To each their own I guess.
But we spent $15k on our wedding and the only part where we wished we didn't spend as much on was the limo. We got a hummer limo but we had to since our wedding party was quite large. Everything else was money well spent.
I highly recommend an open bar. I thought there would be tons of waste with an open bar but that was not the case at all. I've been to weddings with toonie bars and find even though its only $2, people don't do as many shots. At our wedding, since booze was completely free, people were doing Jagger bombs like it was going out of style.

Geez, when you put it like that.
But really, what I want is a happy life with my family. I think a paid-for house, no debt, as much personal time as possible and early retirement are the best ways to achieve that goal.
My advice in these threads is always with the above strategy in mind, which I think helps lead to a happy marriage. Plus, if things go sideways in your life (illness, injury, losing a job, etc.), it's best not to be too far leveraged.
