Im looing for oppinions on what i should do - particularly from people already married.
I had a quote all the way back in june from a car company, quoting me an excelent price for multiple trips to the ceremony. (i dont need travel to reception as its opposite the register office!)
I for one reason and another never got round to booking it, but last week at a wedding fayre met the owners and saw the car which is beautiful. I mentioned to them that i had a quote which was less than they were quoting upon talking to them.
We were all chatting about the things they offer in their package, one of the things being to take the couple off fro a while after the ceremony with a bottle of champers to either have photos taken at bristol suspension bridge, or just for a drive to be together in piece for a bit.
MIL was with me and agreeing with the owner that this was incredibly important otherwise the day will melt into 1 and we will hardly see eachother or divide the parts up in our head after plus, it means mr chicken will be able to have a ride in a p[osh car too. Now i hadnt even thought of this and like the idea.
However. I emailed them attaching my origanal quote - which still stands but not if we want to go off on our own for that little while with the champagne.
Its £100 more if we do this.
Now, my dilema is do i spend the extra hundred so we can do this, so mr chicken can ride in a car, or do i stick to budget which origanal quote is for? Im worried that MIL will insist on paying the extra so we get the extra, but we dont want her to pay for anything else at all! And as soon as its mentioned she will offer, and then we feel bad, then if i dont say anything she might be narky....oh i dont know.
Its not a massive dilema i know, and it is only £100 but whn you are on strict budget, and have gone over on bridesmaids dresses etc............
So, what do you think? Should i have the whole hog, or just what i origanally wanted - just the trip there. What are you all having? And for those of you already married did you have time alone together? If you didnt did it spoil the day or make it harder to remeber?
