So bumping this thread....

Have been engaged for about 18 months, but together for 10 years....

Having looked into the costs and rigmarole of arranging a wedding we are seriously considering doing an old school elope to Scotland to get married.....

Niether of us really like the like the limelight, and aren't really fussed about a big do or presents.

Has anyone here done something like this, will we regret it in ten years time?

At the moment we are saving for a deposit for a house and would much prefer to put the money towards that than a wedding!

You won't regret it.
I got married 9 years ago and it cost a fucking fortune.
The stress of organizing the wedding nearly split us up, and I still grind my teeth to this very day at the thought of those smarmy cunts who are involved in the wedding business and how they fleeced us.
£1000 for a photographer, for one fucking day???
I don't know how the cunt can look at himself in the mirror, I really don't.
Food costs a fortune, drink costs a fortune, clothes cost a fortune, and still someone in you family will get the fucking hump because you didn't invite dear old Uncle Roy even if he is a vicious serial paedophile and horse rapist with a fetish for dressing like Timmy Mallett.

Take a week off, get married, incorporate a honeymoon, come back break the news, have a party.
I wish that's what I'd bloody done.

+7, for that from Lucy.

Or another good plan B. Is a great beach, barefoot... get tourists to take photos, and make sure its just you 2 and a local random beach dog.

You'll look great healthy, suntanned in the photos.... good luck.

<----once went to a Star Wars Wedding. WTF ? they called their kid Anakin, or Anadin or summink. Course 6 months later all went light sabres up.

best thing to do.
put the house as a more important priority

It's really up to you Andy W! Jaygee and I went to the registry office with our witnesses. We told our families (who are not in the UK) 3 days before and they were delighted. One of my closest friend didn't speak to me for one year, another one was really happy for us but said that she was disappointed to have been there on the big day. etc...

I still managed to get annoyed with one of our witnesses :) She arrived late with her new boyfriend I had never met and he is on all the photos behind Jaygee and I. Very funny....

But the following year I organised a simple party for my 40th birthday and that was amazing. Everybody had the best time and it was kind of my way to say thanks to all our friends for being our friends.

40th?? VeeVee, you can't be more than 29!
:-O

The idea of spending the national average of £15K (fifteen effing GRAND!!!!!) on the big day where you shoehorn people that do not like each other and have endless stress sounds like total torture.

So that's a no from me.

Woe there, done it all church etc 20 people during the day and another 20 or so for the evening.
All organised one evening in the pub.
Great day.

You old smoothy, Mattty.

Ooh, VeeVee! Someone in your family is a thief, because they stole the stars and put them in your eyes!

As some of you may be aware (Lucifer - my Tour De Bristol T-shirts look the shizle), i am getting married in September.
What started out as an amazingly romantic (coming from me, that's saying something) notion, during which we decided that the most laid-back affair would be reflective of our nature - has escalated massively..
Chair Covers? Ribbons? Favours - favours (why the hell were these invented?)? Signs, Seating arrangements etc..... I really don't give a monkey's ringpiece whether my tie compliments the bridesmaids outfits - I aint marrying them.
I can't tell you how important it is to have an idea - and stick to it! Good luck!

I had a really small wedding and it was lovely, there were 10 people there in total. We haven't regretted it once. Personally I cannot see the point of spending all of your money on 1 day. The point of getting married is to dedicate yourself to another person for life, that doesn't change if there are 2 people there or 200. Nearest and dearest are the important ones not putting on a lavish do that'll take you ages to pay off.

heheh! genuine shock, honest guv

Thanks for all the reassurance - seems my views are reflective of most (some) - now to work on the parents....
