Wedding insurance can save the big day
With the cost of an average wedding having risen by around £2,000 a year in recent times to reach£20,000 in 2006, Marks & Spencer Money has said that wedding insurance is important should something threaten to ruin your big day.Liz Neild, media relations manager for Marks & Spencer Money, said the cost of an average wedding now is "frightening", but advised that wedding insurance could offer some consolation if your wedding turns woeful.Although wedding insurance will not cover you if your bride or groom-to-be gets cold feet, it could help you recoup costs for damage to the wedding dress or cake or having to cancel the whole day due to illness. Ms Neild explained: "It's very well worth investing in. Cancellation is the biggest one you can be covered for. Things that can cause cancellation can be somebody in the wedding party being taken ill or dying Or it could be something like the wedding venue going into liquidation You've got two options with cancellation cover: you can cancel the whole thing and get all the money back, or you can claim up to 75 per cent of the cancellation cost and rearrange." She added: "There are lots of other elements of cover, like wedding outfits, loss or damage of rings [or] cakes. We've had quite a few claims for red wine on wedding dresses [And] you can actually have your photographs retaken - which obviously means dressing up again and doing the whole things all over again, but you can have that done."
