I'm so excited I need to tell people...I've had my hotel booked for about 6 weeks where I was having my reception and civil ceremony but while sitting watching the grand wedding at Westminster Abbey I text my mum saying I really fancy a church wedding now. So I went to my local church on saturday morning and had it booked by 10.30am! Now i'm even more excited, as I never thought I was too bothered about the church. I think my dress needed a church aisle to walk down too.
I was getting the civil ceremony room for free in with my reception package price, but the registrar was going to cost me around £400 and I was going to get chair covers for the civil ceremony room and decorated which would have been around £200. While the church is currently (before the price increase in december) £520 for the service and the choir is £80, so that pretty much even's itself out and I was going to have a car anyway. The only extra it is going to be is to pay the church to allow our videographer to film the service which is £180.
So for my fabulous church where I will also get all my lovely photo's its only going to work out £180 extra which I don't think is too bad. Not as grand as the beautiful Westminster Abbey but just perfect for me.

congratulations, great news, i always wanted to get married in a church and watching that made me realise i had made the right decision x

wow thats great, I am regretting not having the church in a way as I really liked how the bells sounded.

Yeah I am wanting a church too, never being married before and I am religous so needed a church. Its is cheaper than a civil ceremoni in a hotel. It was going to cost me £300 for hire of room and then £300 for registra and then £100 for chair covers. WHere as church and chior are costing me £450 all together... So much cheaper and lots better!

Hope you have a great day and well done X

oooo excited for u hun xx
