Brides are increasingly shunning summer weddings and getting married during winter instead to cut costs amid the economic gloom, figures suggest. Register office data shows that thousands more people are tying the knot between October and March than in previous years, to save money on hosting receptions. Companies offering wedding services are also reporting booming business as couples take advantage of prices thousands of pounds cheaper than during the peak summer months. The number of couples getting married in winter has risen by up to 15 percent in some areas, with winter weddings now accounting for more than 30 percent of all marriages in Britain. |
