Far, far too much. You aren't getting a fiancé visa, are you?

All you need:
Plan to get married, with provisional bookings etc.
Enough funds to last the time you'll be in UK. You can be sponsored financially, in which case enclose their 6-month bank statement and letter of support.
Letter from your employer etc showing strong ties in your country.
Projected flight plans.
Your passport.

Thanks Joppa, I crossed out some of it. Thannk you


Where are we going to address our letters? To ECO? or to what? British consulate? I dont really have an idea.

Long Bond paper is fine? What size?

Loan as a way of financing your visit? Yes it would. Money must be a gift which you are free to spend as you like without having to return it.

Hotel reservation but how long are you going to stay? Hotels can be very expensive and this will impact on how much money you have available.

A foreign friend ofmine will help me and will send some funds to me. But he doesn't want to give a letter. Is it fine if we could just ask my mom or any relatives of mine to writte a letter and tell that the money is from them? Would that just be a letter to prove that it is a wedding gift?

Hi Joppa,

My mom will get a loan and she will give it to my by cash and I will be the one who will deposit it, is that fine? How will my mom make a letter? Should it be address to ECO? This would be her wedding gift for me.

Or, is it fine if she will deposit it to my bank account? Will it show to my bank statements?

Generally speaking, a gift financed by a loan isn't acceptable, as the loan needs to be repaid. A genuine gift is one paid out of disposable - i.e. spare - income.
