    Im loving that you spend so much time in shoe shops, the sign of a great husband ;) I hope mine turns out to be so understanding, saying that he has already had enough practise.

    I am hoping to get a pair of Aliaia, however i will settle for a lush pair of Louboutins or Jimmy Choo's.

    I guess my question is more along the lines of, if i have say £400 to spend on a pair, am i better doing it here or there? Ive saved a fortune on the dress,(and the day) now thats its shoe time, im feeling a little more happy to spend the cash.

    Not very money saving, but hey im only gettting married once and my shoes are important to me :o

    If you could ask your wonderful half if she thinks i should hold off or go for it now, i wont bear no grudges, just looking for honest opinion on where i will get more bang for my money.

    Many thanks in advance. :D

    for some reason everytime I try to quote it takes me to the sign in page despite the fact I am signed in. So in response to Duchys question on prices here I go:

    MGM for 7 nights and flight £661

    New York New York as above

    Mirage as above but £737

    We can get some money off these prices, but had we booked a few weeks ago when neither had the time booked off we could of got these for about £540 ish.
