Although it may be billed as the best day of your life, over a tenth of those polled admit that wedding finances are their biggest worry when it comes to tying the knot – beating ‘embarrassing family members’ (12%), ‘marrying the right person’ (7%) and ‘being jilted at the altar’ (4%).
The new research also shows that tradition lives on, with over half of brides polled saying their dad helped with the cost of their wedding, compared to a third of grooms’ dads (36%). This is just as well, as over a third (34%) of married or previously married couples said they had ‘no idea’ how they would pay for their wedding when they got engaged.
Although a fifth of Brits were able to fund a significant amount of their nuptials through their monthly salaries, 44% paid for half, or less, of their own weddings.
With the average cost of a wedding set to be over £30,000, the research found that a fifth (21%) of couples borrowed money to help pay for their wedding, with credit cards (11%) and wedding or personal loans (7%) the most popular forms of credit.
