    Congratulations, mhoc. Weddings are so exciting!

    The wedding thread will help loads, but hopefully some glitch champagne and wines will appear on here.

    Mostly she is very sensible
    But she has had a large pay rise recently, not quite sure exactly what she is being a bit coy about it - she has managed to save quite a lot already but I thought this was towards the inevitable house deposit - that now is def slipped further down the most wanted list

    I just worry that now she has a good salary her spending has also increased - really she should keep spending at the same level and saving a good proportion of the new found wealth.

    Also I feel that we are now the poor relations in the family :D
