AH WEDDINGS
Manicminer:
I got married in a registry office on a Saturday, with just me and the wife and 2 witnesses. We had a meal with them in a restaurant as a thank you.
On the Sunday of the following week we had our wedding blessed at a church and we had a buffet for our close family members. They all had a surprise since the first they knew about it was at the church (we just told them all to be there!).
I am not the type to have a big 'do'.

Used to serve in Bulford, there are plenty of potential venues around Salisbury if you want that area. It would depend on how many guests you plan on!
Have you considered booking a Sgts mess?

Bush Tucker Man:
Married in October 1998, after almost 13years together.
It was a Friday, so everything was cheaper (bet I get comments about that!!, tight-fisted Yorkshireman)
Mother-in-law & wifes aunty did flowers in Church. One of our ENT Nurses made us a cake.
Someone who worked in Joannes office made the bridesmaids dresses
Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit as the car (I wanted a Bentley, but we couldn't find one locally)
It picked best-man & me up, dropped us off & went for Joanne
Someone I knew from work, was actually getting married in the Church next day, so they came to the service & our wedding gift to them was all the flowers.
There is a 'Signing Of The Register' image on my 'WebShots', but the site is down for up-gradign at present (poor image, needs re-placing & better framing)
Our reception was at Bagden hall, a wonderful location.
Sadly the reception was too busy for my liking with about 60 for the 'day-do' & about 100 at the 'night-do'
Usual DJ stuff for the guests (certainly not my thing) & a professional firework display as well
Next day, we got a chauffeur driven Mercedes to Manchester Airport (would've preferred a Jag :roll: )
Flew to Heathrow & caught a flight to New York (got an upgrade as well :D :D, my first time on a plane for 20years - bar Helicopters
Then 2weeks touring parts of the east coast (New York, Boston. Quebec, Montreal, Ottowa, Toronto, Niagara, Washington DC, Philadephia)
Bottom line; :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
Dare I say............................... almost £9,000
