We got married 2 years ago here in Guatemala, we invited 400 people and we spent about $22,000.00 in the reception, including the garden, church, decorations, music, food and liquors.
About $2K in the wedding dress and my tuxedo rental ($50).
$400 for the suite where we spent the wedding night.
$9,000 for the honey moon
$600 for the photographer
$2,500 for the wedding rings (mine was 300)
What we did with my wife, was that when we got engaged we decided to make a wedding found, every month we both had to deposit $1000.00 in a savings account, we were engaged for exactly 1 year prior to the wedding. Our parents only paid for the reception costs of the people they wanted to invite and that wasn't friends of ours (between my parents and hers they invited over 70 persons) and all the costs of the wedding rings, honeymoon and wedding dress were my responsability. She paid for the make up artist, the photographer and video guys.
Was it worth it? Hell yeah! at first i didn't even wanted a reception, but seeing how excited she was i couldn't but go ahead with the big wedding. Anyway, i would never done it if we would't have made the down payment for the apartment where we live now before we even started plannig the reception, one gets married once in a lifetime, so it better be good!
