    Very exicted. I'm determined if I wish hard enough it will arrive today instead!

    I'll find a dress this evening. I found a lovely one last night, but its in a magazine. Will see if I can find it online later.

    Lol! See thats the thing, we'll need all these things. However obviously money would also be handy since we can get things we need or pay it off the mortgage etc.

    Maybe you could leave the list out of the Irish invites and get the money instead. I'm sure most Irish people will give you money as they know you won't be able to carry items/presents back with you. The lowest amount people would give for a full day invite is €150 and most relatives give about €250.

    Wow, thats a lot of cash CMD.

    Okay, my DOTD.

    Woiman does look a bit like a lemming who has gotten stuck at the wall though... and for some reason there is no front pic - but the back is lovely! Quite like the idea of a sig colour/theme colour on the dress that links me to the bridesmaids and groom and groomsmen etc.

    I think if people have come all the way from Ireland for our special day, we kind of need to invite them for the full day!

    Yeah, as I said. It can be quite a generous amount. Something to talk to NIM about anyway!

    The DOTD is beautiful. Is that Maggie Sottero? I love the lace but am a bot biased cos my dress had lace. I like the vintage look.

    It IS a lot - you could pay for the wedding if everyone gave that much!

    That dress is lovely - really like the sleeves and the ribbon. You seem to be going for very classic/romantic type styles...

    ETA - Poolie that's so tempting! Still don't think we can afford it unfortunately tho I'd love to go beginning Dec for OH's 30th... :(

    There is a lot more like that on the BA site. Just becareful as some are only 1 way so they don't look as tempting.

    Hello! I've had a road trip to Chorley this morning, it was very exciting... not!
    I like the DOTD, I can see you having a really vintage style wedding, all lace and tea roses!
    By the way I've just had to read 6 pages to catch up, stop talking so much! LOL!
    Oooh, and I think it was Poddle who said she'd been looking at wedding dances on You Tube, my favourite one is a wedding party dancing down the aisle to Forever by Chris Brown... I think it comes up if you search for JK Wedding Dance, it's fab and I'm begging OH to agree to do this at our wedding!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    I like the dress, the sash is a nice touch.

    I think putting the list in the English peoples invites and not in the Irish is a good idea. Have to ask NIM what his family would respond to best.
