Hello, my name is Nicola and I'm from England and my question is what is an ideal wedding?

I think that depends on your own personal taste to be honest. Many girls, because I think it's the women that tend to be arranging the weddings rather than the men, but they tend to go for the traditional big, white wedding with the very expensive dress, the very expensive place to eat, to have the reception, the DJ and so on and so on.

Personally, I think that spending tens of thousands of pounds on a wedding is a waste of money. I would prefer something quite simple like a little ceremony with just some close friends and family of course, and then something to eat afterwards and maybe obviously some music to have a little bit of dance to and a bit of wine, but not something that costs so much money.

I do think that we go overboard with this type of thing, but it is your own personal taste and of course it's supposed to be a one-in-a-lifetime thing that we do, so I guess that's why people do spend so much money. What about you? What's your ideal wedding?
