I am horrified at the money people spend on weddings. Call me an old Scrooge if you will but it seems such a waste, and more importantly such a pressure on newly marrieds. Sex, money and relatives are supposed to be major topics for dispute in a marriage and a “big” wedding certainly covers two of those (”money” and “relatives” or you are doing something wrong).

I get spammed by lovemoney and it is a worrying thought that I actually responded to some of their spam - I clicked a link in an email, they’ll know it’s me and send more & more

However, a blog on how to have cheap but lovely wedding seemed a good idea.
