Affordable Weddings 2021

2021 is heralding in the New Age Wedding!  Recalibrate your expectations! Wake up to reality!  It does not have to cost you the earth to marry your beloved!

 

 Do NOT be influenced by glossy pictures of dream weddings designed to divest you of all your savings!! Remind yourself of what a wedding is really all about!  What is at the centre of your day?  Not The Dress, the glamorous venue, grand feast, nor the flower arrangements, the hairdressing, and bridesmaids gifts, etc., etc., BUT THE VOWS YOU MAKE TO EACH OTHER!

 

Reforms in the marriage industry mean that soon many of the restrictions that previously made weddings so complicated and expensive will be relaxed.  A celebrant will be able to take care of the whole thing, rather the wedding needing to be overseen by the presence of the registrar.  Instead, you will be able to register your wedding online, simply, and inexpensively.  You will not need a vastly overinflated plan, or even to book an extravagant venue – all you will need is to gather your nearest and dearest in a place that you love, which does not even have to be under a roof any more, and design and create the ceremony to suit YOU, not simply the authorities of bureaucracy!! 

 

How exciting is this!  As Sir Paul Coleridge, chairman of The Marriage Foundation, is quoted as saying today in the Times (04.01.21 p. 25):

 

“Keep it simple, and never let the cost of a wedding be a barrier to marriage.”

 

Exciting times for wedding couples and celebrants!
