reading this thread, it's enough to put me off!

The best wedding i went to was in a forest on Argyll. The stag party was a yurt in the Brecon beacons. Both cheap and slightly difficult to get to. The locations helped cut down the numbers; great aunt Betty's neighbour's dog walker didn't come!

If i ever get married, it'll be in the Sakhalin peninsula.

We looked at one venue which was about £6k for just the venue hire. I worked out it was about £2.66 a minute for the hire and I pointed out for that price she could have a new Juliana Furtardo with XX1 kit and we both agreed to set our sights a bit cheaper!

Went to a great wedding yesterday. Triple steak burger with brisket, Monterey Jack and dirty mayo. Served when you wanted it between 5 and 8.Great way to do it!

Yep I did that one on my “special” day, big table at a harvester 🙂 and paid a small corkage fee an brought a few boxes of champagne with me.

(also managed to forget to cut the cakes,local cake maker did nice job without charging the ‘wedding’ cake fine.)

Did look at hiring the SS Great Britain but tbh I’d have wanted it to sail down the channel and to the new found lands for the price.

Sakhalin's the island, Kamchatka's the peninsula. Wicked choice though - cheap booze and heli-skiing!
