importantly, how much - you
didn't disappoint us. And

fans of the A word (no wedding
or bride is ever average in our
book), when it. comes to costs,
dates and numbers, a national

was just for laughs. Only around
one in ten fathers (and mothers)
of the bride now finance the big

are funding the celebration
yourselves, just ahead of the
option where everyone
contributes (and possibly

that she who controls the
purse strings, controls the day).

whats up, what's down, and
what hasn't changed?
