AH WEDDINGS
BrumLee:
Got married twice in one day :wink: Once at Gretna Green registery office and then at the Blacksmith's shop (which doubles up as a stagecoach museum). Must go back one day and see if it's changed as it looks very commercial now the restrictions have been dropped.
Whatever you decide to go with, enjoy it and may it be the start of a happy journey :D

My girlfriend (I think she classifies as a SWMBO), wants a big wedding in a nice country Church in the New Forest. Then onto a nice place (statey house type place) for the reception, then off to the Maldives for the Honeymoon (I quite fancy that one too..). I think her dress will end up costing more than most people spend on the day itself if she gets her way (which is probably will!). But anyway, still got to propose yet and that won't happen for at least a year.
abinitio:
We got married in a place called the 'Lost village of Dode' in Kent. http://www.akentishwedding.com/akw/venue/venue142
It was a former church, no longer consecrated(sp?) as we're not Christian (we have our beliefs and follow the old religion), so we had a candle and flame lit civil wedding in the most beautiful stone building you can imagine.
Had cake and bubbley there, went to pub at end of road for a drink, then all went home.
SHMBO and I had a nice chinese takeaway for our wedding dinner :D
Only 17 guests in total!!!
Cost, under 1k.

We got married in a registry office the day before our real wedding (you couldn't get married just anywhere back then). The main event took place in a 13th century Templar barn - and we all dressed for the period. Yep, I was in full armour :-)
Awesome day, topped off by having "No Right Turn" playing live at the end of the night (and Jim Fox dong his impression of a wandering minstrel!!)
In keeping with what Tim said - we sourced the venison ourselves, and the ale as well!
Bulli:
Good luck Mate, you'd have thought the officers would be ok as its you wedding!
Been married over 5 years, paid for it (nearly)all ourselves. Wedding in a 13th century church on 17th December. The church was decorated for Christmas so we didnt need to do anything! Look great ..we got married between 2 carole services!
We had the reception 20 miles away at the Millstone in Hathersage. We had the entire restaurant with about 90 guests....best part Christmas dinner for our wedding meal! 7 quid a head...not the usual 40! And the landlord allowed us to bring our own wine so saved a packet there...cost less than 3 grand all in. Had every room at the hotel thrown in for free.
Best bit was seeing everyone in their christmas hats!
