We did the exact same thing. No guests, no hassle. We spent ~$20k on the vacation/wedding/honeymoon (went all out) and about $20k on rings (custom designed 200-stone engagement ring plus our two bands - mine platinum comfort fit [HEAVY] and her diamond band).
Since we were financing the entire venture ourselves, we spent the money on what we thought made sense. You keep the rings forever and the only people who are in the marriage the entire time are the two of you, so that's who we spent the money on. Wouldn't have had it any other way. It was so liberating to self-finance because nobody else could give their input. I highly recommend it!
