How much did it cost you get married?

[Brutal biff]

Me and the missis have been together nearly 8 years now so have decided to tie the knot and make it official

We're looking at febuary 2017 and the costs are eye watering what we've been looking at

I know registry office and a pub reception is much cheaper but we've decided to have a day to remember so we've set a budget of 7k

 

[robnut]

4.5k In a country house all in. lucked out with car and photographer though.

 

[George Hincapie]

£10K for the cermony and reception.

 

[chroniclard]

IIRC about 25k roughly, then honeymoon.

 

[Lima]

£14k ish for wedding (100ish day guests, further 40 or so in evening)
£5k honeymoon

 

[chief barker]

About tree fiddy.

Mrs Chief was not happy.

 

[zootfloot]

Too much.

Save your pennies for a mega holiday and have a much smaller, low key wedding instead.

You'll remember the day just the same, but you'll remember the mega holiday even more

 

[Burned_Alive]

Somewhere in the region of £15-18k for the wedding, including dress and rings (as they were paid for outside of our original set budget of £15k). Around £7k for the honeymoon.

The key to a cheap wedding is to invite as few people as possible, or at the very least dont invite them all to the day

 

[cheesyboy]

£18k all in, including honeymoon. 7 years ago

Was a great day but..... I do think we should have done it a bit cheaper.

Difficult to do a "traditional" wedding for less than about £10-12k, though, I would say.

Nowhere near as much as it will cost you to get un-married, according to the threads I've seen on here.

 

[GinG]

I think ours was around the £20k - £22k mark including honeymoon.

Getting married to a Polo was an expensive business.

 

[Randomface74]

Jeez... could have a few of those 8pack rigs for that.

doesn't talk back either

 

[chief barker]

My wedding was dirt cheap as I said.

I'm not paying for people to get drunk start fights and **** off the wedding which is normally what happens.

 

[Gixer]

Damn price of weddings is something that puts me off wanting to get married in the first place. Ridiculous as that may sound but I really see it as pointless spending all that money on ONE day! The reason I would want to get married is to show my ultimate commitment to my partner, not be fleeced by one company after another all because what you are purchasing is for a wedding.

Call me Mr grumpy guts but I'd rather have the cheap registry office venue then spend all the money that would have been spent on the rest of that ONE day travelling around the world and gaining far more memories and fun experiences for around 31 days, might be more destination dependent!

Everyone is different though and I do appreciate some have a little more spare cash to splash more frequently than others.

HEY! Moxxi and I, err, I mean, my car and I, wait no... Me and my car, are not married!

 

[Malt_Vinegar]

The Mrs and I think we can do it under £500 Sweeet

 

[yer_averagejoe]

Christ. I've been working for 6 years now and have 25k to my name. No way is that getting blown on a wedding.

Have never seen a fight at a wedding.

 

[Sankari]

£2.5k, just under 10 years ago. Lots of mates helping out (including the professional photographer) so we saved a ton of cash by paying little or nothing for services which would otherwise have cost a packet.
