Wedding Venue in Administration - advice please
Afternoon all, In just over five weeks' time, my partner and I will be getting married. We discovered a couple of weeks ago (from a friend who'd heard it on local radio!) that our venue is in administration - staff not been paid for weeks etc. We had just that week handed over a cheque for £7k being the balance owed, but…

What to do about shoes...
I am stuck! My feet are an awkward size - just smaller than a 3 so while I can wear 3s, they have to have straps or they won't stay on my feet. But on the rare occasions I find size 2s...they are too small. So I'm probably a 2.5 which just doesn't reallt exist! Despite this I've always been really into shoes (I don't know…

Where to buy waistcoats?
I know this has already been posted somewhere but can't find it Where is the best place to buy waistcoats for me? I am looking for ivory (i think) so I can compare the price of buying them against the price of hiring. Currently thinking the men can wear their own suits and we hire/buy cravats and waistcoats.

Hey guys. After some advice from some seasoned money savers about my dilemmas - apols if covered elsewhere in the forum - I'm new around here :) So an old friend of mine is getting married.

Band or dj?

I have got a price for a dj (£300) but I remember my cousins weddings having a empty dance floor with a dj and I don't want the same. I wasn't sure if to go with a band or dj?

Even though I am eaing loads and loads of fruit and veg and drinking lots of water, I am looking (and to a lesser extent feeling) reall run down.

Honeymoon upgrade
For the second night after we get married we're staying in a hotel near the airport, we managed to get a free upgrade by emailing explaining its our honeymoon. I have tried the same for our cruise but had no reply. Just wondering if anyone else has tried or will be and what you got. Our registrar said she will write us a…

Anyway, we are around £1500 short for the big…
