As far as I remember it was all pretty straight forward, only thing I had to do was go to my local town hall to fill out a form too as Mrs was living in north wales and me in Derbyshire, other wise pay your money and away to go and could only seat about 40 people so meant could leave out a few from each side on that basis

Me and mine eloped to Hawaii, honeymoon and wedding all in one. It was a while ago but I think we got the whole deal for something like £2500. We decided to get married there due to her family living in America and mine in the UK....marrying somewhere neutral meant we could leave everyone out with no prejudice. Of course the actual real reason was me not liking big do's, being centre of attention...can't keep a straight face on such occassions. Although saying that, at our cermony we had the minister, the photographer and the co-ordinator who served as witnesses and I still managed to crack up laughing during my vows

I organised our wedding to keep it simple and relatively cheap. If you can run your own business you can easily do a small wedding do IMHO. There was a bit of barter and a bit of help from friends and family. Cost about £3000 for church,reception food etc for 100 people and covered a honeymoon in Cornwall. I was told O you can't do it yourself you need experts but I just ignored them and did it.

 

Don't be dictated to by friends and family it's your day so do it your way.

Well. Here is the thing. We are not looking at many guests. Me mum and stepdad, her mum and dad, will invite my own sister but not sure if she will come.

 

Plus maybe 5 friends.

 

That's about it.

 

Don't want loads of people there, and couldn't. Both our families will do nothing it have fights. Would turn into a right brawl. And we just don't want that.

 

Hd an email back and the price of the actual ceremony is not that much.

 

I'm looking at a budget of about 800, but this can give or take a couple of hundred.

 

The way we both see it is a nice simple ceremony and a blooming good knees up after.

Revive my old thread. Progress at long last. Well sort of.

 

One of the crew on the lifeboat jokingly said out loud "why don't you get married on the boat" she heard him of course.

 

Come home today to a greeting of, "why don't we get married on the boat?, would be something different I suppose"

 

I'm not too sure on the idea, she seems to have warmed to it.
