    have done it!!! - am so excited now (although I think OH is a little bit worried as he thought putting a ring on my finger would calm me down for a while and give him a few months peace!!) :rotfl:

    oh so glad I could help. Saraca is lovely, you can chat for ages!! Let me know if you want any tips or help finding things! I am loving hunting out bargains! Going abroad is our biggests cost but we would rather spend our money on wedding in paradise than paying for guests we haven't seen for ages to eat a 3 course meal! Our blessing and reception at home is coming in at £2k so don't think I am doing badly!

    well, I am finally online at home, and getting started planning this wedding. So far we have a guest list, which is growing all the time (!), and a sort of idea for a theme. We're having a red and yellow wedding :). Just this evening we've found a really fun wedding invite that's pretty cheap so we might go for that. Still a lot to do, but it's actually fun.

    hi SmlSave :) I'd like to go to Barbados too! hehe wont happen for a while tho. maybe for our ruby wedding if we start saving now :rotfl:

    I've come a long way today... I asked my brother if he would take some pictures and bake the wedding cake and he said he would! He takes a pretty good picture, cos he's methodical and has a good eye. We're both camera shy, so we're just gonna get a couple of nice pics which Pete will take, and he'll take some snaps round the evening do as well for the album.

    The cake has to be gluten free for my mum and Pete makes a fantastic gluten free fruit cake that he does for Christmas so he's gonna make one and I'll find someone else to ice it...

    I've been looking for someone to make me a red and yellow feather fascinator as well, although one of my budgies is going the right way to being the yellow part of it!

    We're getting there....
