    Oooh Austria would be lovely! Always wanted to go there, but there are loads of places on my 'want to go' list, but I'll get to them all eventually!

    Currently have 32 potential venues on the list to go look around - eek! Going to try to trim the list a little.

    32?! It might be a good idea to trim it... you know.. just a tad.

    I went to Austria when I was about 9 but I've always wanted to go back. It's honestly one of the prettiest places I've ever been too. It's just a matter of OH choosing between Austria or Italy for next years holiday, seeing how I chose this years!

    Uhoh. Found an amazing place I once went on a conference at and it does weddings. Would be amazingly perfect, relaxed, beautiful. Only two issues. One is no candles, two is its in the middle of York - about an hour away from our house!

    Thought of a third issue. I'd quite like to be able to stay at my venue over the night of my wedding and as this isn't a hotel, its not possible.

    Couldn't you stop in a hotel near by? Instead of candles you could do vases of fairylights like this would still look pretty! As for it being 1 hour away from your home you could get guests there with this! might be completely geeky of me but I think they look so smart!

    Dinah 1 hour's not that bad, and considering how far NIMs family will be coming it's not a lot to ask. Events organiser head on here though - what's it like for car parking if it's in York centre?! :o:o:rotfl:

    Lol I do like the bus! But then it has to take everyone away again and its going to be very expensive to have a midnight bus. I'm going to go through the venue list a bit tonight, talk to NIM about how far we're willing to travel etc, as there are some great venues on there but an hour away.

    What bank is it with Flower? What a bloody pain! 10 days is normally an over estimation though, right? When the cash machine ate OHs card they said it would be 10days but it came in 5 - he's with HSBC though.
