Oh Reggie your such a romantic, no wonder your marriage is blessed.

My cousin had a posh wedding about 13 yrs back. Toastmaster was flown in from Australia. Food was cr*p! But the best laugh was from the 'Best Man'. He was reading the telegrammes, when he said 'Oh there's a telegramme here from the hotel you are staying at tonight...pause.... they send they're sincere apologies but the honeymoon suite is over booked, so will your normal room be ok!' Her family just went white, us lot nearly wet ourselves laughing! They split 1 year later. Mine? got drunk one night, got married 8 weeks later, full white job, cost £400, had son 13 years later and it's our 25th anni next month!! Kim

weddings! now ya talking about my subject! I've had three...and counting lol..... I had the white 'DO' loved all the arranging and planning.... On the day....it went so fast I think i missed it! Ten years and three kids later I thought, maybe I shoulda dun! lol Second one..... A quick licence without telling anyone and trip down the reg office with kids in tow (son insistead in wearing his wellies) That one died just before three years (so! we dont count that one) lol 3rd attempt!... 8 years later and in debt up to me eye balls! It was time to move on yet again.....His motto was, to die in debt! and have nothing for his kids to argue over. NEXT!!!!!!!! .......lol Always the bride....never the bridesmaid me... I love a good divorce! Mr 3 took me to Turkey for a week to celibrate our divorce...we had a great! time! lol...still good friends with all of em.

Still looking I just loved the way you put that!! LOL Kim it just goes to show doesnt it. Money can't buy you happiness.....Well Done to you & your hubby :-)

Got married in 1976. Did everything right (according to Mum !!) stressed out over everything !! who was sitting where etc., who to/not to invite/ who was paying for what etc. Widdowed in 1988. Decided to remarry in 1992. Who to invite/ who not to inviite. Who are you going to ask to 'stand for you?', 'Better be the right person' 'Who's paying for the cake?' 'Who's giving you away?' Should have been easier second time around!!! Still a good day !! (even if OH dod bang 18 month old nefhew's head against the top of the bar !!!). Libby xx '

I could have had the big posh one but my Dad took me aside.... 'Big wedding or a smaller one with the cash difference paid to you?' We chose the smaller 'do' and then decorated, carpeted and furnished our first home from top to bottom with the difference!!!! The smaller 'do' was still big compared to others. Registry Office and 120 for a sit down meal. I didn't have a 'big' dress..It was a suit from Allders in Croydon that I then used for work (without the Princess Di hat) for a good few years after :) I am now planning my second wedding (ex long gone) and looking back at my photos what worries me is that I can't remember the guests at my first.........It was supposedly small with only close family and friends....I really don't remember at least 50% of the faces, ex mother in law took over :( This time I will know 100% 'cause they will all be my choice.............OH insists :))))) Chris

The way it should be Chris.....I would want to know whose there and whom truly want to be part of our happy day...like i said before we could invite over a hundred guests to our wedding but what would be the point of inviting someone you hardly see, who hardly knows what your about, all for the sake of because 'their family' or friends of their family even!!

Tara You are so right! It was even worse for the OH's first wedding (which explains his understanding). Bride's father used it as a social event. No joke, they had over three hundred people on the day. Most of them the Bride's fathers golf club and business contacts and wives!!!!!!!. OH says it was the day from hell...Welcoming people to his wedding that he had no idea as to who they were :( Hense why he is happy for me to issue the invites this time....He knows we will only have our REAL friends and family in attendance :) Chris
