I know this isn't the usual…

Anyone used Hen Heaven or Last Night of Freedom?

Forced into Prepare/Enrich Marriage Preparation
Hi all, Has anyone come across the Prepare/Enrich marriage preparation course? Our vicar is insistent that we have to do it before he will marry us, even though it is £25 and looks ridiculous (e.g. it suggests we schedule regular meetings with written times, locations and agendas to discuss issues, and offers advice like…

A slightly different dessert...
As we all know Valentine's day is coming up, this means that soon the shelves will be flooded with reduced chocolate. My family grabbed a £2.99 box of 64 very nice chocolates from an M&S outlet.

Can't work out if my party is Wedding Breakfast or Evening Reception....
I'm going to sound silly for asking but google hasn't actually helped me work out what mine is. Basically all the guests invited to the ceremony are all invited to the reception straight after (3/4pm). It's basically a sit down meal with a dance floor for later on. There are no extra 'evening' guests later on. A venue I'm…

to have a band or not?
I love Ceileigh and like the idea of having a ceileigh at the reception as do a lot of the guests (haven't said to any that I'm thinking of it). However OH doesn't and doesn't do dancing! and I'm worried that people will try and force him to dance and he's really not comfortable with that. Whilst he happy with the idea of…
