David Mitchell shares his thoughts on the changing face of modern weddings. The Church of England was accused in The Telegraph of ‘pouring misery’ upon the happy couple, profiteering and forcing the cost of a wedding up to an average of £20,000 (£321.50 is the basic fee for a wedding in the Church of England with no extras like bell ringers). It is amazing how small the ‘wedding part’ of a ‘wedding’ actually is, both financially and as part of the proceedings.
It is interesting to see what someone who sits in the pews or the comfy chairs at a hotel thinks is actually going on with these increasingly extravagant events.
