I got married in a courthouse. The judge still insisted on doing a ring exchange because some family showed up.
She had a ring with emeralds which was way less expensive but meant something to us, my birth stone. I didn't have a ring at all, so he grabbed a rubber band from his desk and we used that.
We had no wedding, but to satisfy everyone we still had a reception. We rented a building that allowed alcohol for $50. Had some friends bartend for tips only and bought a bunch of booze, beer, wine on our own. We also hired a DJ for like $200-$300. Crock-Pot food. Family friend gave us a deal on cupcakes and a small cake.
All together I think we spent around $1,500 on all this, ring included. We couldn't afford anything else and anyway big showy weddings weren't for us. Still happily married getting close to our 20th anniversary.
Congratulations on 20 years, my wife and I hit that milestone just last year.
When we got married I had nothing, we had no rings, my nicest shirt (that I was planning on wearing to the courthouse) didn't even have sleeves. My wife's sister insisted on at least slightly better clothes and bought me a short sleeve button up shirt from Walmart.
We got a set of engraved silver rings for like $30 a few months later when we could afford them. Even though we've talked about getting nicer rings, I think I'll be wearing this one forever... Plain and cheap, but means more than any other possession I'll ever have.
Awesome start, AND 20 years together doesn't happen by accident.
