Let’s be honest, weddings are never cheap for anyone involved.
For family and friends of the happy couple, accepting a hit to the bank account is just part of supporting their big day. But when it comes to forking out a small house deposit, there’s got to be a line in the sand… right?
One bride certainly thinks not, having been outed on a Mumsnet forum by one of her wedding guests who is clearly feeling a bit conflicted about basically footing the bill for her close friend's entire three-day wedding celebration.
"Am I being a tightwad or is this taking the p***?" she began. "One of my closest friends got married a couple of months ago, she said they didn't have a massive budget which I have no problem with, of course!"

I've experienced some weird stuff in my time including an lovely elderly lady in her eighties picking me up hitchhiking on a country road while she had a mannequin* in the passenger seat that she talked to as we drove.
That still seems more sane to me than reading about a three day wedding, now that's reaching a new level of crazy.
*His name was Ralph and he seemed nice enough - a bit quiet though.
So totally wrong! If you can't afford the venue, then find another that fits within your budget. Only in the day and age do people think that is OK.
