We had a Buddhist wedding, in Galle, Sri Lanka. Wife wore a pale blue sari , I always wanted a white wedding so I plumped for a white shirt and a white skirt.with gold trim
I haven’t got a scooby what was said during the blessing , there was a registrar piece at the end in english. We had professional makeup and hairdresser for the wife, drummers and dancers , some close family were there with us. Total cost for the wedding including our outfits , cake and a slap up meal for 7... about £600.

Sounds like a nice do, at a bargain price. A week honeymooning in Blackpool would cost more.

I’ve heard that the average wedding in the US cost over $20,000! I don’t know who these people are? I was lucky, my daughter eloped!

Lol, neither. Just stating a fact, and wished it had cost me £500, like Grant's!
Sorry to hear about your niece. That's a nightmare. What a bastard.
