A very productive weekend!

Now that's it's officially less than a year until our wedding, we thought we'd better get on with starting to book things!

So this weekend we went to a wedding fair and got some great deals and saved quite a bit on what we'd budgeted for so I would like to share as I'm feeling very pleased about things!

We got our DJ booked and he's only charging us £160 for the reception, we were really impressed (we'd budged about £350).

The suit hire firm had an offer where if we put down the deposit we got OH's suit free and 10% off the others so we're paying £380 for 5 adult suits and a page boy (we'd budgeted £500).

Then we think we've found a tog, he's provisionally booked the date for us and is bringing all his stuff round when he gets back from his hols!

And we've booked the car which I fell in love with - it's gorgeous.

So we are feeling mega happy now that we've got the bigger things (DJ, tog and car - things that might get booked up with it now being less than a year) pretty much sorted.

Hope that doesn't sound smug, I'm just excited and it's nice to share as I'm driving my family mad ?.

    Sorry to sound really silly, but what is a tog?! Never heard of it before, and am new to these forums!!

    We've been busy looking in to things too - have been quoted £330 for flowers, booked venues, sorted out vicar problems, got photographers, booked cars, bought bridesmaid dresses and hope to get my dress sorted in the next month or so!

    It's such an exciting time!!
