I got married 3 years ago and we spent around $5000, which included the honeymoon. The most we spent on was food, which was catered by Whole Foods for around $1200 and my dress and veil for about $1000. The stuff we cheaped out on where 3 cakes from Costco for $60 (two wedding and one grooms), silver rings for $80 instead of gold and no alcohol. We had no alcohol because the reception was at the church's Parish Hall (which only cost $100 to rent for the day,) plus we are not drinkers anyway.
We went the cheap route as well, about $1000 for the wedding itself, $500 for clothing, $100 for the rings and the funny thing is: it was an awesome day. It had been raining days before the wedding day and they had forecast that even on our wedding day it would rain. But it didn't, it was a gorgeous day and if someone pushed a button, at the end of the day when everybody went home it started to rain. Afterwards we went on a 3 weeks honeymoon in France (Bordeaux) and although that had cost us a bit more (about $2700) I still feel homesick when I think about that vacation.
