\u201cOur wedding on a budget.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom two people who cared more about being Mr and Mrs, than they did about anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lauren shared a snap<\/span> of her and her husband cutting into their wedding cake, which read \u2018Mr and Mrs Young\u2019, as she confirmed that she bought her cake for just \u00a360 from Cake Box.<\/p>\n
When it came to the wedding sign, which read \u2018Welcome to our Happily Ever After Party, Lauren & Connor, 23\/09\/23\u2019, Lauren explained that the sign cost just \u00a316.<\/p>\n

She confirmed that it was \u00a38 for the canvas, \u00a38 for the flowers and then the pair used paint they already had at home.<\/p>\n
To create the sign, they used a projector to stencil on the writing, rather than paying someone else to do it or having it professionally printed.<\/p>\n
Lauren then confirmed that she didn\u2019t spend any money on getting her make-up done, as she did it with stuff she already had, therefore making it totally free.<\/p>\n
However, she did decide to get her hair done for the big day, and spent \u00a330 on her sleek up-do.<\/p>\n
When it came to the registry office and the reception, it cost the couple \u00a31,350, which also included food and music.<\/p>\n
For the big day, Lauren wore a stunning off-the-shoulder white gown, which she revealed she nabbed for just \u201c\u00a3200 from Oxfam\u2019s bridal section.\u201d<\/p>\n
Not only this, but her shoes and veil cost her just \u201c\u00a335 from Vinted.\u201d<\/p>\n
Connor saved cash on his outfit too, as his suit was \u201cone he already had.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Instead of splashing the cash on a pricey photographer, Lauren claimed that her photos were \u201cfree\u201d as she asked her guests to take pictures of the day on their phones.<\/p>\n
Finally, where flowers, buttonholes and a car to the venue where concerned, the pair spent only \u00a3300, as they were able to get discounts \u201cthrough a few close contacts.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The TikTok clip, which was posted just 16 hours ago under the username @laurenevick, has clearly left many stunned, as it has quickly amassed 44,900 views.<\/p>\n
Social media users were open-mouthed at Lauren and Connor\u2019s fabulous, but budget day, and many took to the comments to express this.<\/p>\n
One person said: \u201cMaximum Love is all you\u2019ll ever need, looks so perfect.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another added: \u201cLove this! We did it all on a budget too, absolutely loved our wedding day. You look stunning!!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A third commented: \u201cLove this for you, looks amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Whilst someone else wrote: \u201c15k+ weddings are so outdated now. You really can do everything on a budget and use your money to spend on yourselves and your future<\/span>. Don't waste it.\u201d<\/p>\n

To this, Lauren replied: \u201cAmen!! People literally said it's one of the best they've been to and the registrar said in all her years she's never cried but almost did at ours.\u201d<\/p>\n
