I have heard of them, "he hasn't proposed yet so I left him" kinda thing. That guy was probably happy with things and completely unaware she expected anything to change.

I do find it odd that when I have looked at posts about it before the vast majority of weddings seem to be super expensive or super cheap. Very little in the middle. Like 3 digits going to a pub for food or 5+ getting fucking everything.

We were sort of in the middle? Wedding dress was a prom dress from Debenham's (70 quid), Edinburgh registry office, a few friends, 1 brother and the parentals. Afternoon tea at the Balmoral. Not cheap but not 5 figures either.

We had a reasonably priced wedding and then went to Scotland in our honeymoon. One of the best trips I've ever had.

Ohh that sounds like a nice idea. Much smaller event but something nice.

Not sure how much of my family would go, they are spread across different corners of the UK. Meanwhile my partner's family is all packed into an area I can walk across.
