Couple CHARGE their 80 wedding guests £150 each to attend their big day at luxury hotel as part of groom's unique 'business model'


Ben Farina came up with the plan before proposing to Clare Moran (pictured together, middle), and their big day in June will be held at the lavish Knockerdown Cottages (exterior top left, bedroom bottom left) in Derbyshire thanks to the contributions of their guests. The groom has insisted it will be less a wedding and more an 'all-inclusive holiday' for those attending and the hefty entrance fee includes a three-night stay at the hotel and access to the pool (right), spa and games room. All 60 adults and 20 children have RSVP'd to say they will be attending and Mr Farina said the idea had 'gone down well' after denying being 'tight'. The idea stemmed from a wedding the engaged couple attended recently in Greece where they spent close to £2,000. Mr Farina knew his partner would say they could not afford to get married, so made plans to counter her argument.
