How much did your wedding cost?

[IanM]

Donna wishes me to point out that it was 1992, her dad paid for most of it and I am a very lucky chap!

edit: .....actually, I am sure she is right!

I used to think my wedding would cost a lot but the older I get the more I think it’ll be quite a cheap affair. I want something very intimate with only a few friends at the ceremony. For the reception, I want something super informal that people feel really chilled attending. I’ve moved around a lot so I want something my friends who don’t know each other from will feel at ease with. We’ve talked about a reception at a couple of different breweries!

In laws paid for it, probably £20.

 

[ColchesterFC]

Mine was around 12k which equates to approximately 2k per year that we were married. And around 24k per year that we were happily married.

About 6k in 2003. Married in North Yorkshire where my wife is originally from. Would have been at least double for the same wedding down South.

It costs most I know about 5 shots on their handicap.

Haven't got a clue as my in-laws and my parents paid for pretty much everything!

My wife is an only child and my father-in-law is very traditional and so was very insistent he would cover the costs of everything.

My parents also wanted to contribute as my brother got married in Vegas and had no family or friends there so think they were a bit pee'd off about that - so they laid on a free bar and paid for our honeymoon!

In all my wife and I were very fortunate to have such brilliant parents who wanted to do that for us. It was an incredible day - we watch our wedding DVD every year on our anniversary.

Had a traditional Japanese wedding in Japan, in 1997. 30 guests in total cost us 17K which we split between us. At the time we were both in a different position work wise and fortunate to be able to cover the cost, there's no way could do the same today.

Ours was only about £5k back in 2005. Had a cracking day too

 

[Bazzatron]

Father in law paid for it, had around 700 people there and I probably knew about 100 of them.

 

[Imurg]

26 years ago today we had a budget of 5k
The Finance and Managing Director tells me we used about 3500 of it.

My now wife was a registrar so her pal at work married us in the registry office for a bottle of Red.Booze laid on by company I worked for at the time and her father put on the food and venue so bugger all.The week of parties,booze ups and golf days leading up to the wedding with most of the guests set me back a bit tho😀! Great party I must say

About 6k back in 06' including the flights to Australia and staying there for three weeks. Way cheaper than we could have done it for in the Uk and a far better experience compared to many wedding days I've been to

 

[cookelad]

Our way about £16k for about 100 people, for a party until 5am and picked up again Sunday afternoon, unfortunately our Polish wedding has a set the new standard for weddings on my side of the family, at my cousins weddings a couple of weeks ago it was still being talked about!

It’s amazing how a spammer can give 3 yr old threads new life

 

[Jamesbrown]

Don’t intend on getting married. Not for me. I have negotiated to get her a massive ring only if and when she deserves it.

My friend had a 250k wedding in Barbados. That was paying for all 48 guests including myself and mrs to fly out for 10 days.

Probably won’t go to another wedding as they’re all be mediocre after that.

 

[Mark1751]

Mine cost £25k excluding honeymoon, managed to only have 120 guests which is classed as small for an Indian (my wife) wedding.

 

[Don Barzini]

About £12k, we married in Kent, chose a cheap decent venue here. Glad we could spend not so much on it, still enjoyed it.

 

[backwoodsman]

It was the cost of two rings and the registrar. If I recall right it was about £70 in 1992. The only people who attended were me & the missus plus my Ma & Da as witnesses. Don't know if we should count the cost of the breakdown truck that took us the last 20 miles to the registry office? (Had breakdown cover at the time so probably not ...)

Ps: The best £70 I ever spent ...

 

[chrisd]

Not as much as it has since ?

But then it was back in 1975
