Wedding wars How photographers took over – and vicars fought back

I’ve always wondered if there’s any correlation between the cost of the wedding (as a ratio of income) and later divorces.

We had a very simple wedding 25+ years ago. A few close family and friends as guest, registry office and a local hotel for the reception - and had the entire thing paid for the next month when the CC came through.

It was no less meaningful or memorable- we still talk about our favorite parts today and need no major Instagramable set of videos and pictures to remind us of it.

I fear that some of these hyper stylized weddings later become metaphorical albatross’s because they constantly remind people of a time gone by that can never be returned to.

My personal view is to simply remember the past with fondness but always look to the future.
