"Wouldn't that be the perfect wedding? Why do they even need the Sicilian leg of it?"

[00:00:00]looking at Duipa's London wedding, which is the legal part of it.

[00:00:03]>> That did look so glamorous, doesn't it?

[00:00:05]Lovely. Yes, I do.

[00:00:06]>> And I was trying to work out the cost and um and I was writing my newspaper column about it this morning. So, I looked up how much does it cost to get married at old old Marillean town hall, which is where they got married. Very traditional register office right on the main road in London. Lots of celebrities use it, but so does everybody else. It's just the, you know, convenient place.

[00:00:24]And and the the top price there is about £1,400, but you can get married there for £800. She was carrying just a bunch of renunculous. I mean, I don't know what's the most you could charge just for a bunch of call it 50 quid. Yeah.

[00:00:38]So, call it, you know, 1,400 plus 50 quid for the flowers. Then call it the taxi journey to a restaurant. I call that 50 quid. So, you're talking 1,500 and then dinner for a handful of close friends and family at a London restaurant. Doesn't have to cost the earth. And the whole thing would definitely come in under five grand, wouldn't it?

[00:00:56]>> Yes.

[00:00:56]>> And I thought, wouldn't that be the perfect wedding? Why do they even need the Sicilian leg of it?

[00:01:01]>> Why not? This is the thing. Why not?

[00:01:04]It's her wedding. If she can afford to have a big Italian extravaganza with, you know, a flight pass and, you know, Elton John's been parachuted in whilst playing the piano and, you know, swans and why not? I just why not? I just want to say I have no knowledge that any of this is happening. Um, but this is just what I would do if I were you Julie.

[00:01:28]>> Why not?

[00:01:29]>> Why not? I I I do think weddings have changed dramatically because we're all getting married a lot older than we did before. So therefore, people normally have more money than they did before.

[00:01:38]>> They do. Don't they say there's an actual correlation? The bigger the wedding, the less chance that the couple will stay together. The less chance. And I just bear witness, you know, I I'm, as you know, divorced. And we had 10 bridesmaids, 26 men in white tie and tails. I mean, a full black, you know, black tie dinner ball extravaganza. And look, here I am single. What can I tell you?
