I assume people get married in Longmont every so often. I don't know who or where or how people can afford it, but it must happen.
According to the Huff Post, the average cost for a wedding in the US is $30,000. Manhattan wins for most expensive with an average of $86,000. AVERAGE.
Here are some other things you could spend $30,000 on if you had it lying around:
12 55" HDTVs
11 bottles of 1958 Glen Garioch Whisky
10 solar panels
9 top-secret smart phones
8 450-year-old bibles
7 nights in a beach house
6 micro home-breweries
5 goooolden riiiings
4 years of college (or so)
3 trips to Europe
2 life-sized gingerbread houses
....Are you singing the song now?
1 savings bond worth $34, 848 in 5 years
Or a party for 1 day. Eek.
Anyway, we're trying to not spend as much as it would cost to buy me a new car or pay off my student loans. Two things that I desperately need...hmmm...
So back to Longmont. There are venues here but, in my opinion, they are outrageously priced. The parks are a great option if you don't have weather to worry much about and if you don't want to have any booze.
Booze isn't a make or break thing, but...come on...it's a party. Anywhere from $800 - $5000 with varying amenities, we're just having a hard time finding what we want. We could downsize the guest list but that seems like an option way down on the list. That's mostly my doing. I know and am related to a lot of people.
We don't need anything complicated, we just want everyone to be comfortable and have fun. Right now I'm hoping to meet someone with a really big backyard.

I agree, booze is an important part of any party. Our wedding we had a 3K bar tab which was reached about an hour into the reception before switching to a cash bar. But everyone was loose and having fun! The average cost of a wedding is closer to 27k, but it is even lower in Colorado, New York just brings the average up.... so maybe only 11- 55" TVs... :)
