    I agree the “rock” hints strongly at it, but unless they’re american* weddings aren’t very expensive. That whole lavish show-off thing the rest of us just ignore.

    *) hmm, maybe indian too

      Currently planning what seems like a fairly mid sized wedding in the UK

      It’s already looking like it’s going to be over double the cost of a roughly equivalent wedding one of my friends had only 3 years ago

      Based on some of the price lists of suppliers for the following year we’ve seen, they’ll be getting even more expensive. The industry is getting quite out of hand

        My wife and I looked at places a couple of friends got married at a couple of years earlier when we were planning on our wedding and those venues had doubled in price since then. A couple of years later our venue doubled in price. The wedding industry really seems intent on pricing itself out of existence!

      Dutch wedding receptions aren’t cheap either, the main difference is that here it’s much more common to keep it small and not have a reception.

        Exactly - there’s no general custom to throw one in “keeping up with the Joneses”-style.
