Some Big Decisions

Type of Ceremony

We decided that we want a traditional ceremony with mainly close friends and family. We really want to have church bells at the church so they can be played at the beginning and end of the ceremony.

Wedding Budget

We have decided the maximum we want to spend and want to be able to raise is £21,000 as we think this is more than enough to achieve the wedding we want to achieve.

Wedding Style/Theme

We know that we definitely want to have a big, traditional wedding and this will be the main focus for us. Scott has said that he wants us to be the main focus and for it to be slightly unique in some way.

Guests and Who to Invite

We have already decided the maximum number of people we would want to have at the ceremony is 100 and then 150 at the reception. We have already worked out that my family would account for 32 of the guests and Scott’s family will account for 21 of the guests.

We also worked out the numbers involved in our wedding party – in total at the moment we think it will come to 10 but some of these will be family and we’re sure to have missed some people out…

Do We Want Children There?

We have decided that we do because some of our relatives are children and we want them to be there so we won’t ban children.

What Are Our Priorities?

Scott summed this up – to get married.

Where Do We Want To Get Married?

One of the two locations we discussed earlier.

Are We Going To Organise It Ourselves?

Yes, because this will help to keep the costs down.
