Weddings: Don’t Spoil Yours

Spoiling The Ship

A wedding is a major financial cost these days. These figures for average costs in 2019 are eye-watering.

1.Venue hire – £5,406

2.Food – £3,887

3.Engagement ring – £2,419

4.Drink – £1,587

5.Wedding dress/outfit – £1,313

And then with the honeymoon coming in at £4,645…

I can see why it is tempting to cut a few corners on extras such as the magician.

For a ha’poth of Tar

Sure, obviously you’re not going to risk spoiling the day by getting Uncle Bert to spend the afternoon pulling coins from the kids’ ears. Or asking him to play a few tunes on the spoons while he’s at it.

No, no. You wouldn’t dream of that.

But why not a magician for £100 off Gum Tree?

Well, be my guest.

Provided, of course, you don’t mind a spotty adolescent turning up, dressed in his best slashed jeans and magically producing a sponge phallus for your new in-laws…when they’re not even drunk yet!

And I dare say he could show some amazing poker deal tricks to the five-year-olds.

Then there’s that great one where he lays out all 52 playing cards in rows of seven and you chose a card and he gathers them up and he lays them out again and he points to each row and asks whether you can see your card in that row and the he gathers the cards in again and lays them out in rows of seven again and points to each row and asks if you can see your card in that row and then he does this about ten times and by the end you understand what ‘losing the will to live’ actually means.

There’s No Need to book A Professional

If he happens to spill red wine over the wedding dress (£1313, remember), well his insurance will cover the cost of professional cleaning.

Ah…he can’t afford insurance (not on the £100 you’re paying him, anyway!).

Well, may I recommend salt to soak up the worst of the wine.

Instead…
