I'm sorry this happened.
People who have abundant money probably don't ask the price.
People who only go-to higher end restaurants for only special occasions feel the price for such offers will be in line with other items on the menu. Most midrange restaurants have special dishes that are a special deal.
I have over the years been with others at restaurants that have had this same shock, be it over the meal or a drink.
Do not let the naysayers here put you down, they really know not what they say as they have not walked in your shoes.
If the food is good and you like this restaurant, continue to go. Only we who have learned to ask prices, in such places, will able to enjoy such special days even after we pay the bill.
I wish you the best of what this year of marriage brings to both of you.
Hugs....
