Have a wedding within your means, dont expect others to pay for it. Nothing wrong with a registry office/courtroom wedding!
I say that after my father in law just paid for a massive wedding for me and the new wife (oh yeah, I have got divorced and married again @Kam) in a country house with a free bar (unusual in the UK). :lol:
We did say if anyone gave gifts that we would want cash for the honeymoon, but that was purely practical as we have lived together for a few years.
