    I'm not sure on renewing vows.... I'm just not sure, ask me in twenty years time and I'll have a different opinion, but right now I'm sitting on the fence on that one.

    But you can't! There may be people reading this who are waiting for your permission to go ahead and renew their vows! ;)

    Seriously, chill out - if people want to go out in their wedding frock for an evening it really is their business and their decision to make. I don't think they will be doing it as a personal affront to you!

    This kind of thing is totally about personal choice - some people might find it rather tasteless to spend thousands and thousands on a wedding (which it sounds like your clients do) when there are people out there struggling to feed and house themselves, but it's nothing to do with them - each to their own!

    I think it sounds like a bit of fun!

    I probably wouldn't go unless all my close girlfriends were going too and we were having a laugh but I really can't see the harm in it.

    OP, maybe you need to lighten up a little?

    There's a world of difference between tackiness and having some fun. Personally, I'm not snobbish enough to cast aspersions on someone else's taste. Live and let live!

    PS my friends and I dressed up as Burlesque Gothic Angels for my hen night and we had a simply marvellous time! LOL

    As for wearing a wedding dress again, it is exactly that, your wedding dress. A one day dress that reminds you of your one day, I just think its rather odd that someone would want to dress up in a wedding dress after having all the fuss over them already.

    er - maybe they do it to remind them of their one day?!

    Yep I completely agree, its shouldn't be about the money, thats why I'm not spending hardly anything on mine. (Tack free event may I add with the exception being the hog roast but I don't think thats tacky)

    This is why I try not to get involved with weddings and try to stick to the production side of weddings, (production being the technical) people have such poor taste and I can't say anything at work, it pains me.
    I run an event management company, I put on events, I go to events, if I don't know anything about events - its not worth knowing!

    Rightly so, and don't come out until you can see your face in those pots!

    They have had their day. They need to get over it.

    Can you imagine turning up to this, to find another woman in the same dress but looking 'just' enough better than you, to ruin your evening :eek:
    :rotfl:Ahahah got my signature removed for claiming MSE thought it was too boring :rotfl:

    I'm a lady last time I checked. And no, I'm not married YET (3 months to go), and no, I'm not rich (I've plowed what little money I have into my company), and yes, I am a complete and utter snob in some people's eyes (including my mothers and my own), but hey, I don't mind 'cos thats what I get paid to do. Sort the chaff from the wheat.

    I can't think of anything worse than going to this event, I mean, I've worked on BAD events before, and trust me when I say bad (imagine a Father Ted episode then multiply it by a million) but I do love the idea of a scrap in the toliets!!!
