    Amy, I've been there, done that... but failed.

    Jay & I prepared all the things for our wedding last year. Then my Parents-in-Law decided to invite my mom & my two other sisters to be with us. So, we applied for 2 week-FAMILY visit visa. We prepared all the requirements needed:
    Bank Statements of the sponsors (Parents-In-law, Jay's Business - Personal Bank Statements)
    Bank Certification that they can afford their stay (Written letter from Bank Manager)
    Accommodation for the whole duration of stay
    An allowance of £1000 each totalling to £3,000
    Free flights etc...
    Wedding Invitation
    Wedding Date & Venue
    Copy of Certificate from the Church of Intention to Marry etc...

    My mom, provided her bank statements as well as her business financial reports etc...
    My youngest sister, her school records from the Dean of the School (testifying that she needs to return to finish her studies)
    My eldest sister, her Certificate of Employment & Bank Statements too...

    But... The Home Office denied the application.
    REASONS:
    a) Not satisfied on the balance of probabilities, that we meet the ff requirements of Immigration Rule 41:
    - That are genuinely seeking entry as a visitor for limited period as stated
    - That they do not intend to leave the UK at the end of the period of the visit
    - That they do not intend to take employment in the UK
    - That we will maintain and accommodate ourselves and any dependents adequately out of resources available to us without recourse to public funds or taking employmet etc...

    SO DENIED!!! hehe but gave us the reason to have another wedding in the future which is great! (optimism)

    it just shows you, you can have lots of evidence to support your visa app, but some case worker for what ever reason can refuse you on the balance of probabilities .

    some people have got a visitor visa with hardly any evidence, looks to me its a lottery, they pick a number of apps out of a hat and grant them a visitor visas and refuse all the rest

    so its always worth trying for a visitor visa, only thing you could lose is the fee, but small price to risk if it means having your parents at your wedding

    it's a sad, when you cannot even bring some of your own family to the uk for your wedding

    but because of the visitor visa and student visa abuse, i can understand in away why many are refused, but surely if your visiting family and you may want to visit them again your not going to abuse the visa.
