Engagement ring insurance
Previously the ring was covered under our contents insurance but we're renewing and the new T&Cs won't cover the ring for loss or damage outside the home.

Struggling to choose venue...
Hi everyone, Got engaged two weeks ago and I know you're supposed to find this a majorly exciting time but I'm a bit overwhelmed. My fianc! is very chilled so he doesn't mind where we get married really or how we do it so I feel like it's a little all on me to choose. I really wanted a cheap barn type wedding. However it…
Best man can't attend - legalities
Hi. My daughter gets married tomorrow. Looks like the best man may not be able to attend. He is, of course, down to be a witness. It's a registrar conducted ceremony in a hotel. Will it cause any problems if someone else has to step in as witness at the last minute ? Thanks for your help.

I found this, and love it: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/180500748/the-sonic-solitare?ref=shop_home_active_3 (well, I love the whole shop to be quite fair!) ...but would like…
Budget wedding and growing own flowers
Hi all, I've joined the forum today as I'm getting married in 2017 and am hoping to find lots of inspiration for ways to have a special day on a small budget, as we don't have a lot of money and don't enjoy extravagant do's. I've been doing a lot of reading on the internet but thought I had better post and get talking to…
I dont like my invites
If anyone has any experience of this, or suggestions of how I get around my dilemma, I would really appreciate it. Wanted really simple invites, got a local printer just to print invites with the outline of a bride and groom, with the intention of adding a little ribbon for a bowtie onto the groom and a few diamantes on…
