little annoying things

I've just come across my friend's blog - he's getting married next year, and I think it's great to get the blokes perspective (and I thought this thread might need that?) http://www.wbotcm.co.uk/blog/ it's called 'the wedding blog of a clueless man' Tis very funny.

LOL! Thanks for the link giddy, just read the latest post. Roller disco? Only if they have ambulances on standby; I doubt booze and rollerskates mix well..... :rotfl:

He's quite brilliant isn't he? Thing is, that is exactly how he is - he's not hamming it up at all! Beware, don't drink and read his blog, it'll end up all over your monitor!

I have one more thing thats a little annoying and i dont know what to do??

My mum and dad are paying for the reception side of things - meal/venue/a drinks package for the meal which i really cannot thank them enough for but the problem lies on the taste testing for our menu. Its our wedding day so we should choose right?? but my mum insists she is doing it because she is paying. I am a fussy eater but my mum and dad aint so i want to keep things pretty simple but i know they wouldnt. What do i do? let them do the taste testing or shall we do it??

Can you not compromise and chose together?
I personally think it should be should be down to you and H2B but as we all know everyone always wants their say on weddings, especially when they have contributed financially!
Maybe if you both worte down you ideas of what you think should be included then sit down together and go through them and see if you can find some middle ground?
Or say she picks the starter, you pick the dessert and you both choose the main?

Just an idea

Why don't you & your OH narrow the choices down to 2 of each course, then both go with your parents, and each vote on the dishes? Then it is all something that you two have chosen, and your parents feel that they have had their wish to choose what they are paying for.

new one. i told h2b that i want to make my own button and felt bouquet, and if it goes well, the button holes and corsages too. I had to tell him because i don't get any time alone to make anything secret. He said that's fine, and i can do what i want. He then said his mother would still want fresh flowers and he probably would too, if he wears a button hole, he's not sure he even wants too. There's nothing quite like support is there!?

It took a little gentle persuasion to get my h2b round to the idea of felt lol.
