How much did your wedding cost?

[raf_gti]

Following on from my 'catholic wedding' thread..

How much did your wedding cost and and did you have any input/care about the final er..outcome?!

[Bigfatnath]

10k....

I think this is the going rate for an average earning couple...

(Thats what we/she spent...)

[Penny-lope]

I thought it was up to 16k these days

[Zippee]

Our wedding at the end of Jan this year came it around 12k including wedding bands & honeymoon. That was for a small wedding of 54 day guests and 80 evening.

Not a great deal.

I wore a cream suit that I had paid about £20 for and never worn previously, my daughter had a new dress which my mum paid for.

My mum paid for the licence, my dad paid for us to go to the local Brewer's Fayre for a meal (6 Adults and 1 child) I don't know how much each cost.

We paid for the wedding rings and for a night in the Travel Inn.

I printed off a card that I had done to send to everyone on the day of the wedding to let them know that we were now married.

[Number 5]

23k excluding honeymoon

I did, and it cost me everything that I had, got most of it back when he died 6 months after the divorce. (always did have lousy timing that guy)

I'm no Mystic Meg but I can see a rather large argument brewing in the future!

As pointed out to the recently new Mrs Eds, the cost of the wedding was in the same ball park as this:

[jimothy]

£20k for a week and a half in Africa, the wedding out there, flights for us and a couple of friends who couldn't afford it, accommodation for 26 people, 10 days honeymoon in Las Vegas. All in all, not bad for a 3 week wedding.

[cazzer]

Registry office.
Reception upstairs in the local pub.
Her dress £200 from Debenhams.
I bought a new tie.

All in all, about 2 Grand with an open bar too.

Much better having money for the marriage than the wedding in my opinion.
A wedding is one day, you won't notice much of it, it'll go past in a flash and all you'll be left with is some photos you never look at and a video no one wants to watch.

Save the money and use it to have a better life together.

[oobster]

£18K roughly, nearly 4 years ago now.

[Jasandjules]

Aiming to spend about 25k but that is to fly us, and a few people we want, out to where we want to get married, and what will amount to a two week holiday for all.

[Gonewest]

3.5k ,registry office in Jersey + weeks holiday/honeymoon

[Steve748]

I got married in 1993 and don't know how much it cost as she paid for it

[missdiane]

About 13k I think- traditional church wedding with 100 for dinner and 50 extras for the evening entertainment/buffet,
That was 18 months ago, the honey moon was £2k on top of that.
Our original budget was 13k, not bad huh?
