Yep it's massively expensive! The only way we could do it was to have just the ceremony and meal there for about 30 people max then a reception elsewhere but that would still cost a fortune!

Years ago I did some breakfast waitressing at a little hotel round the corner from my mums and they had a nice tudor style reception room and I know they are fairly reasonable so I think that would be a front runner IF we ever get hitched :rotfl:,

Heres a link for you:

As OH is the nervous type I thought we would do minimal numbers for the actual ceremony but after out talk at our friends wedding reception it seems he may have other ideas

That looks so cute and intimate Jody....I really like it! Shame I don't live near by!! x

this is link for where I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to get married...... http://www.themanorbarn.co.uk/

Sounds like you got a good bargain there Jules . I think weddings can cost as little or as much as you want them too, I know there are certain things I would want but I would also like to do a lot myself and I certainly would not be paying hundreds for a wedding cake or the like.

I don't think it's likely either of our families would be able to help money wise but I already have a list of useful people with useful talents in my head :rotfl:

I made my own wedding cake and I've made one for a friend before.....

aw thank you *blushes* our photographer was very good!
I want to go on some sugarcraft courses etc before I start advertising myself! Will need to be a viable business before I can give up work as well! I do commissions for friends though

I see we're still on the wedding talk ladies :rotfl:

I haven't gone as far as to look at venues or dresses but did manage to slip in the ring sale at H Samuels last night We were watching Goldigga and Proud and one of the goldigga's managed to get a guy to propose with a £12,000 ring, OH's jaw dropped and I slipped in 'don't worry love, the one I like is only £524 now!'

Clever eh?!

On another note, I notice Adam is steering clear of this particular topic! :rotfl:

Wow Jules they are some awesome cakes there , very elegant!

Choc that place looks stunning! Absolutely gorgeous, I can see why you like it so much . My favourite Maidstone venue is an old mill and it's beautiful but costs a bomb as it's a venue charge then you have to get outside catering in, meh .

The problem I am having now is that a lot of people I know either have got married recently or are getting hitched next year and are using up all the venues I like :rotfl:, I just don't want to get married where someone else I know has, yes I'm odd I know!

If_My_Pennies_Were_Pounds

Not odd at all, my sister's venue will be ruled out for that very reason!

Lovely cakes Jules :T

Did you get any reaction to your comment?!

I think Xmas is going to be very hard for me if he doesn't propose. I hope that doesn't come across as being demanding/selfish etc....OH knows how much I love Xmas and I really thought he was going to propose last year but he didnt. I know I will spend all day hoping for a ring and I'm worried about how down I will feel if I don't!
