Nice day for a cheap wedding
The Church of England has published a guide advising couples to marry on the cheap.
The Christian church is worried people spend too much on weddings and recommends they marry in second-hand clothes and host their own wedding receptions The new guide says: "Ignore the spend, spend, spend culture and embrace a more simplistic approach".
The average cost of a UK wedding is £17,000, with the bride’s dress alone costing an average of £826.
Guide author Rev Andrew Body says brides should travel to their wedding by taxi and wear a second-hand dress bought from a charity shop.
He suggests asking guests to take their own alcohol to the reception, but also suggests cutting the environmental costs by splashing out on organic and fair trade food for the reception.
