That is bullshit. It is about commiting to each other and having a nice day celebrating with your closest family and friends. I would rather do that without being £10k+ lighter the next day. The bride to be thinks so too.

I agree with you ..... Sort of!
I hate the fact weddings cost so much, 28K is the average! Thats a deposit on a house for god sake, I cant justify spending that on a day!
However, I only intend to get married once so I would like to be able to enjoy the day, and not have to count pennies on the things like food and outfits.......
Fine line I think......... *Ponders*
IM NOT REALLY HERE said:I am getting married on 31st August this year.
I am not going to be spending £kkk on it and am looking to get some things as cheap as possible.
So, does anybody know any cheap DJ's, Photgraphers and wedding car hire.
Cheers in advance for the help.

Our wedding cost less than £3000. The venue, food, dj, licence etc cost about £1500, the rest (dress, suits, flowers etc) cost another £1500. How anyone can spend £28000 is beyond me! We got married at 4pm, so we didnt need to have a wedding breakfast. Whilst we had photos taken, the guests were in our private bar. Then we straight into the speeches, followed by the buffet. A budget wedding can still be good.

We want to do ours on 1,000. It's realistic enough. We're having reg then back to ours for a party. These nobs on don't tell the bride are thick as pig shit.

Has Mark dropped any hints yet? That's if you're still with him of course.

Cheers will take a look. Our wedding is going to cost around the same I think. The more I can save on things like cars, dj and photographer the better. We are not materialistic people and We are gaurunteed to remember the day as it is the day we commit the rest of our lives together.

Ask him how much he would want pal.
Our plans are
Married at Registry office then some pictures in the park next door. Up to Roe cross for wedding breakfast(guests paying for their own). Then mingle for a bit untill more guests arrive for the doo (Cake payed for by my mum) . Spend the night in honeymoon suite(payed for by my Dad).
Honeymoon can be arranged at a later date.

Ask for cash towards a honeymoon instead of gifts.

For wedding photography, we found a student doing photography at a local university, and allowed them to use the photos in their portfolio. We're paying £150 for that, saving a fortune!
If you're doing it in a hotel, it'll probably be cheaper to book the missus into a room there the night before than hire wedding cars. Not as glamorous an entrance obviously, but if you're trying to save money, it's definitely the way to go.
We're also having a wishing well at our reception, we asked our guests for cash instead of presents so we can have a honeymoon, and avoid all the tat that people were going to buy for us. We live in a fully furnished rented flat, so would have been wasted.
All food and whatnot was included with the wedding package at the hotel, which was an offer of £65 per guest, including a bridal suite for ourselves and rooms for both sets of parents.
The bride's roses and all table centrepieces were bought from Dunelm mill and look really good and were dirt cheap. Everyone has commented on how the bride's bouquet looks amazing, and cost us in the region of £6 :D
