We spent a ton on food - appetizers, side dishes, and desserts - because my mom didn't want anyone to go hungry. We once went to a wedding where the food was basically gone before all the guests had a chance to eat, and that's pretty much the only thing we remember about the day! - Dana W, 33
It was my mom's dream to hire an old Rolls-Royce to transport me to the church. The only one we could find was an hour away, so we had to pay the cost of travel plus the exorbitant price of having he car for a few hours. We got a 1949 cream and gold Rolls limousine, and it was gorgeous - Elizabeth S, 28
My husband and I slipped the band some extra money so they would keep playing for another hour. Everyone was having so much fun that it was absolutely worth it. And no one realized that the party was meant to end earlier - Emily C, 28
Our honeymoon! We splurged on business-class tickets and an overwater bungalow. Worth every penny - Lisa N, 32
We flew in a top-notch photographer - we'd seen her pictures in magazines and had fallen in love with her style. I panicked at first, but it was money well spent. The photographs will last forever - Christina G, 29
My DJ showed me a DVD he'd done of a wedding where he used low-lying fog for the first dance, and I loved how it looked. It gave a subtle, fairy-tale effect, not like cheesy concert "smoke". It cost more than we were planning to spend, but when my parents saw the video, they were like, "Go for it!" - Amanda T, 35
My dress! I really wanted to keep it at $1,000 or less since I'd only wear it once. When I saw the one I loved and the price tag was almost triple what I budgeted, I said "Forget my budget, it's my day, I'll charge it!" - Marian, 33
