Hi,
I'm new, said hello here the other day 
OH and I have been engaged 3.5 years. We did plan the big white wedding here a few years back, provisionally booked it and then moved down south so stopped the whole thing while we figured out where we were going to base our life! Then we wanted to go abroad with family, but OHs side don't have too much spare cash, so we knew his aunts, cousins etc wouldn't be able to come, fine. Then OH decides that if his extended family couldn't afford it, we couldn't even invite my side because it wouldn't be fair. Well I had my opinions on that... Why should my family miss out on our day and why should I have to explain to people that we wouldn't be invited because of life choices his family had made. Sounds harsh, but I didn't find that fair, so we scrapped that idea and went back to the drawing board. Then we moved back to Birmingham and are currently staying with my nan because we want a mortgage!!
Anyway, we were on holiday at the beginning of May and started talking about the wedding again. We booked a holiday to Jamaica with my brother, sister and their partners for September, so OH suggested we get married there. Now at this point, I'd happily go to the registry office in jeans and t-shirt to just 'get it done' as we say, but I'm also happy to do it in Jamaica, so that's what we're doing! We've only told parents (OH isn't speaking to FSIL, but his Dad has told him if he doesn't tell her about the wedding then he will - but that's a whole other story!! In laws!!!!!!)
We filled in booking form, paid deposit and sent our legal docs off 3 weeks ago and Thomson we're going to send the booking form to the weddings team. After three weeks, I called the weddings team today as I hadn't heard from them and get this... They never received the booking form from Thomson. Now with 13 weeks until we depart I am panicking and angry that people can be so incompetent!! How do they not question why they have legal docs and no booking form!! After waiting on hold forever this afternoon, they have assured me they are sending it tonight. Now I have to wait until the morning to check it has actually been received and woe betide them if it hasn't!
Sorry for the rambling, I've done the bit about us and the rant all at the same time
