Yes, I seewhat you are saying but you would possibly have felt differently if she was getting married at the registry office just down the road then going off to Jamaica.

No it wouldn't, at the end of the day we are having the wedding we want, not my Mum, and she will be happy we are having had the day we want not her.

I am not marrying my Mum, so it is OUR decision not hers.

She doesnt run my life I dont try and run hers. I got myself a big pair of scissors and cut those apron strings a long time ago.:D

I was actually replying to Dazi's post.

Its not a case of your mum running your life. She will say she is happy for you but she would, wouldnt she, its
what mums do.

So you make a decision because its what you want to do without any thought of hurting anyone else.

Anyway, whatever is said on here you will still please yourself. So I am now off

Where are you going for your cup of tea?

I hope you have a wonderful day. I got married on Thursday and my wedding cost £255.88 lol and we had the day we wanted, DH's family came to ours though.

What about rings? Did you mention them in your first post?

Just had a look and can't see anything about rings?

I'm sure you know your mother and if she will be gutted or not. My DH's father originally said we should just go and get married and tell everyone afterwards - so parents have different views and if you've been married before and done the 'Big Day' stuff then I can see your point of view. I'm just wondering if McKneff's daughter has been married previously or not because that too would make a big difference.

It's not for anyone to judge, it's an important day for the both of you and as long as you think it's exactly what you want then that's all that matters.

If it's any time soon then I really hope the weather holds out for you as it did for us

I imagine she will, because it's her wedding. We're not all the same, and don't want or need all the same, Mums included.

Kittie J, Your wedding sounds great, very romantic and intimate.

We are going to a lovely vintage tea room near where we live, It is always packed with old ladies, So the prospect of us turning up in all our wedding glory makes me laugh and will give them something to talk about.

Rings!!! Good question. I dont know what to do. We cant wear rings for work, but am aware we need to sort something out. Be assured they wont be bespoke hand made jobs thou, lol

I love the sound of your wedding, Great Hairdresser!
Its exactly what I want, OH wants to invite his nan which means we have to invite his parents , which then means we have to invite his sister etc......
So my lovely small wedding ends up bring a not so small wedding.

your so brave great hairdresser!
thats the same with me and my bridesmaids AimSay, i feel i have to have S2BSIL as one so i then have to have my three sisters too then i really want my friend as matron of honour!

AimSay

I feel for you bubbles even though its our special day there seems to be so much politics about it all. I dont want to upset people or cause family rifts but I do want a day i am happy and comfotable with. It is just finding that balance.

I don't have a "wedding" ring, as such. My OH made such a fuss about getting an engagement ring awhen I didn't really want one, that I decided it would by my wedding ring, as it was the ring we made a promise to each other on. I had also insisted that if I had to have an engagement ring, then so should he, so we both have one ring only, and refer to them as our wedding rings (didn't exchange them n the day though). Having said all that, if your are reading darling, and want to get me some diamonds, I won't protest!

Great_Hairdresser

AimSay and Bubbles - thank you for your lovely words. I know 2 people will not be very happy (or jealous not sure which) but am trying to stay focused and keep thinking its OUR day.

Jackie - Diamonds would love some, but funds dont allow, maybe my 10th anniversary I will get a rock to put Elizabeth Taylor to shame!

I am bursting with excitement thou and cant tell anyone, evey my step daughter doesnt know and she is coming. She has tried her stuff on, but I pretended it was for my niece.

Oh its killing me. Not long now thou
