Weddings can be expensive, and not just for the bride and groom.
Guests can often travel from far and wide, with many having to stump up the cash for a hotel stay.
On the other hand, those who are exchanging the vows have to feed those who are invited, among many other expenses.

One woman has been invited to a wedding, but was left unimpressed after seeing what was on the menu.
Posting on mumsnet, she wrote: "Wedding breakfast is at 4:30pm.
"Evening food will be wedding cake and some cheese.
"Am I being unreasonable to think I am going to have to bring along a sandwich and some late night snacks?"
Those who responded were divided on the issue.
Some thought what was being offered was plenty.
One mum said: "Starving is a bit dramatic. Order a takeaway."
Another said: "Good grief no. Wedding breakfast starts at 4.30, probably takes at least 90 minutes, plus calories from alcohol , then cake and cheese? Sounds like a significant amount of food"
A third added: "I assume it's not going to be one dairylea triangle each. You'll be fine."
Others agreed with her.
One said: "Yep! At least you know beforehand so you can be prepared with snacks.
"We went to the evening do of a wedding with this exact set-up, expecting to be fed. We were starving. Had to go leave early so we could find a chippy that was still open!"
A second mum said: "I'd eat a hearty lunch before going."
And a third added: "I'd be going prepared. At least you know. Worst wedding I've been to involved an emergency stop at Maccy ds on the way home."
