Mine was about $2,000. $600 for the dress, $500 for the photographer, and I guess around $1,000 for the rest. We had the wedding and reception at a small bed and breakfast that supplied the caterers. Our cake was made by a Mexican baker who had done lots of quinceañeras, and while the decoration came out different than I wanted (probably due to the communication barrier) it was still beautiful and delicious. The reception was in the afternoon so we had drinks and hors d'oeuvres instead of a full meal. The ex and I were both introverts so we only had I think around 30 guests, mostly family members. There was a champagne toast, but we didn't have an open bar.

We definitely were going for a budget wedding. It was rushed, too, because I found out I was pregnant a few months after we got engaged. It turned into a bit of a shotgun wedding to get on his insurance for the pregnancy. We pulled it off in just two months from when the pregnancy was discovered. It was good to only have two months of wedding planning stress, but I would not recommend a shotgun wedding, personally, nor do I recommend getting knocked up before the deal is sealed.
