Wedding bands (musical kind not precious metal!)
Hi I wondered how everyone is doing with looking for live music for the evening? I found a band but the agency don't let you see them because they only do 'private functions'. I find this the most bizzare thing ever given they are asking over £800... What ever else in life would you pay that for without setting eyes on…

Will there be people you don't know at your wedding?
Following on from my other thread about over-inviting guests, I noticed quite a few people saying they don't want people they don't know at their weddings. I don't know if I'm strange, but there will be lots of people I don't know at my wedding, and vice versa! I have met all of OH's tiny family. He has met most of my huge…

Catering own wedding
Hi guys, So we've decided to do our own catering (Don't panic, readers - we will have lots of help from family and friends!).

Summer 2013 Honeymoons
Hi there Following on from a discussion in the June 2013 thread just thought I would make a thread of its own for discussion... All the main travel operators eg.

Guest list - are you 'over-inviting'?
Hi everyone, happy sunny Monday! I FINALLY pinned OH down at the weekend to make his list of friends and family, so we have a guest list shaping up :j We are in perhaps a strange position in that there is very little wiggle-room on our numbers. We need 80 for the day. This is the venue's minimum number, but it's also the…

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue..
Inspired by another thread, I decided to start one for us to all say what our something's are :) Mine are: Something old: a stunning piece of costume jewellery from my Grandma's Grandma, which is over 80 years old. It looks similar to swarvoski AB crystals, and is just all crystals. Something new: my dress, along with a…

Something old...
Is anyone bothering with this tradition? I am not superstitious at all, but think I would like to do it for traditions sake. I have a book of psalm's that my great grandad gave to my great granny, I think on their wedding day. In it I have a few pressed pieces of foliage, which has gone brown and are not particularly…

I don't wear much makeup normally and generally just go…

Book as a present for little girl whose parents are getting married?
One of my relatives is getting married. They have a little girl and I was hoping you could get a book called something like - my parents' wedding - where they could make a sort of scrapbook of the day (like you get my baby book and fill in details and pictures about you). Does such a thing exist? Thanks
