I just done as I was told. Nothing has changed since.

As above though, all you need is a license, then a venue for the wedding, whether that's a registry office or church is up to you. Any sort of after party is down to what you want. We had a big wedding in a church followed by a reception dinner then an evening do. There were loads of people there and when my side of the family got together the night before the drinks were flowing. It was a big, long day and by the end my new wife and I were exhausted. Too exhausted if you know what I mean. Can't imaging what the whole thing cost as I didn't foot the bill but as much as I enjoyed the whole thing I wouldn't recommend it.

My brothers wedding was a registry office followed by a meal in a nice pub. It's all you need really.

We got married and had the reception in the same venue, saves a lot of fannying about for guests photographers etc.

At the end of the day, the whole affair should be about what you both want, not what anyone else wants/has done. A small, intimate do is just as magical as a mahoosive event; as long as you've gathered around you the people who mean the most then the day will be special. Weddings cost what you want to spend, keep costs down by making your own invites and thank you cards. One thing re photos, DON'T get a family member or friend to be designated photographer. I'm sure people will offer, however, their day is spoiled by having to be alert and energetic, making sure they properly capture everything/one, and, should the pics turn out to be pants.....

Make an appointment with your local Council to speak to the registrars. Tbh, the 'interview' with them was scary, as they fired all sorts of random questions at me about Deb's dob, job title, eye colour!!! Sat there in mild panic, thinking what happens if I fail!?! I didn't then, however nearly did on The Day when I completely failed to remember anything...lol

First Off. 

 

YOU gotta get down on one knee, if your gonna go very old school, you will ask her father for his daughters hand , with his blessing

you can then be wed. 

 

The proposal ..................  get family and friends together without her knowledge, then have her arrive at set place and

go about your bizzle , ie band yadda yadda.

 

you swoop down one knee pop the question and the whole family -relatives - friends appear. JOBS A GOODUN. 

 

legal beagle ........ 

 

you need a wedding licence, a few quids here and there, registery offices are sweet places, but make that choice coming from both of you.

venue for the after wards shindig oh and a few buddys with cameras to record the whole event unfolding, from inception to finnish.

 

PPS. you need a youtube account to upload it to the web so we can see our handy work in action lol !!!!

8yrs with my gf no plans for marriage yet lol. 

18 years in jan with my missus and no sign of marriage  :hahadance:

 

Personally if were happy why do we need a bit of paper to say we are :)

 

funny enough we spoke about this today in the car and we said if we was to get married how many people would we invite lol and we could only com up with 8 people inc our 3 kids hahahaha

 

Only people we know are idiots, theifs, scallys and criminals that wanna be gansters. and these are some of the reasons we moved away from everyone and don't speak with that many people anymore. 

wouldn't invite my parents and she wouldn't invite hers as her mum and dad kicked her out when she was 15 and my mum chose her fella over her own 5 year old son ( me ) when she knew her fella was beating the crap out of her son ( me ) so she would be the first NO on the list lol

as for everyone else i could honestly say i couldn't trust any of um and i can say 100% there would be some real trouble at some point of the day.

 

was only a couple month ago my cuz died from lukemia and riot police had to be called to pub where the wake was held because 47 family members where all fighting outside lol

 

One of bad points of having a large family of mainly boys/lads/guys :(

I have been married for a little over 2 years now and frankly all the talk of it feeling any different than being in a long term relationship is silly. It makes no difference other than the wife having to get herself lots of new documents due to her new surname.

 

Ours was in a small castle, followed by the reception in a country hotel. I think overall the day cost around
