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

                  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.

                              From memory, the double marriage rings, a bracelet, a necklace, a pair of earrings and a watch (all gold, preferably white, decked with diamonds) there are several other optional accessories, such as tiaras (the one we bought had a tiara), what are known as belts, anklets, toe rings, and anything else that can make a man go bankrupt. In my case, it wasn't my then fiance or my mother in law that went overboard, but my own mother :(( [modification] fixed typo

                                I really, really hate that expression. Before I married, we lived together like man and wife. You know, no sex and lots of arguments. :-D The divorce solved the arguments bit anyway. :laugh:

                                      You've never been to a Jewish wedding I take it? If I really pushed and ran around like a headless chicken it can be done for under £15,000 or cheaper if I was to have it in Israel. Or cut down on guests.

                                          I went to a wedding last night.... Very nice but finished today. what do you call expensive? If I ever find a girl to marry me I reckon the cost of the wedding will be at least £30,000

                                          My wedding cost less than $500 - and that includes both rings and a limo for 4 hours. No guests, no food, no BS, just me and my wife at the courthouse for 20 minutes. We've been married 10 years. It's less about the wedding day and more about every day you'll spend together afterwards.
