Should i get married in a registry office i dont want to but we are short of money?

Question

we had a really big wedding booked and half paid for when my dad had a heart attack and couldnt pay for the bits he was going to pay for and so we cancelled but now we want to rebook and pay for the wedding ourselves should we book a registry office to save money????

Answer 1

There are other place you can marry...like parks and zoos...or botanical gardens...

Answer 2

What's your other alternative, excuse my assumption:can also do weddings in church (if applicable), garden etc

Answer 3

I'm so sorry about your Dad!  Best wishes for his speedy recovery.

About your wedding -- if you want to get married soon, book what you can afford.  If that means the registry office, then so be it.  I promise you, your marriage isn't diminished by the humble venue in which the wedding took place.  The vows mean the same no matter what you're wearing, and no matter where you are standing.  It's going to be a beautiful day whether you do it in front of 2000 people or a justice of the peace and your families.

Answer 4

Whats the rush?  Take your time and make sure that where ever you get married it is the right place for the both of you.  Dont rush it and regret it!

Answer 5

Yes because it's not the wedding that matters alone, it's the lifetime of love that you will both share. God bless your dad, hope he's ok

Answer 6

You could have a hotel reception. To me, thats sort of in between a big church wedding and a low key registry office wedding. You could also postpone the wedding to enable yourselves to save up a bit first?

Whatever you choose Im sure it will be perfect - you marrying the love of your life :)

Answer 7

Who are you trying to impress?

Just get married, live love , laugh and be happy, ---and solvent.

Friends and relatives soon forget who,s money it was that got them drunk.

Answer 8

you can, but why not wait and save up for the wedding you want.  while its easy to take the cheap way out (and thats not a bad thing...I did it and was perfectly happy) but nothing is worse then a couple who gets married in a cheap, small ceremony then decides a year down the road they want a huge wedding bash because they didnt get to have one the first time...though they chose not to and then gets married again even though they are already married.  if you want a bigger wedding somewhere else then save for it.  Your fiance isnt going anywhere so there is no rush for that piece of paper.
