I think it's a really good idea Lana. Would make the ceremony a bit more fun and interactive as well :) you could include the words in an order of service if you're having one/wanted to

Yeah was thinking of that April, said about it to my mum today and she was like "really?" then i showed her the vid of david tennant and all of the who cast and crew doing it. and was like see. it think it would be ultra fun. definatly make it more rememberable for guests and will get everyone out there seats marching along and the kids will find it fun.

Ordered my flowers, you may all be surprised to hear I didn't go for the sunflowers. Lots of people involved seemed against them so decided to go with the other ones. Just happy to have one more thing ticked off the list, also been a little naughty and paying them off a little bit at a time, which means I can pay them using our current account which means I feel like we have more money in the wedding fund ;) as long as the current account doesn't get too empty lol
CommentAuthorAprilS61
i though you were set on them ha! I know what you mean though, I might LOVE something but if other people included in the wedding don't fancy it or aren't so sure it changes my mind. Do you have a picture of the ones you went for? We do that too with the accounts lol!
Back on with a cake search! The woman making ours doesn't think she can do the silhouettes, but I don't mind as I can't seem to settle for a cake - only thing I keep changing my mind on.
We we're back on with honeymoon searching and narrowed in down to Samana in Dominican Republic or Cape Verde. Adam fancies CV now but I'm still not sure. I would probably just go down to whats cheapest as I like them both.

I would have loved to have traveled further a field but the H2B doesn't like to fly so im lucky were going an a 4 hour flight. to be honest id have been happy with any where as long as it was a break from the norm

I did try and ring to book in fora trial of the wedding breakfast options but the hotel manager wasn't in, don't see why I had to speak to him mind so gotta ring back tomorrow :/

April were are you thinking about going on honeymoon? We don't have a budget just now for honeymoon but would love to go to St Lucia (I can dream) thinking maybe going to Paris or Rome for a few days and leave Connor with my parents and go to Florida in May all three of us.
My parents are taking Connor on holiday for a week next year at the end of July, I'm dreading it but will be good for him and it's about 3 weeks before the wedding so he can chill and we can stress with all the final details we need to do, but I know need to renew his passport as it expires next year.

We're between Dominican republic and cape verde. Adam likes cape verde best, I just want cheapest as I like bits of one and bits of the other.
That will be good for him. Will probably be a bit easier as well as you won't need to take him to finalise things or meetings before the wedding without him being bored lol. I would love St. Lucia as well! I was looking at Bora Bora the other day as well and OH was being silly and looking at top of the range, and the most expensive was £45,000 for2 weeks in the little huts that have pool and trampoline in their little cabin hut thing! 45 THOUSAND! Nearly cried haha!

Ours is about the same with a little bit of spending money, not that we would need that much.

we would need some spending money too, that on average is how much it cost for the hotel and flights, not including anything else, and i now Oh will want to go on trips, prob get a car and cruise the island, or get ferry to mainland for a bit (he loves greek history) while I would be happy sat buy the pool or getting a massage.

We're just planning on doing nothing and goi g on the odd trip but it depends which place we choose as cape verde is basically all there is there and barely anything else to do. Dominican has more things to do and places to go so it depends what's chosen really. I wouldn't mind a nice little spa day mind.

If and its a very big if we go on honeymoon it will be about £4k including spends to St lucia for 10 days All inclusive BUT we are in the mind frame of going to Paris or Rome for 5ish days and Florida the following May as we ALL love Florida and we can use any cash we get as gifts towards it and might even stay at Disney (Shall see what happens as we have no budget for honeymoon but I can dream)
April both places are gorgeous )Never been just from what ive seen on internet) Do you know what you are doing for your Hen do?
We were on a very relaxed holiday in May we spent most days at the beach or pool Connor loved and as did we felt like we had a holiday. Would love a chilled honeymoon.
I'm excited today for nothing wedding related was at Softplay and they had tickets available for their Halloween party so we booked them. Then we noticed that the Christmas santa visit that we went on last year had a buy the kids ticket get the adults free so we booked that too and I LOVE CHRISTMAS and I love a bargain and being organised so I am so excited woohoo

well back from my mums, been there 2 weeks. Showed her the kilt colours, the dress I would love, told her most of the details and she actually seems more excited than I thought she was. She has said that she will pay for our flowers so I have left her to get them from my brother, with instructions how to store them. She has also said that after Christmas she will help more financially, we have said to her that we are very grateful for her offer, but we would like to decline as we want to be able to do it all ourself, she was ok with this. DJ has been paid the deposit now so that's another thing ticked off of the list xxx
CommentAuthorAprilS61
We'd love st Lucia but OH is insistent on 2 weeks and it's too expensive. I won't know anything about the hen, it's all going to e a surprise :)
I love Christmas too, will be a bit different this year though without my nieces :/

We finalise our menu then go for a food tasting sounds back wards to me. I love chicken wrapped on bacon mmm. Also love melon yummy, just cut up watermelon for Connors lunch tomorrow x

Elizabeth you should go when you feel ready to, im sure its never too early, they are providing you a service that your paying for. I have questions in relation to seating, our theme and outside services, a double check on what services they provide etc, it was January when we booked so we need our memory jogging haha. I've emailed the coordinator so just waiting for a reply as to when is convenient.

I feel so excited now that I finally had something wedding related to do I am going to HATE being back to having nothing to do again! We put the deposit down on our suits this weekend which we did over Facetime (which sounds a bit crazy!) - I knew what I wanted as I found them online but I had to send my mum, sister and her boyfriend down there to make sure the quality was good and they were literally AMAZING! Loved them so much they were even better than we thought so at least thats a little worry off my mind! My sister's bf is a bit of an expert when it comes to suits so i am not worried at all even though I am sure people might think I am mad! My sister and especially my mum have been an absolute godsend - makes me feel so much more homesick when I think about it!
Then I saw a wedding video of someone who got married at our venue online so that made me a bit emotional and they have had some amazing reviews lately (they are a new venue so when we booked nobody had ever been married there the woman who owns it was the first!) - i hate wishing my life away but I just want it to be next year so that the wedding is sooner does anyone else feel like that?
Elizabeth I think if theres nothing you really need to ask or that you are worried about I would leave it for now. I am making a little list of bits and pieces I want to ask the venue when I think of them so that when we are back in January I can ask them all at once...otherwise i would be making a pest of myself every other day! We have got on the list things like confirming timings, confirming that we will get a late license for the bar, asking about when we can set up the venue, cake delivery etc
CommentAuthorGemmaR81
Elizabeth the meeting went really well. We are now getting married at 1.30pm on Friday 16th October 2015. I am so excited now that it has been totally confirmed. Our son will have a dedication ceremony as well, kind of like a christening. She said that we can have another meeting in January/February to discuss the order of service. There is also a big screen in the church that OH wants to use to put pictures up of how we met etc, which will save him having them up in the reception. Will give the guests something to see when we sign the register. So obviously when I got home I ordered our stationary. I had budgeted about £150 for Save the dates, day invites, evening invites, rsvps and order of service. As we cant order the order of service just yet I ordered the rest. It came to £55.47 for everything, they will be delivered on Monday. So EXCITED xxx Oh and the DJ deposit has been paid too xxx
