I'd rather have a stressed mum butting in and someone else paying
I'm struggling to see how we are ever going to be able to afford anything after the wedding. Or before and including it.

we're doing that as much as possible
unfortunately I can't make my own venue, clothes, band and tropical island paradise honeymoon location.

You can make clothes
Although I am enjoying the idea of you sewing your beard onto something

It is possible to make clothes.
I cannot make clothes.

I have zipped it into something before. That sucked. Particularly as I was walking down a busy high street when I did it.

If I'd filmed that it would have been a surefire hit on YBF and I'd have been £250 richer

it wasn't quite as dramatic as you might imagine

It would be after I "accidentally" threw a rugby ball at your groin

that is true

I know
We're trying as well to do as much as possible ourselves, but still, it's going to cost a lot more than we thought.

I'm very lucky, as my father works for people with quite a lot of money in Tenerife, but he doesn't like to charge them more than what it's necessary for him to live, so they always try to give him money when they see the opportunity. These clients are paying a good chunk of the wedding too, as well as letting us use their cars, houses, hotels for guests... I can't complain at all.

hopefully my mrs should be getting a payrise soon
which will help a lot.

The trouble we're having is that our car needs servicing, and a new cam belt, we've got a room to get plastered and paint etc. to buy, as well as trying to save as much as possible for the wedding.

We're lucky that we've got a really good photographer as a mate who will do that for free, and hopefully we should be able to get a good band on the cheap.

It's weddings costs on top of living costs that is proving difficult!

I'm quite annoyed with Mrs V's sister as well, don't care that she got engaged shortly after we did and is getting married sooner, but it's pissed me off that she is having her wedding on a fucking Thursday.

Her sister isn't called Helen is she?
Because she's getting married on a Thursday and I'm not happy about it
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 9:32, Reply)

nope, Annie

On a Thursday?
Who gets married on a Thursday??

I know how you feel. My PC broke on Friday, and I don't think it can be solved. What do I do, do I buy another one or save the money and live without PC at home?

help look through all your photos and replace Mark's face with my own
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 9:38, Reply)

I'm not going to actually do any work on the computer
just go "it sounds like the ram" etc until I get bored.
It might help though!

someone very annoying

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 9:38, Reply)

You should look into getting married mid week
venues are about 20-30% cheaper.
(PsychoChomp, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 9:37, Reply)

our venue is actually pretty reasonable
as we are having the whole thing at the same place and stuff.

that is the one of the reasons why Mrs V's sister is getting married on a Thursday. Also they are only having about 40 guests, so their chosen venue wouldn't actually let them do it at the weekend, because they could make more money from a bigger wedding.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 9:38, Reply)

And nobody can go
Our venue is terribly cheap, and even more for what it is. I'm very excited about doing it there!

it's having to use a day or two of leave that really annoys me
as I'm probably going to have to buy some more leave next year anyway for honeymoon and stuff.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 9:49, Reply)

I know
I'm trying to save as many holidays as possible, and working a stupid number of hours to accumulate for the honeymoon. I'm tired.
