    To people from different parts of the U.S. and the world: what’s the norm in your neck of the woods about money, exravagance, and weddings? How much do people usually spend? My New Jersey friends are accustomed to $20,000-plus weddings with huge centerpieces, open bars, and $300 gifts from guests. Around here, many people have receptions in church basements and eat cheese cubes and sandwiches. I’m getting married on 7/8/01, and while some guests are puzzled that we didn’t register at Dayton’s for fine china, others are puzzled that we’re having placecards and a nice caterer. What are you used to?
