Lucinda booked everything from fireworks and a string quartet, to an ice cream van - but the stress of organising and paying for everything quickly took its toll

A woman said her £40k wedding "ruined her life" - after planning the big day proved so stressful that it left her "broken" and unable to talk about it for three months after. Lucinda Rose, 39, was thrilled when her partner Ian Brown, 43, popped the big question in January 2023 after 16 months of dating.

Lucinda, a child psychologist and parenting coach from Frodsham, Cheshire, said: "The wedding took over my life from the second we booked the venue. We paid this massive deposit so there was a lot of pressure to get it right - down to the specific flowers, catering, decorations and the little details.

Lucinda and Ian, a civil servant, met on a dating site in September 2021. The couple booked their dream venue and Lucinda set to work pulling off her dream wedding, inspired by films such as Father Of The Bride. She worked full-time alongside organising the huge affair - spending every moment outside of work bringing everything to life. Suddenly their spending had neared £40k which raised the pressure even higher - as she wanted to make sure the money her family had contributed wasn't wasted.
