salary and saving the other for when we decide to start a family. We have a modest condo and hopefully can drive our Honda's to their grave. I still feel guilty about spending so much on a photographer, but she is an artist and is worth every penny. Sometimes I feel like there is something wrong with me for not wanting a huge production. They are lovely, but not for us.
