We got another £40, to go with the £132 we already have = £688, we're expecting at least one more batch before we get married so hopefully we will have what we need

We're looking to get our wedding rings off Amazon, and pay for them using vouchers from surveys and writting reviews. Plus on Amazon a platinum ladies ring is £340, compared to over £700 in the high street jewellers!

I just got my dress ordered this week, every shop I went in scared the crap out of me saying it took 6 months to arriveso I stopped browsing and just picked one!

I kinda got the niggling feeling I need to go talk to florists .......... I haven't got a clue what I want though. How long can I put it off for?

I've been told just to book a florist and not really worry about too much about what i want.. at least they are booked and will not be booked by anyone else.

ohhh lots of updates!
Was worried I wouldn't be able to be on this thread any more!
Last week our wedding venue cancelled on us, has been a very stressful week but managed to get a new venue booked for the same dates! and slightly cheaper! yay

Gosh why on earth did they cancel?!
