    Dress and going away outfit?

    So, you don't just need fancy dress to get married in but also a separate costume to 'go away' in? :p
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Yes, that is fairly ''standard procedure''.

    I told my other half whatever she spends on a dress I am spending on a suit and we have to get back in the in 10 years to renew our vows. I challenge if nothing else.

    Ha!! How many 'married for ten years' peeps are going to fit into the same clothes? That would be a real challenge!

    You'd better allow a good amount of spare material for letting out. :p

    I know she will use the 2.2 kids as an excuse, but whats mine? should fatten up now so I have a chance.

    Luckily she is more than happy to spend a couple of hundred on a dress at most and I will be happy with a £150 suit at most, past that its just names.

    Luckily it seems both families are happy for a smallish cheap do, then rent out a bigger cheap venue with a cheap buffet for the night and invite the world.
