BRIDES should consider travelling to their wedding in a taxi, wearing a second-hand wedding dress and asking guests to bring a bottle to the reception, according to the Church of England.
A new guide being used by the Church encourages couples to reject the costly culture surrounding weddings and embrace a more simplistic approach.

It also offers tips on how to create an environmentally-friendly ceremony and reception.

I fully agree that it is a WASTE OF MONEY spending thousands on a wedding. I can't understnad girls who spend over £1,000 on a dress they will wear for one afternoon and then maybe sell it for £200. The sensible person is the one who gets it for £200.. even then it's too much to pay just because a dress is white and has a bit of lace sewn on it!

The price of most wedding dresses is just a licence to print money as they can't possibly cost more to make than a normal long dress that people wouldn't dream of paying a similar price for!

There are so many things the money could be used for and in these days of recycling, people should be proud to save money, or even get an M&S or Monsoon dress and the same goes for bridesmaids... COMPLETE rip off to charge £100-£300 for a little girl's dress!

My wife looked at this article and commented with a haughty sniff, "Men!!! It's NOT their big day, so they can belt up!"

I ain't arguing with her.
