Okay, I'll fess up - 2009, 60 guests, 2 days in a castle including all accommodation, meals and entertainment = £23k

Paid for by me, but £7k of that was for the Honeymoon 🙂

...Length of the marriage is in inverse ratio to the expense...

I've noticed that with all my friends marriages.

All marriages from weddings I've attended, bar one are still going strong. That one didn't cost [i]that[/i] much. I'd estimate maybe £4-5k at the very most.

This is an expensive wedding!

Ok, so $10m is nothing for a billionaire but I can never understand how less well off, yet normally rational people, feel that an expensive wedding makes more sense than paying off a big chunk of a mortgage.

Me and the OH have discussed this subject a few times, it would use up all my savings so we came to a solution, registry office just a couple of witnesses, then a 2 week holiday, and just tell people when we get back.

Tbh neither of us are very social, other stuff gets in the way. Plan was to book a restuarant for an evening invite close friends and relatives 20 max for a meal to celebrate, cheapstake i know but we have been together for 15 years so no real surprises for anyone.

Our wedding cost £65 - registry office and off to the pub for lunch - all concerned were happy! ( bit of an awkward moment when the registrar asked my wife to be's birth date and I forgot [nerves!] we have only been together 25years!)
