Background: FH and I are 28 & 27 (will be 30 & 28 at the time of the wedding). We've been together for 9 years and have lived together around 6. He owns his own business and I have a very stable, decent paying job.
Financially, we live a very comfortable life. Not wealthy by any means, but we also don't really have to think about money. But, I dont want to go hog wild with the wedding, I want to keep the amount of money controlled and reasonable. We live in a relatively low cost of living area- I'd say an average wedding here is $15-20k, so I'm not talking about going into the 6 figure range, but we still don't need to be wasting money. We didn't spend years making careful financial decisions just to throw it all away on a wedding.
How did you pick your ballpark number of how much you wanted to spend total? Was it based on how much you currently have, your income levels, what you could afford monthly, etc?
