Why are weddings so expensive? Daughter gets married on 15th and cost of one day would buy the most fantastic layout and collection of kit that would keep me amused for years.
No parental help for us, save my dad paying for the singer at the reception. We got married 12 years ago. We managed the whole thing- dress, reception and honeymoon for a grand. We've been together 18 years last month. 'Money can't buy me love'...
You can do more with 5k than you can with 20k. The biggest cost is guest refreshments and food - limit it to real friends in the afternoon and leave work colleagues and hangers on for the evening reception
