Having a second wedding is no longer limited to celebrities and royals, with nearly a fifth of Brits (19%) saying they either plan to or have already renewed their vows.
Each of these couples plans to, or has spent an average of £1,644 celebrating a happy marriage, according to new research from American Express®.
Londoners are the most likely to have a second wedding, with 33% saying they have renewed their vows or have intentions to do so, followed by couples in Birmingham (21%) and Leeds (19%).
However when it comes to the cost of reaffirming their commitment, Liverpudlians surpass Londoners – spending (or planning to spend) £2,285 versus £2,142 - followed by Mancunians (£1,990).
City Average spend
Liverpool £2,285
London £2,142
Manchester £1,990
Leeds £1,626
Newcastle £1,581
Jenny Cheung, director at American Express says, “It's heart-warming to see that many couples are reaffirming their commitment to one another, whether they have been married five years or five decades. Our research showed that for more than a third (35%) of couples, renewing their vows coincides with a milestone anniversary, and a quarter (27%) see this as an opportunity to have the wedding they always dreamed of but perhaps couldn't afford the first time around. Whether you're walking down the aisle again or attending a vow renewal ceremony, putting related expenditure on a card that earns rewards or cashback is one way of ensuring you give your finances some love too.”
