But for Mandy Reader, who got married on Saturday in St Lawrence, it was having everybody there to enjoy her big day including 36 bridesmaids and 10 pageboys.
The new Mrs Reader, 38, was married to 36-year-old Jason at St Lawrence Church.
The happy couple, of Chadwell St Mary, had an added treat with glorious weather.
Mrs Reader extended her generosity by auctioning off table cloths and wedding arrangements for Essex Air Ambulance and St Luke's Hospice.
