I'm voting for your sis but...

I can't really understand why weddings are done sooooooooooooooooo over the top in US.

We had AMAZING wedding. We had band (with best male vocalist I've heard live.), food, big multilayered cake, "wedding-drink" etc. And it cost about 2000-3000€'s (including our clothes.)

"Normal" wedding in US costs at least 10.000$. At least that's what I've read. [surrender]

Most weddings don't touch $10,000. A "normal" middle class wedding is about half that amount. Sure some people go nuts, but that's not the norm. My wedding was between $5000 and $6000 two years ago. We had roughly 90 people there, live band, reception, church. It really gets expensive when the wedding has a completely open bar. I've seen some weddings rack up a $3000+ bar tab alone.
