I've got a little further now.

Put a deposit on the rings and deposit on a limo. My MIL has done the flowers and is about to get the stuff ready for the cake. So were making good progress :j

Have been following this thread with interest and picking up so many tips for the notebook. I can't see your dress but would love to know where it's from as have fallen in love with two pieces on FairyGothMother which I could wear afterwards too (So pricey though).

I got it from this seller on ebay: http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZdannywolf1970QQhtZ-1 and also if you do a search for 'goth wedding dress' on ebay it yields a few similar dresses.

I love the Fairy Goth Mother site too and their shop in Camden.

Well I'm aiming for 20th September 2008 so we have over a year to go yet.

Still to pay for
Cake - £45 - 3 tiers from Tesco decorated by MIL

Bridesmaids dress fabric - £70 - made by MIL
OH's suit - £40 either from Asda or ebay
Invitations - £20 - making own so I can have them black

I'll wear my normal underwear!!! I'm a fully qualified make up artist and beautician so I'm going to do the make up. I'm not really bothered about my nails. We're saving for the honeymoon and we will see how much we have this time next year and see where we can afford.
