How expensive is a wedding ceremony for a middle class family at you community?

Well, you're in luck if you live in my community because we don't have any expensive facilities for receptions here so it's either the church hall or at someone's home. My husband and I were married this past October. The ceremony took place in front of a flowering tree that his deceased mother loved and his brother provided the food...cooked on two large grills of course...and everything else that went with it. The beer was cold...the company was good...and, best of all, there was NO STRESS. I would put the price tag at less than $300.

Yes it is all the same and in my place which is in the Philippines we could have a good wedding reception if we have a budget of 100 thousand including the dress and the Ceremonial with a package of 200 guest........
