    Ah thanks guys. it was great and so pleased with the photos that the photographer took, was a bit worried as they were only £250, with full copyright too, i just said as long as i get one decent one i will be happy, but i am happy with all of them! Cant wait to see everyone else's, my son took loads and what i saw of them i think i have a photographer in the making :D

    It really was such a fantastic day, no nerves on my behalf, my sis and best mate were running round like headless chickens it was so funny :rotfl: I was like can i just get married pleased. FIL surprised hubby with getting his mum there, as she only has a few weeks to live :cry: , the hospital where great and she came with 2 nurses, so her being there really made it, he cried through most of the ceremony.

    I cant believe it's all done now though! What am i going to do with my time, and i cant believe it was all done for well under £2000, with our mini honeymoon, bargain!!!! And i loved my flowers they look so real in the photos and i can keep them forever :D

    Congratulations Kate, fantastic photo's. Everybody looks so happy!
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Hi no not cheeky to ask at all, not sure how we managed it really, i suppose its having a budget and no means of credit meant we could only afford what we had. I have spent hours and i mean 100's of hours on the internet mainly ebay, and i like a bargain, dont we all! Here's a rough breakdown

    My dress - £105 plus delivery
    2 x kids bridesmaid - £70 (reduced in freemans cat half price)
    2 x adults bridesmaids - £56 ( best buy, from a shop on ebay )
    Suit hire x 3 - £275
    Car hire 5 days - £95 ( 7 seater for ceremony, smaller 1 for honeymoon sisters discount included - dad paid )

    Food - £ 240 ( Evening buffet as didnt get married till 3pm, friend did it for 60 people, and soooo much left over!)

    Foam flowers - approx £ 120 (my bouquet, 2 adult, 2 children,6 buttonholes and 2 corsages

    Table decoration - £90 - Ebay find here link to them, i love them, approx £12.50 a table - http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll36/wilsonkate/wedding%20dress/our%20wedding/olivers/Picture241-1.jpg

    Small flower for buffet table - £20

    Rings - £100 - from america

    Hall hire with staff - £67

    Disco - £150

    Photographer - £250 ( dad paid half, so £125)

    Cake decorations - £20

    This is the price for the main things, i brought my hair extensions and makeup but i see that as stuff i will wear and use again. Serving notice did that so long ago so not in budget! Dont think i have missed anything out, but do be prepared to search for the bargains!! My computer is feeling lonely now i am married :D x x x
