I wanted a lowkey wedding so didn't bother with a dress or cake, trolls say a broke uni party would look better
Scroll down for a breakdown on the cost of a wedding in 2025 BUDGET BRIDE I wanted a lowkey wedding so didn't bother with a dress or cake, trolls say a broke uni party would look better A COUPLE who opted for a budget-friendly wedding shared the details of their savvy day. However, not everyone was a fan of the scrimping and saving, with some people comparing the occasion to a "broke uni party". Advertisement 2 TikTok user Amie shared an insight into the various ways she and her husband saved on their wedding day Credit: tiktok/@amie_barron In a TikTok video that amassed over 200,000 views, Amie Barron (@amie_barron) broke down the steps she and her groom took to pinch pennies. With the average wedding costing £200,500, the pair made a conscious effort to cut down on various aspects. Amie joked that some of the extreme measures "would put people in a coma". Veering from tradition The bride decided to opt out of the wedding dress tradition, instead choosing a comfy everyday outfit. Advertisement "We didn't dress up. We wore flannels, jeans, and boots," she said, sharing a picture with her husband from the big day. Amie and her bridal party also did their own hair and make up for the occasion. And the TikToker joked that she also took her shoes off "as soon as I said 'I do'." While the couple still forked out for a venue for the day, Amie explained that they saved by holding the ceremony and reception in the same room. Advertisement And the venue in question was the party room at their local library. For the food, the couple decided to skip out on the "fancy meal and fancy cake". I was fuming when I found out the reason my family hadn't RSVP-ed to my wedding - now they're uninvited Amie shared an image of the simple cake they opted for instead, which featured a simple Mr. & Mrs. topper, showing the couple's love for video games and reading. And this passion for gaming also played a major part in the day as the couple went home early to play Fortnite. Advertisement They did however enjoy some dancing to a playlist Amie made in advance, skipping out on the band or DJ debate. "We didn't want anything big or fancy," she explained, revealing the day went perfectly. However, TikTok users were not sold on the budget-friendly approach. Average cost of a wedding in 2025 Recent research by Hodge reveals the dream of getting married can come with a hefty price tag, reaching more than £20,000. Food - £6,000 Honeymoon - £4,329 Wedding outfits - £3,500 Entertainment - £2,000 Engagement ring - £1,948 Flowers - £1,110 Wedding ring - £1,000 Wedding transport - £700 Total = £20,587 Unimpressed reactions "Seen broke uni parties organised better," wrote one viewer. Advertisement "Why bother? Just sign the paperwork," pointed out another follower. "Playing Fortnite after your wedding must be the saddest thing I've ever heard," commented a third person. More on weddings Another bride shared how her mother-in-law wore white to her wedding and excluded her from photos "in case it didn't work out". One woman was set on a three-course meal for her wedding but ended up with a fast food buffet of fried chicken. Advertisement And a monstrosity of a wedding cake that still leaves the bride in tears after paying £300. Plus, tips on how to say no to being a bridesmaid without upsetting the bride.

Since then, the Bray native has been keeping followers in the loop with regular updates on her pregnancy journey. Taking to her Instagram today, the Ireland AM host shared a video of herself in the mirror, giving fans another peek at her growing bump. Blathnaid looked beautiful wearing a black maxi dress paired with black heels and gold jewellery. The TV star was all smiles as she posed proudly with her hand resting on her stomach. She captioned her post: "How do I have another 3 months to go, when I feel like I've been pregnant for 3 years already.

Fans and friends flocked to the comment section to share their love for her post. One fan wrote: "Beautiful." RTE star opens up on ADHD Alan said: "Congratulations." A third added: "You look stunning Blathnaid." Last month, Blathnaid revealed that "everything changed" after getting diagnosed with ADHD. The 2FM host got formally diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) last August after her husband suggested she had the condition. Speaking on The Six O'Clock Show, Blathnaid explained: "My husband is a teacher and he was doing a little bit of teacher training and learning about teaching people who are neurodivergent. STAR'S STRUGGLE "And he kind of said to me, 'I think you might have ADHD, you kind of have a lot of the symptoms, I think you have them'. "Then I started looking into it myself and I was like, 'Wow, this is me'." The radio star explained how "overwhelmed" she felt during that pregnancy. She said: "If you're a woman and you have a baby and you have ADHD, your symptoms explode. They go through the roof. And that's what happened to me. "I was kind of feeling all sorts of feelings and getting stressed out very easily... like really easy, finding things overwhelming. "Like stacking things, that can be something that people with ADHD, they kind of have a list in their head. "And they're like, 'Okay, I have so many things to do, I don't even know where to start. I'm not even going to do, I can't'."

