I hope and pray that the "worst thing" your wedding day is remembered for is the--most certainly incorrect--perception of frugality.
(Of the dozens I've gone to, the only one I remember for anything close to frugality was the one where the hundred-fifty-or-so guests all arrived in the hall and we proceeded to devour a modest spread of veggies and cheese with two chafing dishes of appetizers. When the ravenous bridal party arrived a half hour later they found out that the guests had already finished dinner. The bride's aunt shouted at the bridal party: "Well I made must have been two hundred of those little meatballs!" Several of us on the groom's side sprung for pizzas.)
