If you had a £50,000 would you do anything differently?

Me & OH were talking about that last night... (not 50 gran tho, money no object). We decided:

We would change our theme to science
Hire the London science museum as the venue
Serve drinks in test tubes & beakers
Use periodic tables as table plan
Periodic table of cupcakes!
Flowers which follow the fibonacci sequence in test tubes as centre pieces
We would still have a reading which wa written by Charles Darwin, and we would still have a Douglas Adams themed exit song.
We would get the "spoken nerds" to perform (a but like magicians, make stuff happen, but they explain it with science so it's even better!)

Yeah, we were dreaming.... :rotfl: n that would be much more than £50,000.

Ah but I'd still try and be money-saving about it, just on a much bigger scale!

If money was no object then I would open a tab at the bar, have more people at the wedding breakfast (only afford close friends and imediate family) and I would bring the wedding date to June 2012 rather than June 2014 :j

Actually, depending on the size of the wedding party, it probably would!

hahaha I just read that and thought oops better change that quick - OH would nearly have a heart attack if he saw that :rotfl:

First I would have some Manolo Blahnik Sedaraby's at $755. Then the whole Reception venue would be dressed in twinkle backdrops (I just have the one at the mo), there would be more drinks for the guests, my family would stay over for free, I'd have a 4 tier cake instead of 3...

Dunno if that would be under £50k!

Wanchai, I thought the same as you. Apart from I would try and buy somewhere in France!

Hahahaaaaaaaa yes I would pay someone else to come and turf my backgarden (instead of transplanting grass from another area of the garden), and someone else to come and plaster the walls/skirting/coving the dining room/stairs/landing and retile the kitchen, and fit and tile the downstairs toilet. Ah the joys of deciding we want a 'house/garden party as our reception :rotfl:.
(I wouldn't actually change the venue though).
