“We invited whoever wanted to come and everyone got the chance to attend a wedding,” Amelia Irwin told BuzzFeed. “We got amazing wedding photos, spent all our wedding money on something just for us. It seemed perfect – the answer to all our problems. No paying for others to eat, drink, party – just spending the wedding money on ourselves and travelling the world! Those who wanted to come could come.”
All together the couple had ceremonies in India, Russia, China, Nepal, Mauritius, Paris, England and South Africa. Throughout all the ceremonies the couple had one constant guest, their 5-year-old son.
Both sets of parents attended several of the ceremonies, with her parents going to England and France, and his going to China, Mauritius, and South Africa.
“They were both really supportive. Although my parents did think we were a bit mad, especially as I lugged eight wedding dresses around the world,” she shared.
The couple spent about £10,000 (around $14,600 USD), which is “less than an average wedding.”
“We live to travel, and I would far rather spend the money on travelling than on a party for a day,” she said.
