I got married at the courthouse (as cheap as you can get!!) but my sister had a nice wedding on a small budget. She shopped around for the dress, made her own veil, booked it at a church that held weddings for free (don't know the details on that one), and instead of having it the reception at a reception hall, had an informal gathering in my dad's backyard. She cooked most of the food herself (she's an excellent cook) and my stepmother and some of her friends pitched in with that as well. I don't think it has to be expensive to be nice and memorable.
