I married for love... not for £150

I don't know whether to laugh or be insulted by the latest "policy" by Tory Party Central Office.

£150 to get wed.
£150.
One hundred and fifty pounds.

Now depending on where you look, the average wedding cost here in the UK is somewhere between £15,000 and £25,000.

That's right, the average LOWER budget for a wedding is £15,000.
So £150 is 1% of the cost of the wedding.

When we got wed, we were very careful with costs, spending a fifth of that amount, but I'm sure we spent more than £150 on flowers alone.

Do the Tories think bribing folk with £150 to get wed will do the trick?

I admit they're talking about £150/year, but that's still not enough to buy most people their local daily paper.

The Tories are out of touch with life in Britain, they insult not just married couples, but all those who'd like to marry.

They insult love.
