A couple that my fiance and I are friends with were in the same boat. They weren't able to have a big extrsavagent wedding that they wanted. They just had family and a few very close friends over to one of their parents house after the ceremony for a bbq. About two years later, once they were settled and on their feet a little more, they had a renewl ceremony at the curch and then had the reception they had wanted. It's an idea. As far as a cheap band from wal-mart, I would at wal-mart and they do have some beautiful weding bands.
