In my experience the more lavish the wedding the quicker the divorce. Noticed that amongst friends.

Mine too - definitely spending the money on the holiday to Florida in July rather than on the wedding although our evening do is quite big at Holiday Inn in Ellesmere Port.
Thanks everyone, I am a little scared of the unknown, if I'd ever been to a ceremony there I'd be ok but it's because I don't know what to expect....pathetic I know!!

Absolutely! I don't see the point in spending £15 - £20k on a wedding that falls apart after 2 years. It should be about the partnership not the show you can put on.
Mine cost all of £38 and I had to borrow that. It was worthwhile because I was able to take her out to Singapore with me, bargain.

See you in cyberspace!

I did it on Friday - we went for ceremony one and it was over in literally seconds. I thought I'd cry but there wasn't even time!!

It was a great day thanks everyone - I loved every minute!!!! The room in the town hall is lovely and it was full of family and friends which made it even more lovely. Thousands of photos - everyone has given us their camera memory sticks and there is just so many, it's fantastic to have that many for the memory!!

I was married in the Wallasey Town Hall - near 20 years ago
Nice place.
Staff were very helpful and pleasant - but they will be strict on timekeeping because there could be others "in the queue".
Quite a big room for guests to watch.
Very good for photos in the room and on the big staircase etc but remember the hallway/ staircase is big and the flash on compact cameras will not cope with a lot
Enjoy
