I know this will piss some people off but...
... I'm all for marriage. It's a good thing. But keep wedding plans down to earth. There's too much emphasis these days on having the BIG day, and plenty are happy to take your money for it.

Personally I got hitched in 2007, started divorce proceedings in 2008 and finished paying for the wedding day in 2010. Turns out she was more focussed on having "her" day, than on actually being married.

I'm still in awe that "wedding photos" can cost THAT much!

Good advice
it should always be about the marriage and not the wedding!
Good luck Kip, hope it goes your way x

Oh, and marks and spencers do a decent wedding cake for £99
Actually it's 2 cakes to make a 2 tier jobbie. Think it was £59 for one tier and £39 for the other.

I'm getting wed in October
and we're all for cutting costs. I'm also fully aware that it's not just MY day, it's FoldsFive's day too. He's been married previously and his first wedding was all about her rather than them as a couple.

We aren't doing it for show, we're doing it because we love each other and I'm lucky enough to be marrying my best friend in the world.

/yes, lame and gay but there we are

Listen, BS, I know it'll be your first time on the big day, and his second on his, so he'll be more experianced than eaither of us.
But from what I gather, it only hurts the first few times.
