HOW Much? Is it worth it?
As you plan your big day, you'll be hearing "HOW Much?" from one person or another. OK, it'll usually be from the same one person.
He'll probably have more than a passing involvement in the day, but still it is important to put things in context for him. He may not fully understand how important it is for you. How you've held back from some extravagances.
This means that if you want to put on underwear worth €1,500, or splash €600 on a carriage and a pair of horses - you'll now easily be able to put the costs in an international context.
To help you out here are some pointers:
Miss Carly O'Brien, from Gloucester in the UK, who recently went up the aisle in a modest little number, with 3,000 Swarovski crystals sown into a 30 layer dress.... (She was 16, and pretty strong by the sounds of things as the dress weighed a reported 160 kilos) and it only cost €37,500. She needed to remove some of the dress to get through the church door....
Of course she was a modest young girl with just big dreams because she really didn't try half as hard as the now Mrs Delaney, of Tolworth in the UK.
Miss Josephine Doherty went up the red carpet in a 180 kg dress, which only took her 2 hours to put on. She then had a 30 minute wait while everyone fitted the dress in to the Cinderella style carriage for the trip to the church. On arrival she needed a team of 8 best men and 5 bridesmaids to carry the 60 foot long train....
But then it was all definitely worth it, because she got to use the carriage again with her beloved for the FOUR hour journey to her reception, of course had she gone any quicker they may not have been ready with their modest little 40 teir wedding cake, which was waiting for the loving couples arrival....
On reflection it does appear odd that these are all recent UK weddings involving people with Irish surnames... or maybe not.
