I should have never said yes…

So it turns out I’ve been cheated.  Norwegian weddings are incredibly low key and thoroughly DIY. Stop everything!  I expected at least the same as an English wedding (lots of pomp and circumstance along with booze aplenty) but instead I found a strangely austere, unshowy people who spend much less than English weddings.  Despite wages being much, much higher, the average wedding spend is under £10k.  This also includes a lot of people self-catering, doing the booze run to Sweden (for cheap alcohol, sweets and other luxury items.  There is a free bus to facilitate this, nicknamed, The Bacon Bus) and generally a lot less of the service one gets in a wedding package in the UK.  

I have gone crazy researching venues, getting quotes and more or less (at time of writing 3 weeks + 2 days after Proposal) picked my venue and got a good idea of the dress.   However, most of the places I look at have done packages, some with a wedding breakfast and evening buffets; some with waited food.  Both these would be unimaginable in a Norwegian wedding. Whilst we may plan to spend the same as we would in Norway we will get much more bang for our buck in England.

Also whilst I was always planning to self-fund… Norwegian parents don’t pay for weddings?!  Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

P.S. I have no regrets about saying yes and am only joking.
