It totally agree with you, that's why our wedding is at my mom's and just friends and close family (no distant relatives, or ones we don't know). The the last I checked my mom/dad and I have on spent way under $5000 (our budget), that includes wedding attire, two tents, dj, food cater, beer/wine, soda, flowers (fake my mom made all the arrangements), and misc extras my mom/dad wanted (stuff for the backyard, which they just used the wedding as reason to buy it). Hick my sister is making my cake for me, which saved a whole lot of money. I feel that those girls that spend tens of thousands of dollars on a wedding are crazy. Anyways our ceremony part is only like 15 minutes, our goal was just to have a really nice party to celebrate. My parents friends are helping out also on some stuff as a wedding present to us.
