A wedding question

[askingaquestionaboutthis]

Hi,

Partner of 9 years has finally (😂) started to make some noises about us getting married. He has floated the idea of a beach wedding in somewhere abroad (initial idea is Santorini) with just nearest and dearest (parents and bridesmaids etc) and our children there, followed by a party back home to celebrate where we can invite wider family and friends. He seems to think this would work out cheaper than a UK wedding. What are people's thoughts on the financial aspect of abroad versus home, and also just general pros and cons of each I might not have considered?

Thank you!

I think abroad weddings and a party back home is really cheeky tbh.

You aren't invited to our wedding because we don't really care if you are there but come to our party and give us a present.

People can't win. Get married abroad and invite lots of people. Response is oo no too expensive no time off work etc. Get married abroad don't invite anyone and have a party after and you're not happy with that

I agree plus I think abroad wedding and party back home is just pointless - if you’re getting married abroad just get married and be done with it, surely it’s also defeating the point of it being any cheaper by paying for a big party?

If you want to get married abroad fine, but if you got married in the UK and some people couldn’t make it you wouldn’t put your dress on a week later and have a party with them so why do it in this situation?! 🤣

You paying for all those you want to travel to go. Depends on everyone s holiday leave too. Don't get upset with anyone who can't come. Up to you but why not do a register office and a party if you want to say money. Or just two of you and two witnesses in a register office no party

I absolutely adore it!! He's done amazingly 🥰

Ah, beautiful. And your nails are gorgeous too. Have a happy long life together.
