It's your wedding. You (and your parents) pay. If you can't afford a big wedding, have a small one. If you can't afford the Rimrock in Canmore, rent a community hall in Calgary. If you can't afford high-end catering, get cheap catering. If you can't afford catering, do a potluck. Weddings are as cheap or expensive as you want them to be.

If you can't afford to go then simple - you don't go. Again why is someones wedding about the guests? I don't get it.
