A friend had a wedding on his dime. But he did it in an clever way. They rented a paddle wheel boat on the Napa River for the reception. It was unique and fun, and they had a lot of Coast Guard people in attendance who like boats anyway. Also, instead of hiring a photographer, they had disposable cameras on every table. Although all the pictures were taken by amateurs, by sheer quantity they got plenty of good shots. It made for a very memorable day.
Another person I knew got married at the Santa Barbara Courthouse. That's very low budget, but very beautiful. Then the reception was at a parent's house.
So there's some very classy places to tie the knot. Be innovative, make it memorable and save your money for important stuff later.
