    We went out last night to our venue, we had the most perfect meal compliments of the hotel, really lovely wine (i dont know much about wine but it was really easy to drink ooopsie - my head this morning!) then had a few more drinks in the bar....we liked it so much, cancelled the cab and booked a room :)

    We have now decided on the meal for our wedding breakfast...loved it and the presentation of it ...everything was spot on! Im getting really really excited now! xxx

    We have been to 2 wedding fairs today one was at our venue and my amazing h2b has booked me a Bentley to take me to the wedding so I can stay at home the night before like I really wanted to do but was only going to stay at hotel to save money bless him love him so much

    And to top it off got a really good deal (I think it is anyway) An amazing silver Bentley 2 trips from mine to venue then a drive round for me and hubby after ceremony for £280!!

    Didnt go to any wedding fayres this weekend but heard that St Augustines & Bluewater wasnt all that great. My Dad did put down deposit for caterers and weve also saved £120 for dj as the reception venue is a pub and they already have DJ on friday nights.

    We've got similar things to sort out, bits and bobs like hair accessories and finish getting gifts for the best man, ushers etc... I'm starting to worry that there's some huge list of things that we've forgotten to think of but am sure we've covered pretty much everything. I think over the weekend will have a look at the list and see what else is left to do but am pretty sure we are on top of it all. Even got all the money in place ready for payments so dont know what I'm worrying about, just got a lil doubt in my head lol...xx

    Oh my, I'd better get cracking I think, I've moved my date forward to Aug 15th and have got absolutely nothing sorted except my dress! I know exactly what I want and when I want it etc, but the vicar hasnt 100% confirmed yet as he needs to find holiday cover!

    I'm a student so me and a lot of my friends are all off for the summer. MIL2B is semi retired and none of my family work really. I need to take every bit of discount I can get so I just thought why not! It couldve been any weekday Mon to Thurs really, so I just decided with the old rhyme.. "Monday for health, Tuesday for wealth, Wednesday the best day of all" :)

    good luck getting your rings. Its just annoying as I hate being without my ring and I have been without it a week and they havent touched it yet because I have to go and see them but work mon -fri in school. Gonna go early afternoon tomo so I still get a mini lie in and winge and moan but I doubt I will get anywhere. They will probably still charge me.

    they want a cheque for 50% of the remainder in May but I want to pay a bit extra early. JUst deciding how much extra. They wont let us pay off the whole thing due to not having confirmed guest numbers etc but theres over 4K left so I figured I may pay off 1500 now, in april pay the 1k flowers and the remainder of the rings. I dont know. Then in May 3k goes to thompsons eek to pay off the rest of the honeymoon and then the entertainment money is due. Its scary. We had to go through the contracts last night to see who wants what and by when. Theres only one thing we can wait until the week before to pay. Very scary good job we saved up early or we would be pooing it now.
