    i always thought a church wedding would be more expensive, but its costing me nearly £500 to get the registrar out to our hotel! maybe a church is the way to go :think:

  • It can be cheaper, but it can also be loads more expensive! We looked at three churches - one wanted £620, another wanted £500 and the third was £850. In the end we're marrying in MY church as I felf hypocritical even setting foot in the other more photogenic churches OH (a non-church goer) suggested. The fact that my church is catholic and my priest only asks for a donation is a bonus!
