Weekend Money: Why Britons are turning away from traditional weddings

By Emily Mee, Money teamHeather-Anne Horton was having recurring nightmares before her big wedding. She and her fiance Josh had booked a manor house in the UK for their wedding, along with a band, caterers, florist and cake. Although she knew she wanted to marry Josh, in her nightmares it would get to the big day and she would realise she'd forgotten to write her vows in all the stress of planning everything, financial worries and pressure from some family members.

This was the case for Zoe Ashbridge-Law and her husband Stew, who had always known they didn't want a traditional wedding. Zoe says she hated the thought of doing a first dance, while Stew is 'quite introverted' so found the thought of doing a speech 'nerve-wracking'. 'We were trying to avoid paying for a day that actually wouldn't bring us any joy,' Zoe says.
