Wedding costs
Just interested in people's views on this.
We know a couple aged about 30, not very well-off, living in rented accommodation and he has no medical insurance. However, they are planning to spend all their savings on a fancy wedding. I would advise them to use their money towards their future, but am I just being unromantic? |

Re: Wedding costs
blimey, depends on your priorities, but I'd rather put savings down on a nice pad than on a wedding, they could always renew there vows when there a bit more plush.
I think our wedding was a few grand all in, including me flying over :D |

To me it isn't justified to spend that amount of money in a single day.. We just had a very simple wedding at the local register office; just us and 2 witnesses. We meant to have a proper wedding at a later date in Spain but then we felt that we were already married and it wasn't worth it.. I still feel that maybe we should do some kind of celebration for our familes to get together, but I'm not sure what or where.. we'll see.. |

We've only been together 17 years and have 2 kids. I'm just making sure she's right for me first |

We did the same...7 guests...lunch afterwards...down the pub in the evening. No honeymoon. No regrets. |

And our money like most canny Brits went towards the down payment. |
