It is said that if you can’t beat them, just join them. But sometimes it is even more logical to adopt a mediocre means to accomplish the same aim as others than to follow the crowd and crush.

<p>After they got engaged in August 2016, they were so excited that they envisaged a huge record-breaking wedding which was estimated to cost them £14,000 (Ghs94,740.33).</p>

<p>Well, they had been preparing towards it, but Rebecca and Glen Maxwell later realised that they had bitten more than they could chew, and the pressure was weighing them down.</p>

<p>They then decided to prioritise their happiness over profligacy aimed at pleasing people.</p>

<p>Instead of a huge crowd, they chose to have only 40 wedding guests, including the best man, mother, and father. </p>

<p>As if that was not amazing enough, they again settled on wearing jeans and T-shirts customised with the words ‘bride and groom’ on them respectively.</p>

<p>With all the above cost-cutting measures, they were able to have a wedding which cost them (£1,105 (Ghs7,472.38) instead of the original £14,000 (Ghs94,740.33).</p>

<p>Rebecca and Glen Maxwell are so happy to have freed themselves from the self-inflicted slavery.</p>

<p>"When we were planning our wedding, we started doing everything to please other people. Our guest list was getting out of hand. </p>

<p>“You feel like you have to invite people because you don’t want to upset them rather than because you want them there," Rebecca told Metro UK.</p>

<p>It is crucial to note that there is no injunction placed on anybody who has more than necessary money to ‘spend’, but if you don’t have it, don’t go and kill yourselves.</p>
