Here is my FI's crazy Idea:
With the cost of every thing going through the roof-
Find an arena that could host a top 100 country band,
hire the band to play the wedding, which would be noon- afternoon, for the wedding, and yes charge $10 admission to the guests, after the whole thing is announced to the region on the social networksfor $20ish for tickets, Those tickets are time after the bouquet is thrown, and after the wedding, open it up for more ticket holders, and use all proceeds to pay for the wedding, And your wedding is one of legend... and you and all of yours have a LOT of fun!
