Not enough money for a wedding? The couple sold tickets to the celebration
The couple can't afford a dream wedding, so the groom came up with a brilliant, in his opinion, business model and offered the guests to buy tickets for the celebration for $ 200.

The groom Ben Farina said that his wedding with Claire Moran will be like an all-inclusive holiday for the guests. The price includes a three-day stay at a Derbyshire estate with a swimming pool and spa.
Farina said that when he and his fiancee were at a friend's wedding in Greece, they spent $2,300. "People always pay a lot of money to go to a wedding anyway, so why not pay directly to the perpetrators of the celebration. I sell tickets that already include drinks and food. There is also a spa, an indoor pool and a lake nearby, so it looks like a small resort," the groom said.
"I never believed that we could afford such a wedding. We've thought about marriage before, because we have a child together. But I always thought it would be a simple registration, not a posh celebration. But Ben thought a lot and came up with a brilliant way. I can't wait for this moment," Moran shared.
Estimate for the wedding:
— Rent of the estate — 13 thousand dollars.
— 60 adult guests will pay $200 each — a total of $12,000.
— Parents with children will pay $70 for each of the 20 children — $ 1400.
— The groom's parents will give 1600 dollars.
— The newlyweds will spend $2,700 on alcohol, food, a wedding dress, bridesmaids' dresses, costumes for the groom and his friends.
— The bride's stepfather, who works as a chef, will cook a roast for the guests, and a family friend has agreed to perform as a singer.
Farina said that if his guests do not support this idea, they will have a simpler wedding. But all of their 60 adult guests with 20 children confirmed that they would pay for the ticket.
