    My sister called off her wedding 4 weeks before it happened. Her hubby to be admitted on his stag night to one of their joint friends he didn't love her.........the friend nearly lamped him one before hauling him in front of my sister the next day to tell her himself.

    and the girl he had been emailing as a 'friend' whilst with my sister........he is now living with her.......lucky escape really for my sis........

    Hello , Brave of your daughter Bookie, my friend had a massive wedding thing and hated every minute of it, really started the marriage badly(debt) and stressed them both out. Good for her!

    I agree, really brave. We had the big doo, because that's what everyone expected us to have, but looking back it was such a waste of money, spent to please other people. I didnt hate it but I wish we had just had a quiet doo somewhere :o
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
    Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:

    Thanks folks.
    we have decided to sneak the news in before DD2's baby arrives so it will get forgotten quickly. Thought about waiting until after so don't upset things but think better this way. :D
