Funny you say that...
Ours was in a registry office too with the meal/party in the local Harvester.
Family and a few friends.
We both enjoyed it (which is the main thing) and it did'nt take to much organising or money.
A great day!

Found ours in yellow pages under weddings. :lol:  :lol:

Got married in old farm buildings, with lunch in the pigsty (I think that's what sold the venue to me)  followed by dancing in the barn.

As it was all in one place there was no need to waste money on cars and we didn't lose any guests between wedding and reception :D

Church wedding...

Wedding cars were :  P38A, Discovery 1 and we left the church in the back of an open-topped Series 3 :-)

Back to Mrs Muddy's parents farm to a marquee in a field for a proper reception with real food  (none of this finger food nonsense) all from local suppliers.

All looked very impressive and expensive, but if you do it right it doesn't need to be...  all seems like a long time ago now !

I got married in a registry office on a Saturday, with just me and the wife and 2 witnesses. We had a meal with them in a restaurant as a thank you.

On the Sunday of the following week we had our wedding blessed at a church and we had a buffet for our close family members. They all had a surprise since the first they knew about it was at the church (we just told them all to be there!).

I am not the type to have a big 'do'.

Used to serve in Bulford, there are plenty of potential venues around Salisbury if you want that area.  It would depend on how many guests you plan on!

Have you considered booking a Sgts mess?

Married in October 1998, after almost 13years together.
It was a Friday, so everything was cheaper (bet I get comments about that!!, tight-fisted Yorkshireman)

Mother-in-law & wifes aunty did flowers in Church. One of our ENT Nurses made us a cake.
Someone who worked in Joannes office made the bridesmaids dresses

Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit as the car (I wanted a Bentley, but we couldn't find one locally)
It picked best-man & me up, dropped us off & went for Joanne

Someone I knew from work, was actually getting married in the Church next day, so they came to the service & our wedding gift to them was all the flowers.
There is a 'Signing Of The Register' image on my 'WebShots', but the site is down for up-gradign at present (poor image, needs re-placing & better framing)
Our reception was at Bagden hall, a wonderful location.

Sadly the reception was too busy for my liking with about 60 for the 'day-do' & about 100 at the 'night-do'
Usual DJ stuff for the guests (certainly not my thing) & a professional firework display as well

Next day, we got a chauffeur driven Mercedes to Manchester Airport (would've preferred a Jag :roll: )
Flew to Heathrow & caught a flight to New York (got an upgrade as well :D  :D, my first time on a plane for 20years - bar Helicopters
Then 2weeks touring parts of the east coast (New York, Boston. Quebec, Montreal, Ottowa, Toronto, Niagara, Washington DC, Philadephia)

Bottom line;  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:
Dare I say............................... almost £9,000

Got married twice in one day  :wink: Once at Gretna Green registery office and then at the Blacksmith's shop (which doubles up as a stagecoach museum). Must go back one day and see if it's changed as it looks very commercial now the restrictions have been dropped.

Whatever you decide to go with, enjoy it and may it be the start of a happy journey  :D

My girlfriend (I think she classifies as a SWMBO), wants a big wedding in a nice country Church in the New Forest.  Then onto a nice place (statey house type place) for the reception, then off to the Maldives for the Honeymoon (I quite fancy that one too..).  I think her dress will end up costing more than most people spend on the day itself if she gets her way (which is probably will!).  But anyway, still got to propose yet and that won't happen for at least a year.

We got married in a place called the 'Lost village of Dode' in Kent. http://www.akentishwedding.com/akw/venue/venue142

It was a former church, no longer consecrated(sp?) as we're not Christian (we have our beliefs and follow the old religion), so we had a candle and flame lit civil wedding in the most beautiful stone building you can imagine.

Had cake and bubbley there, went to pub at end of road for a drink, then all went home.

SHMBO and I had a nice chinese takeaway for our wedding dinner :D


Only 17 guests in total!!!

Cost, under 1k.

We got married in a registry office the day before our real wedding (you couldn't get married just anywhere back then). The main event took place in a 13th century Templar barn - and we all dressed for the period. Yep, I was in full armour :-)

Awesome day, topped off by having "No Right Turn" playing live at the end of the night (and Jim Fox dong his impression of a wandering minstrel!!)

In keeping with what Tim said - we sourced the venison ourselves, and the ale as well!

Good luck Mate, you'd have thought the officers would be ok as its you wedding!
Been married over 5 years, paid for it (nearly)all ourselves. Wedding in a 13th century church on 17th December. The church was decorated for Christmas so we didnt need to do anything! Look great ..we got married between 2 carole services!
We had the reception 20 miles away at the Millstone in Hathersage. We had the entire restaurant with about 90 guests....best part Christmas dinner for our wedding meal! 7 quid a head...not the usual 40! And the landlord allowed us to bring our own wine so saved a packet there...cost less than 3 grand all in. Had every room at the hotel thrown in for free.
Best bit was seeing everyone in their christmas hats!
