| Record Money: Wedding Bills
EVERYONE wants the day they marry to be memorable - but, if you're not careful, you could end up remembering it for the wrong reason. The typical wedding now costs about £18,000, making it one of the most expensive single events most people are likely to face - apart from buying a house. Few couples have that kind of cash to spare, so the vast majority must save or borrow - and the credit crunch is making both things more difficult. That doesn't mean you can't still have a great day without decades in debt, but it does mean putting extra thought into what you spend and how you fund it. Carrie Herron, a financial adviser at investment firm Bell Lawrie, says: "The best advice is to save or invest - whichever is the most relevant to you - rather than borrow.

Papoose Dismisses 'Ridiculous' Remy Ma Escape-Plot Rumors, Promises Appeal And Wedding
With thoughts of injustice flowing through his mind, Papoose erupted in anger in a New York courtroom Tuesday after hearing that his fiancee, Remy Ma, had been sentenced to eight years in prison. "I got a little bit aggravated. I think anybody would," Pap, wearing a wedding band on his ring finger, said in New York's Platinum Studios Wednesday. "To see a female get persecuted like that for something they didn't do. ... Then, on the other hand, you see Sean Bell get murdered by police and they just walk out the courtroom. A crime they admitted they did. Then somebody that's suspected of a crime goes to jail and gets sentenced to eight years. These police gun a man down and murder him. In the same city a mother gets snatched away from her child. It's aggravating." Remy Ma (born Reminisce Smith) was sentenced after being convicted of shooting her onetime close friend Makeda Barnes-Joseph during a dispute over money.

MCGREEVEY: I DON'T KNOW WHO PAID FOR WEDDING
ELIZABETH, N.J. - The nation's first openly gay governor testified Thursday that his estranged wife paid for their 2000 wedding but he doesn't know who paid for their honeymoon to Rome or how much it cost. "Dina handled the wedding arrangements, and the wedding trip and to a large extent she handled the honeymoon," former New Jersey Gov. James McGreevey testified on cross-examination, during his second day on the witness stand in his high-profile divorce. McGreevey, 50, and his wife split in 2004, the same year as his resignation. He stepped down 13 months before his first term as governor was to end, announcing in a nationally televised speech that he was "a gay American." He said he had an affair with a male staffer while married to Dina Matos McGreevey.
