    i said if theres anything at all she needs,


    just ask her real dad. :rotfl::rotfl:
    now thats mse :D:D:D
    ill be paying up to £1500 towards the dress, although i said she could bank the cash.if she used the one i got for her sister

    I would bank the cash every time if it was me:)

    I certainly don't see the point getting in a load of debt for one day:o

    It's so long ago for us that I can barely remember. I think we were given money by my mam....as I'd already lost dad:o and we were told we could do whatever we wanted with it....ie a modest wedding and buy stuff for the house too or a "big do" with nothing left over. I think my in laws paid for the evening do if I remember rightly.

    We went for a very modest do:)


    We didn't....

    My view was I was only doing it once and I had the whole lot!!!!

    very Un mse...but at least we still share the memory.

    Can I ask the Elite what the current protocol is when your children marry......who pays for what these days?

    I promise this is not for me....I think my two are years away from that but a friend has asked me and I haven't got a clue.

    If you have a son, should you offer to contribute to the wedding?

    Any advice will be passed on:)

    Off for a catch up



    Hey....it's been red hot today:T:T

    Dreading what answers you might get to this, what with having three girls. :eek:
