    Aw Louba, he's being silly. I don't think men are as bothered about the whole planning as much as us ladies are. Face it, we're all doing an awful lot of shopping and in my experience, it's the one thing that men detest doing. I'm sure he'll come round. He can't not talk to you forever!! :-)

    Loonytunes, the shoes I've posted a link to go up to a size 9 and others have commented that they are generous sized shoes. I agree, although my size 4's are perfect. Nothing but good reviews on these shoes, mine included.

    Could do with your opinions on my flowers. I am definately not having real flowers. OH won't even buy me flowers because they die so have ordered some from a1weddings on e bay.

    The seller has made one posy a bit bigger for me. I fell in love and all three posies which have cost me £35 plus £3 p and p.

    What do you all think??
    Yaaay, I finally conned a man into making a honest woman of me. Even more shocking is that I can put the words "Happily" and "Married" into the same sentence and not have life insurance on my mind when I say it ;-)

    One of them, we love the idea of a marquee but not sure we can afford it :(

    Ideal would be Hotel 1 and then a marquee nearby - there's a farm we've been told about which might be suitable.

    I'm not sure, for the late afternoon / evening reception it's going to be about £3k, maybe £3.5k.

    Screamer - I think the flowers look lovely! I had a look at silk flowers and paper flowers too in an attempt to be environmentally friendly and those look really nice compared to others I saw.

    Bubbles - brother is just being pig headed (!) He arguable has a reason not to speak to my sis but absolutley nothing has happened between us. He hasn't spoken to me in about 18 months..........and he hides in his room when I visit my parents (not making this up - promise!) - he's temporarily living with them. I'm hoping common sense will prevail - or maybe just my mum ;)
