naa, fuck that
it doesn't need to be that expensive. The venues, and food and booze and all that gubbins are costing us about £5.5k for 80ish people I think.

At the risk of sounding horribly materialistic about the happiest day of your life
I wouldn't mind getting an idea of total cost. One day I'm going to bloody well ask the missus to marry me and I'd very much like it if I didn't have to save up for two years after getting a yes

Do the saving up before the asking.
I can recommend opening an account with the Cayman Island banking system. Those chaps are very helpful and unfailingly discreet.

I reckon I'll have plenty of time to do the saving
I'm getting quite fond of this offshore banking thing, I'll see if I can get my Nigerian contacts to transfer the money I'm promised straight to the Caymans

Which is almost £80 per person.
You must really like your friends and family.

I imagine he's told them all that they're costing him £80 a head
so they know how much to spend on wedding gifts

I wouldn't be so crass

No I didn't really think that was likely
Although it's not a bad idea, for anyone of diminished moral standing.
