  • we've been together since July 2016 & have lived together for a year in our rented house.
    Have been engaged since September 2017.

    I'll be putting £180 away in wedding savings & £100 in my H2B isa until i can afford to put more away once we get close to our wedding savings goal.

  • The more people you are having to your wedding bash the more you are likely to be able to get free or cheap.

    Free catering if people bring food for a pot luck. Free disco because someone will have the kit. Free function room because there'll be enough takings through the cash bar.
    A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.
  • I don't have a lot of people to invite and none of my family have those things.

    We're looking for a venue which includes most things - he wants a package to lessen the stress.

    Someone told me this in my mid twenties. I wish I'd listened as I'd be in a much better position in my 50's.
