H2bs mum and dad have just been talking to him and have said they want to pay for the marquee and food it's going to help us out so much. My mum and dad haven't said a thing about paying for anything and just don't seem interested what so ever :-(

That's great news, it's always great when you find out people want to help!
About your parents not seeming interested, I'm sure they are, I didn't think mine were then when we booked they offered to pay a few things and now they are starting to get excited. I'm sure when you get closer to the wedding they will seem more interested. Just keep telling them about things and I'm sure they will come around :)x

Great news about the in-law's!
I can relate on the no interest... It wasn't until under a year to go that they started to think about it and now it's the new year they are talking about it a lot and I never thought they'd be ok but they were so give them time and once it gets closer, they will :) x

Great news about the in laws. I'm sure your parents will start getting more interested nearer the time. Maybe they think it's a bit too far away to be getting excited yet. I know that can be frustrating but try not to worry x

I'm sure they will start getting more interested and involved the nearer it gets :) I was lucky with mine, both our parents were really excited as soon as we booked it, offering help straight away etc.! They will come round.. who can't be excited about their children getting married?! :)
Have you taken them to your venue? xx

My parents seem to be a lot more interested than my future in laws too. We've taken them to the venue and they liked but nothing else was said. Maybe like you say it will be better nearer the time. x

No they've not been yet Flossie but I've said to h2b we should. In laws have said they now want to pay for the drinks, food, marquee and flowers. I didn't know what to say when I saw them earlier. I was lost for words put it that way lol x

Ahh that's sooo nice of them, you lucky things :) definitely helps having financial support.. we wouldn't be able to get married as soon as we are without a bit of help!!
Yeah I would definitely recommend taking them to see your venue. We took all of our parents (all 4 sets of them as they're both divorced, with 3 of them re-married!!) and it was lovely, was great to spend the time together as we wouldn't normally being quite a complicated family.. it might make it seem more real for them if they're able to see it? xx

I can guarantee that by this time next year at the latest, they will start to pay interest and want to know what's going on. Weird thing with all parents I think as they don't get excited until it's nearer the time! x

I think mine were more excited than me! My mum started looking at Mother of the Bride dresses straight away and my dad was buzzing to arrange our photographer for us! He kept researching our venue and coming out with random little facts about it, like celebrities who have stayed there and stuff haha xx

Mrs Wade, are they typically peach or could I get away with pulling a pastel 'baby pink' kind of colour off?!?! I could buy this colour and the green one, and I've found baby blue and lilac ones on the bay... x

Thanks all. They are peach Flossie. Yes they are that company Catherine. Ordered them last Friday and came today my sister (MOH) is trying hers on tomorrow and my other sisters are trying them on at the weekend as I've got 14 days to change them if need be. The size 10 fits me as I had to try it lol so should fit them too x

Just had another quote back from a car company that is £40 cheaper than the other car were going to look at. (The white one in the pic) so I've just emailed the lady with the white to ask if she can match the price if we booked when we come to see car... I know it's not a huge amount of money but it's £40 that can be spent on something else x

CommentAuthorFlossie
If you made savings like that on a few things then it would eventually all add up to a nice saving in total! Definitely worth seeing if she can match it xx

She has emailed back to ask what the other company are offering and that they have a 45 min drive before they get to us so I can see her point of not being able to do the same. Their communication is brill and we know we will be well looked after if we booked so hopefully when we go and see it on the 1st march we will love it :) x

We didn't realise one of our friends works in a florist so she is going to get a price on our wedding flowers on Wednesday when she is back in work. We can then decide who we are going to go with
