i was married in 2001. we had approx 190 guests and i believe the total was around $18,000 (we were aiming around 16 but it got up to 18 in the last few days). of that my wife and i paid about 1/2 of it, her folks paid about 1/4 and my parents the remaining 1/4. looking back it was worth every penny, we have great memories from that day.
