I think our was £12k minus the honeymoon. It was meant to be £10k, but they ALWAYS go over. Having said that, you can definitely do it cheaper, depends on your budget and what you can do without.

Our ceremony was relatively cheap. Our venue was new, so the room for the ceremony was about £500, the registrar was about £220 iirc. The food/reception is where it all costs big time though*.


Sh..ugar** just re-checked my old spreadsheet and the food/evening was over £6k!

Alex paid for our first night accommodation, I think it was £200 for one night, then we went home. We couldn't justify two nights at the same hotel when we needed our cash for the honeymoon.

I still have our breakdown if you want to know anything else.

Blooming heck, I think my immediate female family member that isn't my mother or daughter has got the right idea going for a hog roast for her wedding buffet.

F**k no. The hog roast at ours was outrageous! We had a sit down and they wanted a fortune for a hog roast JUST for the evening, so we had a buffet as well instead. Does that make sense?

Oh it totally depends Rob, I have a chef friend who was shocked at the price. When the venue won't allow other food on their premises, they can charge what they like!

Quite a few people here on the island just renta field/marque and do everything themselves, popping to the registry office midway to 'do the deed' as it were.

I forgot rings too. We went for plain platinum bands and as I have small girly hands we found the largest size ladies ring fitted me. My wedding ring was £200 cheaper than if we'd bought the same size ring but as a gents. *Confused*

Try pulling one once in a while, then stay in and have lots of sex. Life gets much cheeper in the short term.... :)

I didn't tell anyone I was getting married , not even family.

Went to North Devon , stayed with best friends [ who were witnesses] , Wine and chips on the beach the night before .

Went to registry office , then down the local pub with our mates .

Bloody brilliant time , no hassle , no pressure ,

I sometimes wonder why people put themselves through the ringer ?

I do understand it must be lovely to have a relaxed no nonsense wedding that was all you ever wanted.

However, (and I'm certain Alex will agree) ours was exactly what we wanted, a celebration to boot, but most importantly, I don't think we lost the point of why we were doing it.
