I haven't paid for a wedding, and am not going to be any time in the near future.
However, I'm sure your daughter had envisioned something since she was a little girl. What I would do is probe the happy couple of what they would like, then look at how much it's going to cost.
Overall it's tough to gauge, some people want a small wedding, some big. Some want a home town wedding, some down south, some travel somewhere nice or picturesque.
Best tip I can suggest is get a good emcee for the reception.
That said, I'm willing to do it for free. I just ask for airfare, hotel, meals and alcohol supplied along with two ticket to either the Flames or Stampeders depending on the time of year.
Seriously, free emcee! Right there, expense taken care of!
