Lol - did you pay for it? I thought all that stuff was in the past. I wouldn't have dreamed of asking my parents to pay. We paid for our wedding ourselves, or rather I did, as I wanted to make it special for Del.
And also to keep certain things a surprise, such as the old-fashioned horse-drawn carriage I arranged to take us from the church to the hotel, where the reception was, arranging for her favourite flowers (white orchids) and a bottle of her favourite vintage champagne (Perrier-Jouet Belle Epoque, as shown below) to be left in our suite, and of course our subsequent honeymoon to Austria.
All money well spent!

Lol - same here, after nearly 30 years, although I suspect ours might have cost just a little more than penniesmine cost pennies compared to most... we were still wed, had a meal, a do and never got divorced.. job done
We didn't go crazy overboard though, like many do today, then as you say, end up divorced 12 months later!!
Pure lunacy..... Some of them seem to think they're celebrities.

A friend did a car for the bride. The dress was the most expensive thing tbh. the rest of it probably cost about same as it(rings apart) Cant remember the cost in total but probably £650 covered it all. Even then it was fairly cheaply done without being miserly. Everyone enjoyed it. Good meal.. good buffet and dance..

Grant

Thankful no I didn’t pay for all of it although I did contribute, it was a great day even though the prices at the bar were outrageous.Lol - did you pay for it?

They always are in these places... Glad you only contributed!
In any case, if you do try the Roman Camp, I hope the food is still as good. I had a simply stunning fillet steak (with beef from Highland cattle) in a whisky and cream sauce, followed by crêpes Suzette, both flambéed at the table, just as was de rigueur with fine-dining, during the 70s (and before), and which you hardly ever see now. I think you have to dress formally for dinner though, although they may have relaxed that rule now.
Plus, the malt whisky selection in the bar was memorable!

Last wedding I was at was very expensive at bar. I took a hip flask of bourbon with me, knowing they wouldn't have anything worth drinking.

Grant

Good plan, but if the latter is true, then you're attending the wrong weddings

Very true, plenty of choice at the bar, lots of good stuff but pricey but that was no surprise.Good plan, but if the latter is true, then you're attending the wrong weddings
