No Frills cheapest possible wedding advice please

3 Posts
I am researching getting married and want the cheapest no frills option.
So I have never been into weddings and paid little attention to how you go about it all, how much is the registry office including all paperwork etc (and what does that entail, I know you have to register your intention to get married? and pay for the registry? and pay for certificates?) as that seems to be my only actual wedding based cost. I am struggling to find these basic things out as all wedding websites etc I have looked at start to go off on tangents about cakes or flowers and I immediately switch off!

- registry office just us and our two children
- no rehearsal
- picnic at public place with friends who can bring own food (place already chosen)
- no cake
- no photographer
- no special wedding dress (seen perfect dress under £100 already)

Saving for a dream honeymoon!
Total Wedding Budget: £8899.00
Total spent to date: £5857.00
£11,860.00 needed = £1,106 in savings
£49 simple statutory ceremony. Every council has to offer these ceremonies, the restrictions will vary. Eg. Mon- Fri, latest time 11.30am, max 6 guests including 2 witnesses.
You can go to any registration office you want to, you can make a day out of it to somewhere you like to visit for the day? You only need to do the legal paperwork in the district where you live.
£119, you are married & have a marriage certificate.
You do not need rings, you do not need a special outfit. You can get married in your socks!!!!
Everything else, clothes, flowers, rings, food, the list could go on..... But everything else should, in fact anyone will tell you, really must, be what YOU & HUBBY want. Celebrate exactly how you want and have the ceremony as simple or as grand as you want and most of all have a bloody good time!!
I'm pretty sure you'd get arrested for indecent exposure...
Thank you that was what I was looking for x
Hope you have a lovely day. X
