Cost of wedding, does this sound ok/normal/ridiculous/rip-off/stop moaning Ian etc?

I only got married in May this year and i made it the best day of my wife's life, so far. I will not go in to detail of the cost of it all but it was big. We set a budget for the wedding and i think it was doubled in the end.
As what has been said before, everyone is different and has different budgets. A lot of the advice on here is meaningless as you know what you can afford or what you are willing to pay. As long as you are married and start the visa process rolling, is that not what really counts.
As Lastlid's wife says 1k - 50k, there is no set price as we are all different.

Yes, I suppose its like buying a car. On the one hand a Smart car might be enough or on the other a Ferrari. Depends on your taste and budget and priorities.

Depends on our taste and budget and priorities.

and some people like to squeeze every last penny out of you .... if you let them
