When to get wedding insurance?
Hi everyone, As the title says... i'm just wondering when you buy the wedding insurance? We are getting married in April 2014. We've found a venue, visited it twice (2nd time being today) and we are awaiting a quote. We haven't paid a penny yet, not even the deposit. So should we get the insurance now before any money has…

Jealousy - the evil monster that rears it's head during weddings
With just over three weeks to go until I say "I do" I have realised that there will always be that one person who hopes your wedding is rubbish and usually it's a family member. Let me explain a little; my sister got married in 2010 in a ceremony made for two in Las Vegas. She had planned the whole big, white wedding and…

What I have learnt today (dress shopping)
I went to view the registry office and grounds in the next town today and had planned on popping into the 2 wedding dress shops there to have a look around and just see if anything caught my eye. I called one this morning just to see if, on the off chance, they could fit me in and they could :T. I was really bricking it to…

Ideas for a gift costing around one hundred pounds
Sorry, I'm on stupid computer with no pound sign! My brother and sister want to buy us something for our wedding to the value of about one hundred pounds (they are both poor students so this is quite a big thing for them!). They want it to be a specific thing rather than just putting money into the wedding pot. They seem…

Wedding album
Hi everyone! Hope all your plans are going well! I have chosen my photographer, and got a great deal. We're going for a basic package which doesn't include an album. The ones they do look fantastic but they are waaaaay out of my budget, and I don't think we should spend so much money on something we might get out once a…

Wedding underwear
Just in case anyone is after some nice knickers! Was in Matalan today and they have a new bridal lingerie section, they have some silky kind of pants in that have rhinestones on the back... I saw both 'The Bride' and 'Just Married' ones with either pink or blue trims. And... a total bargain at £4!! I got some Just Married…

Double barrel surname already - change of name help for when married?
Hi, I'm having a bit of a dilemma; I currently have a double-barreled surname and will be getting married in September. I do not want to give up my surname when I marry as I have a strong attachment to both parts of it, and it is part of my identity. For work purposes I don't want to change it either. However, my partner…

Present for Groom
Hi Guys I'm trying to think of a present to ask our best man to give to my hubby to be on the morning of the wedding. I was thinking of a watch but he isn't really a jewellery person - its been hard enough to convince him that he'll get used to wearing a wedding ring! Now I'm thinking of putting together a hamper type…

Lying about it being a wedding?
I'm reading the wedding tips thread (in another window cos it's so long) and came across people mentioning lying to venues and saying they were having a party rather than a wedding to get a better price. Can you do this? Has anyone tried it? It sounds like a great idea in theory but won't a venue get a bit miffed if you…

how much cash as gift for a friend careless with money
Hi, I have a friend who is absolutely useless with money. She lives off her over draft, goes on holiday every three months, taxis instead of public transport, no concept of living within her means you get the picture etc. She gave me and my dh £300 when we got married last year which was ridiculous. Her fiance also did…
