BushMoot: Come along to the amazing Summer Moot 31st July - 5th August (extended Moot : 27th July - 8th August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
A registry office wedding cost between £50 and £500 depending on where and when. It's a legal process not necessarily a religious one.
I don't know, I'll ask the FiL? LOL!! FiL will probably be against it!! MiL too for different reasons!!
My wife and I got married in 2021 (we had to do it then for visa reasons) and it cost about £50. No guests allowed by law, which was a great excuse for just us and two others as witnesses!
So my recommendation is just to wait for a global pandemic.
The Bl**dy check of the man..... and he's from link con shire mutter mutter mutter.
Dunno about the cost of getting married but we're still married after 62 years because we reckon divorce is far too expensive.
Yup, that's why the wife and I got married in the registry office on a Friday as it was a lot cheaper than having the wedding on the Saturday.
We then went down to a local pub for the reception. In total our wedding cost £1500 including the honeymoon.
This sounds like you may be breaking your decluttering drive! Hopefully it's gone well thus far.
Friends of ours decided to repeat their honeymoon holiday for their 40th and go to the Seychelles; I asked Sue if she wanted to do the same, but she said she didn't fancy camping in Beddgelert for our anniversary
Last went there on a British Rail mystery trip around 1979, aged 14. I remember the museum was especially interesting, full of items from the whaling industry and fishing in general, there was also the William Wilberforce museum, he was instrumental in bringing about the abolition of slavery, a Hull born man. The Dock area was also very interesting, although, sadly, I imagine it will have suffered a massive decline, so no more ships chandlers and other such fascinating stores (to a 14 year old avid reader of Percy F Westerman stories of daring do on the mercantile seas of the early 1900s
).
I've been to Hull no end of times but the most recent must go back to about five years ago.Last went there on a British Rail mystery trip around 1979, aged 14.

The old docks have been transformed into a very artsy district full of 'spaces' for 'pop-up' exhibitions and restaurants, but the physical structures of warehouses and train tracks are still there.
And the Wilberforce house is definitely worth a visit. The women's sugar boycott is not what was taught in my school when we were studying the abolitionist movement.
I’ve got a few family rings and bits of jewelry tucked away myself; honestly, I rarely wear them either. Some are a bit too dainty for me and others just don’t match my style, but I keep them because of the stories and connections. When I tried downsizing, I couldn’t actually part with the sentimental stuff, so I put it all in a small memory box. It’s weirdly fun to open it now and then, feels a bit like a time capsule.
For rings or jewelry that don’t suit, I sometimes think about getting something custom-made with the stones or gold. Lately, I’ve been looking at diamond jewelry to see how others reuse or redesign family pieces into something they’d actually wear. There’s inspiration out there if you ever change your mind about keeping things as they are.

Ah; an odd revival.
I havent a memory box but I do have a treasure box; it has a lump of pumice I found on Perranporth beach and a sardonyx in it. (Eddings readers will get that joke) amung other things. I dont really have many things that are treasures; most things in my life have function.
Like all these little 3D animals I get from the toy shop. better than the Dragon purveyors offer at the car boot, and the same price.
And keeping a toy shop open is treasure in itself.
They will go as gifts for friends. I am not that attached to them.
