Wedding Disaster’s No Joke At Over £16,000

PR Log (Press Release) – Oct 30, 2008 – Wedding disasters make great TV. We have all watched shows like “You’ve  Been  Framed”, and it’s internet equivalent “You Tube”, and chuckled at all those big day disasters. Even Hollywood has got in on the act with films like The Wedding Crashers, Four Weddings and a Funeral, The Wedding Planer and Muriel’s Wedding to name but a few.
So why does anyone put themselves through it all? So they can show off to friends and family, to have a party, or maybe to fulfill the dream of a lifetime? Whatever reasons a couple have for getting married, make it unforgettable for the right reasons (and not ending up on You Tube) by planning your day well in advance.
Book the photographer, wedding cars and popular venues as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. Invitations should be sent out early especially if guests do not live locally; and finally keep a sense of perspective – it’s you and your partner’s day so don’t let things stop you from enjoying it.  

New research from finance company ING Direct shows that today one in three couples use their own savings to fund their wedding, which can now cost almost £16,500. Their survey of 2,000 adults also reveled that most people believed the bill for a wedding day would be less than £6,500, but the actual figure was £10,000 more than that.

With over £16,000 of your hard earned cash going into your special day, you need to cover every eventuality. Wedding Insurance (http://www.peacockinsurance.co.uk/wedding-insurance.aspx )won’t cover you for being stood up at the alter, but what if family members fall ill, your wedding dress is damaged or the venue floods? Wedding insurance can be purchased to cover almost any eventuality, available from only £50 including public liability insurance of up to £5 million, useful if a guest is injured when you throw the bouquet!
