Ha! Less than $5.00 per year. Only catch is you have to be married 50+ years and started out broke Canon EOS 100D / EOS Rebel SL1 • EOS Rebel SL2 | Canon EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM • EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM • EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM • EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM

bildeb0rg Goldmember More info | Feb 21, 2018 12:14 | #7 I shot a wedding about 5 or 6 years ago that lasted under a year and cost the brides parents around £16-17000. So you're right, cost cost is no indication of longevity.

She got tired of the endless venue and guest-list changes, and told them to FO&D. We paid for it ourselves; she did it her way. Small ceremony with family only in a local chapel in the woods. Reception was dinner (with cash bar, we don't drink), and go home. Coming up on 32-1/2 years doing it her way. Seems to be working.
