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!!

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.

Yeah, but that was in 1911 Bandy.

Only joking spud! I got re-married in 2007 £750 the lot. Day and evening above the Grosvenor. Fantastic day.

Ha ha derek, I flew out then 18 months later sailed back, via South Africa and other interesting runs ashore. The trip back, we did dive a bit and we also drank a lot, Cape Brandy yum-yum!

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
