    Tenth Anniversary Combo Breaker
    Just lucky that no one knows who our suppliers are so they can't be calling and changing things.that happened to,a friend who doesn't like marzipan so they ordered a tier on the cake that had none on so she could eat some and her inlaws changed it to all marzipan without her knowing until the day! Xxx

    Unbelievable!!!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
    Words fail me.....
    Don’t try to keep up with the Jones’s. They are broke!
  • Traditionally, a wedding is supposed to be one of the best days of your life. It is all about you and your future spouse. It HAS to be what you want, not what someone else wants. Your in-laws have had their wedding day, now it's your turn. As you are paying for everything it is really, if you think about it, incredibly bad manners for your in-laws to expect you to invite more people. You might be wanting that money for a house/car/honeymoon. As for inviting aunts that you haven't even met, that's ridiculous. Your future MIL sounds like she is going to be difficult about everything so maybe you should nip it in the bud and put your foot down now - what's she going to like if/when you have a child?
    Good luck, have a wonderful day that is exactly how YOU and your partner want it and all the best for the future.

    This is exactly what I said to oh the other day! I just think he wants to try to keep everyone happy atm tho, typical man! And we do want to start saving for a house and planning kids but obviously if we get into a lot of debt over this it won't happen for a while and no one seems to understand that. But for now I'm gonna keep on making things for the wedding and just crack on with finalising the rest of the suppliers and try to make the best of the situation xxx
