Our wedding was just under 19K for 140 guests in NYC and our 21 day European honeymoon was just around 7K including airfare.
I think we did pretty good!

Wedding was 8k for about 100 people and honeymoon I don't remember! It was a week cruise to Alaska and a few days in Seattle.

Around 5-6k which included the hall, dinner for 160ish guests, invites, alcohol, dress, rehearsal. It was perfect and no one went into debt over it, which is awesome!

Wedding was less than $5k. Honeymoon was probably more expensive
see where our priorities were

We had about 100 guest at a Vegas destination wedding. Didn't go on a honeymoon, most expensive was reception food/alcohol. I think it was between 10-15K.

Wedding/rehearsal dinner was just under 30k. We didn't pay for our honeymoon, it was MIL's wedding gift to us - if we had paid for it, it would have been another $10k or so.

We did a finger-food type reception, with no alcohol, and the venue for ceremony and reception was free because my parents worked for a church. I also did as much myself as I could. It came in something like 4k, and it could have been cheaper. We also didn't take a honeymoon that year because DH had just started a new job and didn't have enough time off, so I don't include that.

About 12k including the honeymoon and rings (but not my engagement ring). We got married in his back yard!

@mrs. bird: We skipped flowers, made our center prices, no favors...the things people wouldn't and didn't even notice
We knew the DJ and caterer so that helped.

I want to say $5k or less...I can't remember all the specifics.
Rehearsal dinner consisted of pizza and beer/pop so it was around $100
Wedding was no more than $3k total....lots of ebay and amazon hahaha
And our Honeymoon was paid for by my inlaws as our gift and it was 5 days 6 nights in Vegas.

No honeymoon.

I think that we were at 30k or so for 100 guests not including honeymoon. Our honeymoon was probably less than 2k because our hotel was comped through DH's hotel points.

Wow, you all are rock stars! Ours was 30ish if you include the honeymoon we took a year later.

My dress cost $4000, the reception was over $20000 and we had to include airfare to the US, back home then to Nice. I had to have letterpress invites and our photog wasn't cheap, yikes...I might have to change my vote!
Eta: also no debt, everything paid in cash.

Ours was $30, which was the cost of the marriage license. We just went to the courthouse. No guests. We wore clothes we already had. We didn't exchange rings.

5K for Jamaican honeymoon....20K for wedding/reception for 515 people (before the freakouts, this is very common number of people for my area invited to the reception!)

It wasless than $500 We decided to get married a few days before the wedding, the only expenses were my dress (off the rack from David's Bridal) and the pastor. It was at DH's uncle's house, there was no meal, and his aunt made our cake. And we didn't have a honeymoon. And it was lovely
Our two year anniversary is actually next Tuesday.

We had our wedding reception at a museum, a full bar, and a very expensive caterer (which was the only one allowed to provide food at this venue). Overall, the price was probably excessive, but it's a once-in-a-lifetime moment, so no regrets.

Our wedding was in the bay area, 70 or so guests, live band, honeymooned in Hawaii for two weeks--just a little over 20K.
