Overview

• Chris Martin, 35, and Tasha White, 33, from Milton Keynes set up a Lopay card reader by the bar with a framed QR code at Furtho Manor Farm.
• Reports described the event as Britain’s first contactless or tap-and-pay wedding reception.
• The couple departed for a honeymoon in Mexico the next day after guests donated, though they declined to disclose the total raised.
• Guests said tapping or scanning was simpler than cash or bank transfers, and some people contributed more than once.
• Lopay used the example to promote its fees—no charges on the first £2,000 and processing from 0.79%—with founder Richard Carter suggesting the approach could spread.
