We're 23 and my FIL has been living with us for a year

You choose whatever furniture and wedding you want - as long as it's within your budget. Nobody can tell you otherwise. Before you decide on which sofa to buy, have a look at https://www.nabru.co.uk
I bought my sofa from them nearly 7 years ago and it's still good as new. Just an idea

Good luck with getting FIL out of your flat and I wish you all the best for the future

Thank you for the recommendation, I've already sent of for colour samples.

Valid points but..

Why does money saving mean that I have a second hand or one costing next to nothing? Can I not search for a bargain that fits my desired and affordable budget for myself?

Just because I could afford a suite for £1500 doesn't mean I'm going too. My budgets £800. That's my money saving there. Doesn't mean I should only go and spent £100. I've moved into my first home to not be able to put anything in it. I've had this money sat here waiting for this moment for over a year. Me and my partner work extremely long hours and work hard to afford our beautiful new sofa.

Never mind the views on me having to have a registry wedding, a pub, what? That maybe someone's else's money saving dream wedding but it's not mine.

Mines in be most beautiful hotel that I've come across. It's going to be my 'typical princess day' again I could afford to spend £15,000 if I wish but I'm NOT. I have set my own budget of £8000.

That may be completely again your MSE rules but for me I'm saving sill based on MY OWN budget.

I am sorry if that offends you.

I think Big Aunty meant her post on money saving as a bit of tongue in cheek humour

Princess12;68781265, you're probably too stressed just now to have recognised the intended gentle humour in Big Aunty's post. She wasn't having a go at you.

Relax, enjoy planning the new living room and let us know when you have the house to yourselves (please ).