Influencers arrested after posting TikTok video posing in front of flaming Russian plant after Ukrainian strike
TikTokers Dasha Vladimirovna, 21, and Karina Evgenyevna, 19, were filmed rapping in front of the burning facility RISKING VLAD'S FURY Influencers arrested after posting TikTok video posing in front of flaming Russian plant after Ukrainian strike TWO influencers have been arrested after posting a TikTok posing in front of a flaming Russian plant following a Ukrainian strike. A drone dramatically exploded the military-linked Rosneft-Kubannefteprodukt oil depot in Sochi. Advertisement 9 Russian influencers Dasha, 21, and Karina, 19, filmed rapping in front of burning oil depot hit by a Ukrainian drone in Sochi now face a police probe Credit: East2West 9 The pair posted the video online Credit: East2West 9 A police bulletin circulated in Sochi calls for the public to help locate two young women filmed rapping in front of a burning oil depot Credit: East2West 9 Ukrainian drones hit Rosneft oil depot in Sochi, sparking massive fire and explosions near airport Credit: East2West TikTokers Dasha Vladimirovna, 21, and Karina Evgenyevna, 19, were filmed rapping in front of the burning facility. They are captured in footage glorying in the Ukrainian strike which Putin's air defences failed to prevent. The video was posted to a track Crimson Dawn by singer Endshpil, a Russian rapper. Dasha and Karina were also with a man - but it was unclear if he had been hauled to the police as well. Advertisement A police "wanted" notice only specified the two women. 'During Internet monitoring, a publication was found showing two girls filming a video against the backdrop of a fire in Sochi,' a police statement said before the influencers were identified. It added: "The police have initiated an investigation, measures are being taken to identify the girls, and their actions will be legally assessed." Later it was confirmed the duo had been detained, and there were calls from pro-war outlets for them to issue a public apology over the stunt close to Sochi airport. Advertisement Kremlin moral guardian Yekaterina Mizulina, 40, head of Russia's Safe Internet League, said: 'Young people are filming content against the backdrop of drones flying into Sochi at night. 'I wonder what's wrong with the instinct for self-preservation? Defiant Putin bombs key Kherson bridge as Ukraine strikes back with massive drone strike on Russia's biggest resort 'Don't they understand that this is simply dangerous?' But the real reason for their arrest is the potential glamourising of a Ukrainian strike in Russia's largest resort. Advertisement Moscow takes an increasingly aggressive, extreme stance against social media stunts seen as highlighting Ukraine's successes in the war. A Ukrainian outlet Pravda Gerashchenko mocked: 'Russian zoomers are happy about the burning oil depot in [Sochi] - a new location for selfies. 'Ukrainian defence forces will definitely try to create as many such locations as possible.' The song 'conveys a search for direction, belonging and hope through music and the hip-hop community,' said one source. Advertisement 'It reflects on life's struggles, yearning for freedom, and finding strength and identity through artistic expression.'

The attack damaged a bridge connecting the city to the Korabel neighbourhood. A few homes and a high-rise residential building were also damaged, officials said. Advertisement A defiant Vladimir Putin has snubbed peace and is instead steadily increasing his overnight bombing raids - which could soon hit 1,000 a day. Governor Oleksandr Prokudin urged residents of the Korabel district to evacuate, citing complications with logistics and infrastructure. He wrote on Telegram: "As a result of the enemy airstrike, logistics have been complicated. "Because of this, it will be difficult to deliver food and other things for the time being." Advertisement Kherson Oblast, which is just near the Russian-occupied Crimean region, is frequently targeted by the Russians. Kyiv sought revenge by launching a massive drone attack targeting Russia's main resort city of Sochi, where Putin is said to be rebuilding one of his palaces. More than 120 firefighters were trying to extinguish a blaze at an oil depot that was sparked by the drone attack, regional Governor Veniamin Kondratyev said. A massive fuel tank with a capacity of 2,000 cubic metres was on fire, Russia's RIA news agency reported.
