Our credit crunch wedding cost £597

As a little girl, Odette Fenwick dreamed of a wedding fit for a princess with a horse drawn carriage and a lavish
reception. But when Odette, 19, fell for her prince, he was rich in love but a little less so in gold - so instead of
spending £25,000 on their big day, they are getting hitched for £597.29.
 
Odette said yesterday: "I would've liked a big wedding but it's too expensive. It's better like this as we've enjoyed
the bargain hunting.“ She bought her dress online from auction site eBay for £52 and second-hand rings for her
and groom Chris May cost £19.Their 30 guests have been asked to bring their own food and wine for a reception -
at the garage door showroom where Chris is a fitter. And they will get 89p a bottle Chardonnay instead of
champagne to drink a toast to the happy couple. No expense has been considered for a honeymoon. Instead of
going away the newlyweds - who have five month old daughter Bailey - will have a romantic stroll on the seafront
near their home.
 
Odette said: "I am looking forward to the big day. Then with the money we save we are hoping to move into our
first home in April and to have a nice christening for Bailey. I'd consider a posh second wedding one day if we can
afford it but it wouldn't be half as much fun."The best bargain is my dress. It has never been worn and is a perfect
fit. It's as if it was made for me." Chris, 21, added: "I'm so happy I don't mind what sort of wedding it is."
 The couple, of Ilfracombe, north Devon, have persuaded a radio station to loan them a car for their August 16
register office ceremony and a local newspaper photographer will take pictures. Their biggest expense is £170
hiring suits for Chris and his father Geoff, 44. Two gazebos for the showroom reception have cost £70 and 40
plastic champagne glasses were £13.26.
