                  You still need to feel (a bit) suicidal for that.

                    True. Plus it probably won't uninstall everything. Like the ring for instance.

                      That's not even that much. Cheaper than a house.

                            You must be feeling brave, if you plan to do that to yourself, even though you would only be able to see where you're cutting without any form of anaesthetic :omg:

                                Okay maybe not 30,000 but could be 20,000 250 people at £50 a head Hall £2000 Band £1500 Dress + clothes costs £500 Video + photo £900 Table decoration £250 night in hotel £150 Car hire £200 Misc £1000 and that would be cheap. You could get food for £100 a head. or a better hall. Some of the central London Hotel's charge £10,000 just for the hall.

                                      :laugh: I assure you, she (and probably your mum and her mum and any females in both families involved) would sacrifice you on the nearest make-shift altar. It'll become more gruesome the closer it is to the wedding. Still funny though :laugh: Here, in the Middle East, getting married is a back-breaker. I coughed up my life savings for: 1. a house (3 bedroom apartment) 2. the wedding (about 23,000 JOD not counting the miscellaneous expenses and the honeymoon) (that's just over 19,000 GBP) 3. the bridal gold set (this set me back 13,000 JOD alone) Its expensive, but if she's the one, its so worth it :)

                                      Yeah, I think it's probably the same all over then! So far, we've looked at venues and food, which comes to about £10,000. That's obviously not including all the other bits and pieces like honeymoon, rings, clothes, flowers etc. Luckily, we are already living in sin together as we bought a house a few years back. Unluckily it is a house of horrors that hates me and wants to devour any surplus cash in my wallet at every opportunity. Even after 3 years I am still fixing problems. I call it "Event Horizon". :-\ I think I'm going to be working lots of over time...

                                        Okay maybe not 30,000 but could be 20,000 250 people at £50 a head Hall £2000 Band £1500 Dress + clothes costs £500 Video + photo £900 Table decoration £250 night in hotel £150 Car hire £200 Misc £1000 and that would be cheap. You could get food for £100 a head. or a better hall. Some of the central London Hotel's charge £10,000 just for the hall.

                                          You must be feeling brave, if you plan to do that to yourself, even though you would only be able to see where you're cutting without any form of anaesthetic :omg:
