    Yeah I do not think anybody has been round for the half bottles that were left.

    Did the package arrive? It was addressed to both of you.

    I have to agree that i would want to honeymoon somewhere hot, exotic and dreamlike. OH is still trying to bring me round to the idea that you can actually have a good holiday in England :rotfl:
    Dont get me wrong i have had weekends away in England, but never a full weeks holiday. The idea that when we have kids we wont be going abroad horrifies me :rotfl:

    Oh once they're 4 or 5 they can go to a cottage in France or something, but when they're really small its a lot of faff. I'm the same with England, and Ireland. It's not a holiday, just a 'break'.

    God no, I'm not engaged!! I just keep on planning and perfecting my wedding. I told OH once if he asked me to marry him I'd have everything sorted within 24 hours :o

    Flower - I love UK holidays! Which is handy seeing how me and OH can't afford much more than a little cottage for a week.

    Just found this website that rents out amazing houses in the UK http://www.landmarktrust.org.uk/ They're all jawdroppingly pretty! Completely out of my price range but I can day dream :D

    I agree, and i know how annoyed i get when we go away and theres screaming babies on the planes. I cant even imagine why you would want to take such a young child somewhere hot anyway - surely they would just be hot and bothered and grumpy the whole time!

    Just found wedding venues locally looking for the next wedding fair, and I found a lovely hotel with a wedding in a box. 40 people, everything provided you couold possibly want from the food to the photographer to the flowers, £3945. Sounds hassle free and easy, I'm sold!
