Danny Cipriani and AnnaLynne McCord launch wedding crowdfunding campaign

Former England rugby international Danny Cipriani and American actress AnnaLynne McCord have created a Honeyfund page to request contributions from wedding guests. The couple asks donors to give between £75 and £450 to cover items such as the marriage licence, flowers, cake, photography and other ceremony costs, with a total target of £10,660 excluding cash gifts.

The request has drawn criticism online, with observers labeling the appeal a cash‑grab and highlighting the broader trend of increasingly expensive weddings. Media notes that the average UK wedding now exceeds £20,000, and the couple’s appeal is seen as part of this escalating culture of lavish celebrations.
