Hi All,

I'm not too sure what happened to my previous thread but thought I ahd better keep you all posted - Tony and Amanda found out the results on friday evening for the competition to win their wedding but they lost (they came 2nd) :doh: a big thank you though to everyone who voted for them :beer:

I'm sorry they didn't win, but they probably wouldn't have come 2nd if you hadn't tried to help them:)

A valiant effort from you to help your friends though! I'm sure they will still have the day of their dreams.

That's such a shame, but at least you tried. It won't be much consolation, I know, but when we got married money was really tight and the whole wedding cost just a few hundred pounds. It WAS really basic, (boy, is that an understatement!) but we still had a wonderful day.

We've been married over 18 years now and are still very much in love. (Weeell, most of the time anyway! :rotfl: )

Having kind and thoughtful friends like yourself is worth so much more than money can ever buy and I wish Amanda and Tony loads of love and happiness together.

HOW is this a freebie?

I got married last year.

My dress £40 from M&S

Hubby & Kids suits £200 to hire

Rings - Mine £40 (was £160 ... 75%off as Index was shutting down)
- His £89 from Argos

Flowers £40 including posy

And that was it!!!!!!! We got married in Rhyl whilst we were away on a family holiday and being from Manchester it was just close enough to those there who mattered and leave those at home who didn't.

It was a fantastic day, the weather was perfect and it was the best day ever. My dad had died 6 weeks previous so a day of mixed emotions but the day went well.

So you can get married for less than £500 and still have the day of your dreams

mods, please move this utter tripe to somewhere more suitable.

Free voting (and a free warm fuzzy feeling inside if you treated it as a good deed done). It also would've been a great freebie to the couple if they'd won.

Maybe this could be moved over to 'gone but not forgotten' so that those who still want to chat about it can do so, and those who don't aren't prompted to criticise the thread? (Please don't have a go at me now, grey9101, I'm backing up your suggestion to move the thread.) Hope to help / keep the peace.

Hi,

If your friends are on a budget perhaps they could check out the wedding moneysaving tips on this site?

Ebay certainly came in useful for my wedding! (dress, favours, tiaras, jewellery, stationary, etc etc can all be found there).
