    I've always known I'm destined to be a wife and mother, I blame it on my comfortable small village upbringing where no-one got divorced and there were no kids with unmarried parents!

    Are you living my life, only a few years in the future?! Sounds just like me. We even have a Rich each!

    It is spooky; since you're younger than me I say that you're my stalker! :p

    I can't really help with that; I've been comfortable with the idea since I performed my first wedding between Barbie and Ken! I've always known I'm destined to be a wife and mother, I blame it on my comfortable small village upbringing where no-one got divorced and there were no kids with unmarried parents!

    Oh I want that role too, certainly more than this horrible modern 'career', but it's the wedding, not the marriage I'm talking about. Again, no issue with the pretty dresses, would wear one every day if I could!

    Hmmm, just elope? Or if you must get married with an 'audience' drink a bottle of champagne first for dutch courage! And watch lots of weddingy programmes and films to get used to it all in the run up.:rotfl:

    What percentage is that?! I'm just looking at small first-time buyer type homes ... if we're talking DREAM houses I want a converted windmill! First two I found online = £600,000 and £1,600,000!! Eek!

    No that's just looking at a 25% deposit. Hoping to live either Darlington or York way, or countryside in between. Unfortunately I've grown up in nice areas, and since we'd be buying as we married, and looking to start a family a few years later, would be looking at at least a 3 bed in a good area with large garden. Dream houses, sky's the limit really, but I don't dare look too dreamy.
