Just in case anyone is interested re passport, u can actually change the name on your passport up to 3 months before the ceremony. Your old passport will be cancelled. The new passport is ‘post-dated’ - this means you can’t use it before the ceremony, but if you wanted to travel under your married name and didnt need a passport in the run up it might be an option, I looked into it but decided against as Id have to apply for ESTA for the states on the day of my wedding

As my passport conveniently ran out a couple of months before my wedding this is what I did.

The trappings are all incidental and optional. Marriage is a legal institution and you can partake for very little money. People may want it to be more but there is only married or unmarried. You are or you aren't, the add-ons make no difference to that.

We could argue till the cows come home over that one. It rather depends on your belief system, or lack of one.

All the best weddings I've known have been register office ones followed by a knees-up. The flashy, expensive ones and the churchy ones are usually dire in my experience.

In my experience, it doesn't seem to matter much how much the wedding cost or where the ceremony took place. Some weddings are enjoyable and some, most definitely, are not.
