    Well everything went good today. The reception was lovely and we went ahead and booked it. Total for 50 guests and 80 at evening party came to £2300. I think this is pretty good as we are getting a wedding package which includes tea and biscuits for guests on arrival, 5 course meal, evening buffet and honeymoon suite. It now seems offical that we are going to get married.

    Its a 4 star hotel and its amazing very posh. I can't wait now. I really must save every penny now to pay for this.

    There is lots I want to do to but we have to take it one step at a time.

    Hey Debt Cruncher!

    I have got back into comping recently using any spare time to plug away at the competitions on the board, and there are loads of wedding-related ones. Maybe you could try this - you could win something fabulous! Even if it's no use for your wedding you could Ebay any winnings (My plan unless I win a mahoosive telly!)

    I am not sure about the dress because it is a winter wedding I would like something to cover my arms cause I am always feeling the cold and I don't want to have arms with goose bumps lol.

    i always fancied a winter wedding so i could wear a velvet wedding dress - how daft was that. In the end we had the most perfect day possible in September, but i was insistent on sleeve even then, but that's cos i hate my arms

    Did you have a dress with sleeves or did you wear a jacket? I have looked at so many dresses on the internet and I can't seem to find one I like.
