I don't have any help, just OH and myself. The hotel say they are happy to lay the tables (favours cards etc) but no decor. How are the rest of you…

As part of this effort I'd really like some honest feedback from people about how they're finding my website and any comments in general.

Ebay Wedding Dresses
Hi Guys, I've just started the very daunting task of organising our wedding for September 2009. The venue we've fallen in love with is very expensive (we're working on getting them to give us a discount at the moment) so everything else needs to be budget. Fortunately the venue costs include most of the other things we…

Yankee Candle For Silver Wedding Ann
I'm an avid Yankee Candle fan & have had a request from a friend asking which candle would I recommend for an anniversary gift. I know a fair bit about all the Yankee scents but there are soooo many fragrances to choose from, so is quite a difficult one for me! Her msg to me was: "My very good friend is celebrating her…

Hatton Garden prices - match online prices?
I've never been to Hatton Garden before but we might be going there on valentines day! We'd planned to buy our rings from BettsMetalSales (trade prices online registered as a hobbyist) but it would be more lovely to buy them in person. Do you think any jeweller in Hatton Garden would match their prices if we printed off a…

Groom Speech
With just 9 weeks to go until my big day I thought it was time I wrote my Groom speech. I've now written a full draft and put it in Excel where I've broken it down into 12 palm sized cue cards but am after some advice. - I've written it as I would say it, word for word. Is this a good idea or should I just ad lib the exact…

New York Wedding
We have been engaged for 18 months. Our original plan was to pay off our debts (will be clear in 16 months) and then super save and take our kids on holiday to the Caribbean and get married there with as many family and friends that would like to come. Well this has caused so many arguments already and it's really…

DIY Video Guest Book
I can never think what to write in wedding guestbooks, but thought it might be fun for our guests to record us a quick video message instead (especially as there will be some children present). I know I could just set up my laptop with webcam but that's a bit boring. I found an Apple app called 'Thrilled For You' which…

Ideally I'd like to have everything sorted so that I'm not running…

Honeymoons - wheres yours to be?
Where's everyone going for their honeymoon? OH doesn't like flying, so it's either a UK honeymoon, or somewhere within a reasonable driving distance in France. Anywhere else in Europe (if we used Eurostar) seems forever and day in the car otherwise and don't really fancy it being over 4 hours so it limits our options, so…
