I was just reading an article on the BBC that said the average cost of getting married now is around £21.000
Well mine was £150.52. £150 covered the registrar and paperwork, back room in the pub, and slap-up pie and peas all round. The 52 pence was for a broken beer glass. The cake was a wedding present from my sister-in-law who went round the tables afterwards to pick up the plastic horseshoes etc, for re-use. When she asked me for the bride and groom ornament, I told her to get stuffed. I bought my own ring from a cheap place, but it proved to be a waste of money as I lost it within months of the blissful day during a hectic lambing session. Presumably some slaughterman will have thought the gods were looking after him when that ewe met her end!
Yes, I am, and always have been a tight-fisted type. We didn't want to spend that much, but you seem have to do something.
We were late too, 15 minutes late. We stopped on the way to look at a collie that was for sale and the mannie decided to gather all his hill to prove the dog was great! It didn't go down well with the registrar as our wedding was the last on Saturday and she was rather short with us during proceedings. We hadn't even thought about witnesses so she was more miffed as we tried to decide which family members to use.
My aunt wore black spiders web stockings and everyone was gob-smacked. My cousin ( a dentist) was telling my brand new husband that she could get some false teeth for the toothless, flat cap wearing farmer in the corner, then realised that it was his father.
A day to remember, for sure.
I was glad to get home that day.
