depends on which banquet hall you will rent to host the wedding. also, the number of guest who will be at the wedding is a factor, example 100 people or 300 people...
also, do you want flowers, live music, limousine. see it is very difficult to name a price.

cheapest prices for 100 people in cheapest banquet hall is $2500. this will include hall rental for 3hrs and food will be served. food is: bariis, hilib, mango juice and a banana. once your guests have finished eating, they can leave as there is nothing else to do. this is the traditional somali wedding for a typical low-end faraax.

i have been to a weeding which cost $60k, the faraax was professional engineer who earned $160K/year + bonus of 15%. his bride was a school principle and earned about $105k.

Weddings can be quite expensive, it all comes down to how many people you are inviting, most receptions go by per head, for example 3 course meal for 1 person might start from $35.00 / $40.00. You also have to consider gounds and accessories, photography/video, etc.

Most importantly, to set up a new home.

Best to have a budget and shop around for special deals.

Except if it's a Faraax marrying a Becky.

You just have to put up with an open bar and drunk old whites.

Guarantee she will allow you and yours to "do your little cultural things" at the wedding so she can brag to her friends about her new multicultural family.
