Joint income = £160k (but London)
Ages: 29 and 33
Wedding cost: £25k (5k from bride’s parents)
2023

Just curious. So many of the quotes we had were crazy. And obviously Dh and I doing okay financially. Who is spending all this money given the average income?

Got married ten years ago
His income - 19k
My income - 16.5k
Total income - 35.5k
Wedding cost - 4k (in laws paid for the church which was about £200)

We did lots ourselves but prioritised spending money on the bits that mattered to us. Friends and who had gotten married before us had still been paying off their wedding well past the first wedding anniversary and we didn't want that.
