On this forum? :rotfl:

On the Money Saving Expert forum you ask if we'll be 'money is no object' or 'budget conscious'


Just made me laugh... thought it would be obvious

My confession of the day is... I will beat my mother to death with a wooden spoon if I have to discuss our wedding cake with her one more time!

I havge a very specific and quirky idea for a wedding cake and have done for a long long time. My mum lives the other end of the country from me and I know she is worried she will be "left out" when it comes to planning our wedding so I am doing my best to include her in as much as I practically can. We originally had an offer from a family friend to make our wedding cake as a gift, however she is also the opposite end of the country to us and when we were discussing the design she stated that the design we had in mind would not travel very well so she didn't think it was practical for us to make it for us etc etc. I have since got quotes for our designs from several local cakemaker. Up pops mother a couple of weeks ago and offers to pay for our cake (we're paying for the wedding ourselves in the most part) All well and good but she keeps mentioning that she knows someone very good who is local to her. I have told her several times that I am sure this lady is wonderful but the design we want will not travel very well and will need to be set up on site etc but she's just not listening and whenever we talk about it she acts like I'm refusing the offer of her cake lady doing it is some kind of snub! I also think that our cake will be more expensive than she thinks and with her hubby out of work I know she'll say she can afford it when she can't and do somthing stupid like put it on her credit card and then struggle with the repayments. I have tried gently suggesting that we could go out and choose flowers, table des, bridal jewellery, ANYTHING else together but that I don't think the cake is a practical thing due to the locality but she seems to have it in her head that this woman local to her is the best woman for the job and that it would be best to get her to do it and my Mum to pay for it. I'm due to call her tonight as I do most weekends but I know from messages we've exchanged that the cake issue will come up again as she's driving me CRAZY!!! I know she wants to help but why she has her heart set on the most impractical thing for her to cover and help organise is beyond me. I love her dearly but after the 7th conversation about this bloody cake it's taking so much to keep my temper with her.

Aaaaaaahhh - Rant over!

I love Gypsy Weddings and OH really, genuinely believes that I will have a 13ft wide dress. I play up to it and have been making him 'practice' dancing with us both bent in the middle around my imaginery dress... I find it relieves the stress. :rotfl::rotfl:

I hadn't thought of the wooden spoon - brilliant plan! My mother's LATEST escapade has been to post all over facebook with a link to 'wedding firework displays' stating how lovely it would be if we had one...
um... firstly, I have sensory processing disorder... this means firework displays make my head hurt. Also, we are having our reception in a PUBLIC PARK which makes fireworks illegal


She too is always saying how she 'doesn't feel she's doing enough' which I'm pretty sure is code for 'why aren't you letting me do anything' as it always comes out when I mention my future mother in law (who isn't doing anything except gifting me some old fabric for my dress)


I try to tell her that NO-ONE is doing anything. It's not a big fancy wedding... it's really chilled out (because my dream wedding is a wedding I don't need to stress about and I won't feel sick when paying for... so far, we're doing well at both of these) BUT she doesn't listen. She's coming up to visit next month to see the reception venue and go to our church with us - I'm hoping this will make her feel more involved.


Mothers ey? Who'd have 'em... (actually mine was fine before the engagement... the wedding has sent her barmy)

Here's my shameful confession... I wasn't actually that bothered about the shade of my dress, I was initially thinking ivory... until shortly after my engagement when my mother turns to me and said 'Well, of course you won't be wearing white'


My dress is now pure white. Not any shade either side... brilliant, bright white. And you know what? It looks AWESOME.

You could have a sensory display with no/little sound to it. Fireworks aren't illegal in public parks if you get the right permit and permission off who ever owns it, I know because I'm a pyrotechnist lol this is our website for wedding fireworks http://myweddingfireworks.com/
