Sorry for the delay in posting here.
We had a fab day! It wasn't the most MSE wedding but I can safely say it was worth every penny!
We had great weather, everything went to plan & ran smoothly!
Best of luck to everyone who still has their day to look forward to!
Gutted that ours is over!

Just thought I'd post my rant on here because I need to get it out of my system.

Some months (14th May) ago I visited Debenhams/Youngs hire to hire suits for my wedding on the 11th of August. We chose these as out of the 6 of us, 3 lived up here in north wales, 2 in essex and 1 in Nottingham. So we thought they would be ideal.
We were told the suits would be in approx 10days before the wedding (we get married on Sat, suits should all have been in a week the thursday before). I was told I would receive a phonecall on the Thurs to let me know they were in and I could have any changes sorted "there will be plenty of time"

I received a phonecall at the end of June telling me the 2 suits from Essex were slightly delayed, due to them being late being measured (they had been advised down there that there was plenty of time)

Having not heard anything I decided I'd best phone the branch on sat, when I did I was told that the suits for the 3 in north wales were in. The 2 from Essex being delivered to N Wales had not been delivered. I contacted the usher from Nottingham who advised me he had received a phonecall and had visited the store and was now returning home with his suit as it fitted well and all was there
Great I thought as 2 of us were off to store tomorrow.
On arrival we were told there were no waistcoats with the suits!!
We tried the suits on and 1 was ok (bar the waistcoat issue) and 1 needed the shirt changing (not to bad I thought).

I contacted the store once more on Tues to chase up the other two suits they chased them up and told me they were loading the van now and they would both be at the store in the morning (due between 9 and 10), My waistcoat had also arrived but shirt had not. The gentleman I spoke to advised me he was off the next day but would ask his colleague to check first thing and contact me to arrange a fitting.

By midday today I had heard nothing so phoned the store to be told he hadn't looked and would pop down now. He phoned me back to advise me only 1 of the outstanding suits were in (the other must have fallen off the van)
I visited at 1pm today with my best man (last one from N Wales) his suit fitted well and he was happy, Great! then I tried my waistcoat on it was too small, "no problem" said the salesman we'll get you the next size up. He then returned to me to advise me that they didn't have the next size up in stock and would I like a different one from the rest of my party. I agreed and chose 1, low and behold this one was out of stock too.
The next solution was to change all the waistcoats (which we agreed on and these are now due by courier to my house between 7.30 and 10 Friday the day before the wedding)

So at present with 2 days before my wedding we have the following
Groom - 1 suit, no shirt, no waistcoat
Father of the bride - Suit in store but not tried on yet
Father of the groom - everything but the waistcoat
Best Man - All ok
Usher 1 - All ok
Usher 2 - No suit

So with 2 days to go out of a party of 6 we have 2 members that we know the suit fits correctly!!!!!!!!

Sorry it was a long rant just had to get it out

On the plus side my Bride is now happy with her wedding dress (the 3rd one which she bought on Monday) :rotfl:

Good luck WBM! and maybe a strong letter post-wedding to Debenhams - not good service for your wedding party :-(

I've ordered the sunshine for Saturday!

I think the above will form a draft for my letter, already planning on one.

Thanks for the sunshine
