Julie and I got married 3 years after meeting after being engaged for 2 and having lived together for 2. Now been married nearly 11 years.

Tips,

Make time for each other on teh day or you end up hardly seeing each other as you try to get round everyone.

its not how much it costs its what it means to you but balance that with its (hopefully) a one off event and you can never buy memories after the event.

Wedding videos are fine but rarely get watched, they do however become a lovely reminder of people who are no longer with us.

Just cause your mate has a decent camera doesn't make him a good photographer.

for impromptu record of teh day get a load of disposable cameras and give them out to all and sundry. collect them at the end of the day and get them developed. There will be a lot of dross but some really good stuff a pro photographer would never get chance to capture.

A good buffet is a damn site cheaper than a sit down meal for 200 and can be equally memorable if you think outside the box, e.g. indian and chinese with say a proper kebab machine( not cheap donner). thats one idea, try to think of being 'different' as it will; make it memorable
