| Case Studies |
| Last year, couples getting married could have expected to pay around £18,490 on their wedding day according to the latest annual Wedding Costs Survey, the most comprehensive research into the cost of getting married, conducted by Weddingplan wedding insurance.
The increasing costs of fairytale weddings and perfect civil partnerships are putting extra pressure on a day which can already be stressful to plan. If something goes wrong how many people could afford to lose the money that they may even have raised through loans or wedding finance. On top of this how many people could afford to rearrange their dream wedding or civil partnership; paying for wedding venues, caterers, marquees and everything else involved all over again.
This is why wedding insurance is so important. In many cases with Weddingplan wedding insurance you could get your money back and possibly even get some help with the extra costs involved in rearranging your wedding reception or ceremony.
Here are a few real life examples of how Weddingplan wedding insurance has helped couples when the worst has happened.

| Illness prevents bride from marrying |
| Tom Gaines was looking forward to marrying the love of his life, but three months before the wedding his wife-to-be was diagnosed with a serious illness. Successful treatment followed, but under strict doctor's orders it was imperative for her recovery that she had 8 weeks of uninterrupted rest and recuperation. This sadly resulted in the cancellation of their big day.
Luckily though, the couple had taken out Wedding Insurance with Weddingplan and received over £4,000 to cover their cancellation charges. Happily, with the financial help from Weddingplan the couple were able to rebook their wedding for a later date.

| Groom's illness wrecks wedding plans |
| Neil Spencer had planned to get married in April but in the run-up to the wedding he fell seriously ill.
Devastatingly, doctors told Neil that he would not recover for over a year and that he would need to spend the next three months in bed, forcing Neil and his bride-to-be to take the upsetting decision to cancel their big day.
Luckily, the couple had taken out Wedding Insurance with Weddingplan and were able to make a successful claim for the cancellation charges and rearrangement costs that they incurred, allowing them to eventually have the special day they had dreamed of.

| Vanishing dressmakers |
| Sarah Rushforth thought all her wedding plans were going smoothly until two months before the big day.
Eager to check on the progress of her dream wedding dress, she phoned the dressmaker to make an appointment. To her utter dismay the shop had closed down, taking with it all her money and her precious dress.
Luckily Sarah had taken out wedding insurance and was able to claim on her Weddingplan wedding insurance policy - she received a payout for the full cost of her dress.
"Not having a dress was my worst nightmare and with only two months to go before the wedding after nearly two years of planning I was desperate. Without the payout from Weddingplan I wouldn't have been able to buy myself another dress and have my dream wedding."
