Forex<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>How does it work?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">On average couples will spend \u00a37,000 with local suppliers when planning a wedding abroad, which will be broken down into smaller payments to each supplier, incurring a number of transfer fees and variable exchange rates by banks or other third parties.<\/p>\n<p>WeddingForex allows its clients to lock in an exchange rate and benefit from reduced transfer fees which could ultimately save them upwards of \u00a31,000 on the overall cost of their wedding, not to mention a honeymoon or any additional travel requirements later in life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">They can also offer use of the service to their guests, for booking travel or accommodation, with guests spending an average of \u00a3700 to attend a destination wedding, savings could be significant for them too.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10150124\"
