At the weddings of today even the bills are shared!
IF your daughter’s .wedding is looming large, then-by now you could be reaching for a handkerchief to mop your brow, or preparing to consult the bank manager to arrange an overdraft.-

are still the biggest, with an average of 100 guests each consuming £2.65 worth of drink. Food costs around £5 per head and the cake an average £55.. Yorkshire receptions, however, were the most sober, with 25 per cent less spent per head- on drink. It is relatively easy to

The “Wedding" Day
and First Home” census rather goes to prove
that we do — and all this is achieved on aver age savings . in Lanca shire of £3,516 by the time the wedding day dawns.
The savings — or the
majority o.f them — appear to be deposited with building societies, the Post Office looking after just 4 per cent ana the banks 42 per cent.

account for: 74 per cent of first homes and 86 per cent of couples opt for a house rather than a fiat.
