    Yes we will take everything in you and others have said thanks to all of you :-)
  • Save up and pay for the wedding that way. Who knows, by the time you've saved it up, you may decide you don't want to do it.

    Any ideas? Yes don't spend so much on the wedding.


    You don't need £7500 you want £7500 there is a difference.

    Instead of grumbling about other people wanting to enjoy themselves you could try answering the question and being helpful. They are being sensible, have agreed a budget they can afford and are happy with it.

    Do you have electricity? Why waste the money when you don't NEED it, you only WANT it? You've decided the convenience is worth the thousands of pounds it costs. Same goes for a car, washing machine, etc.

    I have been married before but still want my finance to have the best day of her life.the venue is a package all in for 3500 which is a good price.we have the dress suits cars and honeymoon.we have no debt whatsoever so a loan for 7500 is nothing.we have no mortgage can we get a loan on the house?

    If the venue is 3500, what is the other 4k for ?

    Did you know that taking a big loan for a wedding dramatically increases the chances that the marriage will fail. 100% fact.

    Got any proof? In particular, got any proof of causation rather than just correlation?

    SIX (!) years of debt to pay for one single day?
    Not to mention paying £2885.63 interest for the privilege.
