So when can we expect to see tickets for your wedding up on ticketmaster.com (this is a joke, I'm just pulling your leg )

As a general rule you don't outright ask for cash at an English wedding, if I thought I was invited because I gave a good gift at another wedding I wouldn't go! (as the people who know me will tell you this has never happened )

Weddings shouldn't be about money anyway, for my "gift" to my girlfriend brother's wedding recently I did evening photographic cover and a reception video diary, this didn't cost me much to do, but the value to the couple was very great indeed. (BTW you can see the video diary here)

I think gifts shouldn't be about the money, and a wedding certainly shouldn't be about making money or aiming to break even. Just my opinion.
