Where are you staying on your wedding night?

In a hotel? At home? If a hotel, what kind of package are you going for?

    We are staying at the hotel where we are having the reception along with most of the guests. We got a free room.

    Most of us are also staying the night before as we have a lot of guests travelling down from Scotland. We're making a weekend of it.

    We are also staying at the hotel, 2 nights the same as paddington. Didn't get it free (actually it is the most expensive bit) we are having a suite - thought we'd treat ourselves!
    Thanks for the advice Martin! :money:

    I deliberately chose a venue a good way away from home - last time I was only about a mile away and didn't really see the point in staying away.

    All OH's family are staying the night before as well as 3 of my friends and DD - should be great

    We got a suite for the wedding night free with the wedding package deal, I've also booked in there for the night before, even though its only about 5 miles away from home - the rooms are beautiful and I think we've booked most of them!

    We're staying in a hotel, bed and breakfast in a nice room with a whirlpool bath. We aren't getting married anywhere near our home so have to stay in a hotel or we'd be staying with the inlaws!

    We're having the whole wedding at a country house hotel. We had to pay for exclusive use as its quite small, but it means we get all the rooms :D

    We're having the bridal suite, which has a double shower and double whirlpool bath :)

    We're going home, as venue just up the road, but his mum's having the kids that night, so might get a lie in lol
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    We're staying at the hotel where we're having the reception... Even though it's round the corner... Literally!

    We get a room free with the wedding package but have decided to upgrade to the four poster suite, we also get a room the night before for H2B and 3 months free membership to the gym before the wedding....

    Followed by 4 child free nights in Torquay... (Would of been a week in Sissi, Greece but MIL scuppered that!)
    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.
