  • 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.
