Getting Married

Me and the missus took this approach, neither of us wanted a my big day! scenario and I think we got the whole thing done for about £3k for fifty people - Islington Town Hall and then a cocktail bar - 60% of that cost was the bar bill...

...then again, we're both in our thirties, and have two kids and a mortgage and have been together five years (engaged for four of those...) so maybe we didn't feel like we needed to splash out on a country house and a hundred doves.

Took eight weeks to organise, but we nearly got caught out on giving notice in Hackney... got the paperwork with a day to spare.

Still sounds like a great day though. This is the kind of thing I want, lovely day and not a huge bill.
