I got married at Hanbury Manor. By the time my wife had finished blitzing my credit card it cost over £20k.
Some of the costs were worth it, like paying a bit more for a really good band. We negotiated a good guest rate at the hotel so loads of people stayed overnight which really made a big difference to the party mood, and it was good to see people at breakfast the next day, even though everyone was feeling rough
Some of the costs were crazy (to me) like the wedding dress (wife probably still thinks it was a bargain), but it's the constant stream of superficial extras which bump up the total. For example: £150 for a pair of shoes to match the wedding dress, nobody can see them under the dress and they will never be worn again. So many companies just milk it and brides get caught up in the whole buzz of planning the special day.
Soon as you mention wedding price triples
Which is wrong
