Bonkers
crazy bastards
Its a sad day when the dowry doesn’t include the big days cost
It’s why our divorce rate is so low compared to the EU average. You spend that kind of moolah on one day you’ll never be able to afford a solicitor
The best thing to happen me during covid was getting married with the 50 person limit the amazing deals hotel had. Had a great day and at a fraction at what it would have cost.
Would I have spent 50k on it? Would I fuck, that a deposit on a gaff sure!!!!
Wedding is just 1 day a marriage is forever, atleast it’s meant to. Would rather spend the 50k on the marriage than a party.
So many people I know are opting for alternative weddings in recent years
Still no doubt no small sum to put on but definitely worlds cheaper than what a “traditional” wedding would cost
People seem to enjoy them a whole lot more too
Fuck!ng hell.
Willing to go into debt for a party is insane 💀
Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to get married someday (and occasionally pretend to plan one when I’m sad lol), but I’d rather be single and not be in debt than spend the equivalent of a house deposit on one day in my life.
Idiots..
I spent 2000 on ours, it was beautiful and fantastic.
One in four spends up to 50k means 75% spend over 50k.
I spent 200 euro on the ceremony in the office, and a meal out for 15 people. Sorted. People need to stop thinking people need to see a ‘show’ and just love one another
Absolute madness. We will be eloping to somewhere sunny and then a small gathering of friends when home.
Fools & their money…
All for show.
Spent 40k on mine for 2 days of festivities.
Would do it all again in a heartbeat we’d an amazing time and everything went perfect.
Planning ours atm, gonna work out just under 10k which is dear to us but includes ceremony & drinks reception venue, separate venue for dinner + after party, caterer, DJ and a bus to take folks from the city center to the ceremony and back again.
No idea how the fuck someone would spend 50k, even if ours goes wildly off plan it’ll be around 10
Nothing says ‘strong start to a marriage’ like being in financial debt before you even say I do!
50 fucking grand!!!!!!
Fools and their money
I’m amazed it’s not more than 50k with the sums I’m hearing. I was assuming average wedding size was 120 or so people and since I’m hearing 150-200 per guest for the dinner and venue you start getting well over 25k quite quickly and that’s before band, photos, flowers etc.
If I could do it all over I’d do what a pal did.
I got a text one day, “fancy coming out for a pint tonight to celebrate us getting married”
Register office job, told nobody apart from their witnesses.
Started planning our wedding recently and it’s crazy how quickly things add up, I’d well believe it. Especially for larger more traditional weddings. We’ll be trying to keep costs/numbers down as much as possible but even still some things are just outright expensive
There goes the house deposit. Mental
Fools and their ceremoney
90% of the people i know getting married have a mortgage together already so this makes some sense. Proposal and marriages are starting to come after the practical stuff
I got married in secret for 60 quid. I highly reccomend.
the prices have gone bonkers. Got married last year. anytime you mention that it’s wedding related, the price jumps 2/3 times 🫣
