I was actually wondering about this with the "how much did your wedding cost" thread, but then the thread about the bride who hopes she gets at least the cost of each guest's plate back really made me want to ask.
Do people who pay for their own weddings expect to break even or even make a profit from their wedding? I guess if people have parents paying for it, it's all pure, sweet profit. If you paid for all or part of your wedding: did you break even?
