They're a hassle, eh? Fat Cunt

Just back from one, which was a lovely occasion and I'm sure the bride & groom will be really happy with how it turned out. At the end of the day (literally lol) though, is it really worth tens of thousands of pounds for a big shindig in the Mansfield Traquair? We're talking 300-odd guests at the reception, 200 of which will have been there for the ceremony and food. That can't come cheap.

How much would the #thf spend on a wedding, in the highly unlikely event that any of us ever find another human being who doesn't find us absolutely repulsive in every conceivable way? Or would we be like Vlad-Stupid / Sterling, and just pump out sprogs while living in sin?

Getting married in 2017 Sob

The ceremony itself is about 4k, and I don't think we'll be spending much more than that on the photographer, etc.

Think mine was around £10k all told.

Didn't pay a bean.

That's what the in-laws are for.

Told her dad we'd prefer the cash equivalent to spend on another motor/trip to USA/hard drugs. Might even just put it in the bank to go towards our next house. Fuck spunking it of something I'll no doubt be too pished to remember Laugh registry office with some close family members will do me (<-- read as: had no friends outside of the internetz to ask foreveralone.gif)

Warnock I'm not living in sin.

Neither of us wanted a big event so we kept it small (< 30 people). Chose a nice venue and stuff though, no registry office for this cat.We did a lot of the stuff ourself or tried to save money places so I think we were around 6-7k for the day.

When we got back from our honeymoon we had a bigger reception but even then costs were kept low (£500ish)

Never understand cunts financially crippling themselves just so their cunt pals can have a piss up & a fat lass can get fingered while wearing a bridesmaid dress.

My sisters 2 weddings caused nearly £50 grand, luckily we aren't scaffs and can afford them tho.

It's easy to save money on a wedding just don't go for people who cater for weddings. We hired the Carnegie Hall for our wedding which cost £300 including light and sound techs. Cost maybe £3-4k for the reception for 100 in the theatre restaurant because it's council owned there's not as big a mark up as you'd see in a hotel etc.

Hired a proper photographer rather than a wedding photographer. We hold the copyright to the photos too so don't need to pay for copies. Probably save over a grand there.

Didn't tell the limo company it was for a wedding for the car for mother in law and bridesmaids and it was nearly half the price. Guy was fucking fuming when he dropped them off, tried to call me a con man when I told him he was the cunt that wanted to charge nearly double for the same trip just because they were wearing bridesmaids dresses.

I think all in our wedding was about £7k for 100 during the day plus another 40-50 at night. Honeymoon was a late booking to a 5 star resort in Jamaica and came in under £2k. Fuck spending £20-30k on a fucking wedding, I'd have still been in a deep depression if I'd done that.

It's the big church-looking thing at the roundabout at the bottom of Broughton St. Very fancy.

Had my 3 big cousins' weddings over the last 4 years that were full dayers, but luckily me and my mates are in the #alone4life category so full day weddings aren't going to be a thing for a while.

Got a few night do's coming up, one next year at the Dalmahoy that will no doubt cost me a fortune Muggy

I never asked, but i think it came in at around 12k. I only stumped about around a grand and a half.

I think paying 12k for a party is pretty distasteful, but not a battle worth fighting. We did take a collection and make a donation and raised over a grand for charity, but still.

While we're on the subject, cunts that ask for money or specific items on the invitation are the worst kind of cunts. As a rule of thumb, people who ask for money get fuck all and folk who ask for nowt get £50-100 depending on how much I like them.

Is the idea not so that the guest doesn't have to fret about what to buy. I much prefer being told what they want.

Cost about £10k all in, excluding honeymoon, lasted 5 years, so about £2k a year. Laugh

Honeymoon was well worth it though. Cool
