What kind of wedding do you have and do you regret spending the money ?

[Lardlizard]

Or if you have a budget wedding do you wish you had spent more ?

£10k 14 years ago. London wedding for 80 people in historic hall with service, sit down meal and disco. Didn't skimp,on food or booze, but got dress second hand, no favours, videographers or fancy flourishes. Flowers from Tesco in £2 ikea vases that looked lovely!

Nuggles sounds amazing..would love to go to a big fat Indian wedding..they look great fun..if anyone would like to adopt me
Went to a big Muslim wedding..it was nice but not in the way yours sounded.

Went to a £50k wedding.
Was very underimpressed.

We had the traditional big white church wedding, around 10k. Don’t regret it at all, been married nearly a decade now.

We waited until we could afford the big white church wedding; I would never have got married registry or anything like pub reception. Each to their own, but they just don’t feel like real, proper weddings to me 🤷‍♀️

We got married in a beautiful stately home - it wasn’t actually where we had booked to get married, however. Our venue went bankrupt about a month before the wedding, and we had to try and find somewhere close by (on an August Saturday) that was free. This place which I’d discounted for being too expensive, was available and they bent over backwards to help us out and to move everything.

The place was absolutely beautiful. One thing we didn’t scrimp on was a photographer and I’m so glad we didn’t because our wedding photos are so wonderful - there were several of my close family members there who are no longer with us and I really treasure those photos. Other than that I made a lot of things myself, my good friend is a fashion designer who made my dress, so we saved a lot in some areas. I have very happy memories of it so I’m glad it worked out as it did.

Around £50k, not sure because we didn’t pay for any of it. Most of it went of food and booze (open bar), some elements were cheap e.g. I had a high street dress. My only regret is having a church wedding.

About £100 - no regrets!

I had the cheapest wedding I could afford.

Registry office, my dress was off eBay (and gorgeous), we hired suits, had a buffet at a local pub and the reception at the village hall.

Came to around £1000 for everything.

Do I wish I had the horse drawn carriage and church wedding?

Yes sometimes I do

Do I regret the wedding I had?
Not at all.

Spent around 12k inc every last thing. All in the same venue. Had a lovely day with close family (30 people) and then around an extra 100 on the evening for a huge party.
Loved it, planned it in 5 months!

We had an all out Hello magazine style wedding. It was far from inexpensive but it was incredible. Everything about it was completely beautiful. It was the kind of wedding I would have dreamt of as a little girl. My then 7 year old walked my down the aisle to meet daddy and gave us both a kiss!
By total fluke a fly past of vintage aircraft had taken past somewhere in central london and we got the amazing surprise of it giving us a formation fly past to us as we were having a drinks reception on the lawn outside. You could never have imagined that. It was the best wedding ever -not that I'm biased😂 I dont regret it at all. Worth ever penny.

A small one in a hotel, kept under budget and loved it. Don’t regret the decision - we could have spent a lot more but decided we didn’t want to.
Still had the white dress, bridesmaids, wedding breakfast etc but we were thrifty with how we sourced things :)

‘Only’ about 2k. Registry office, cheap dress, all the money went on feeding people afterwards. Which yes, I regret. Dh wanted his mates there. So I paid for them to eat and get drunk. Waste of money.

NYC City Hall $35 for the licence,$25 for the ceremony, £35 for the extended license, $3 to have it signed in the Supreme Court building, $11 for a money order from Duane Reade to get an Apostille from NY Dep of state,$2 for a flower from a stall. Married in a Fat Face tunic I previously had as v hot.So $111 in total. Been together 28 years previously, was just us and the kids. No don’t regret a thing. We’ve done the commitment thing and when you get to my age life is about experiences. Racing around Manhattan on our extended license paper trail and seeing other couples of all ages, sexuality and ethnicity waiting in line and doing the same in City Hall was an experience we’ll never forget. Truly magical. The big do thing just never felt like a proper wedding for us, a bit fake and manufactured. I get why it’s not like that for others though. People and couples differ hugely. Important to go with your gut.

Registry office, photos in the park , restaurant, night in hotel, a week camping in Scotland, . 70 guests. Low key in comparison to many weddings.

One thing . I do regret is, should have had a live band
