Wedding Day in offing.......flippin' expensive!

When we...my other half...got wed back in the day it cost for everything £54 in total! Nothing fancy of course, for that price no way! But it was the best day ever for me even though it was held in the local reg. office and the room was more of a cupboard which could only hold me and he with two witnesses...my sister and her husband at that time [since divorced] but my dad and his buddy gatecrashed it with a bouquet of tea roses wrapped in last nights chip paper that dad had pulled from the lamp post waste bin on the street outside ...and as we left the office and made our way outside into the reg. office to the gate leading to where our car was parked, the answer to the question of where dad had gotten the bouquet of  newspaper wrapped roses was answered and explained why, as I walked along with dad's gift held in my hands and the odour of fish and vinegar wafted along with me, there was a little trail of soil dropping down along with some wriggling worms and the roots of the roses slowly following down and peeping out from the crumpled paper edge....for as we passed the little garden edging the path there were pot-holes and soil crumbs trailing onto the concrete paving ...needless to say we started to move very quickly from the scene of the crime! Dad, I must explain in his defence, was ......rather inebriated and not totally in his usually good behaviour!  My girl and her fiance have set the date to wed ....I am making the invitations and other stationary to save a few pennies but so far the DRESS has cost an arm and a leg! Not to mention the photographer cost and the venue bill and the cake tasting to decide if a couple of hundred is okay for what the future bride decides is acceptable for her.................I am having trouble sleeping at night .......I keep seeing pounds disappearing rapidly over fences instead of sheep...... Anyone know of a good supplier of balloons and the gas to fill them....and is this a cheaper option from flowers? :)
