Just watching the one with the Slovakian girl and the same-sex wedding. Warwick Castle looked gorgeous, as always, but WTF makes people go on these programmes? Surely they know in advance what it's...

Mum and I have spent the last couple of days shopping for my wedding dress, and I am now completely confused about what I want. I always thought I wanted a relatively traditional lace wedding dress,...

Hi Everyone. Has anyone here done pre-marriage counselling and would you recommend it. My Mr and I are doing our pre-wedding pre course with the catholic church but its not the same as one on one...

Hello everyone I'm knew to this sight. It's a bit early to be buying our wedding bands but there's a sale coming up with 20% off so we said why not. I've found 2 that I've fallen in love with and...

Anyone else part of an international couple? I'm Dutch, OH is English with Welsh family and we're getting married in England (although possibly we'll do the legal bit in Holland). Obviously the...

I just wanted to know what the general consensus is. We're going for three different flavours of sponge because we both hate fruit cake, but my OHs parents want to add a small traditional layer! (My...

Almost a year of planning... and I think I've finally found a book that would have really helped from the start. Law Pack - Wedding Planning http://www.lawpack.co.uk/cohabitation/product839.asp I...

Hello, I am new here but I am quite stuck. I usually work a 6 day week and I have managed to take a Saturday off to go try on Wedding dresses but a lot of shops in London charge for weekend...

Home bargains have these for sale at £6.98. They had dressing gowns as well but sold out really quickly. I suspect they will get more. Just posting in case anyone is looking for this type of thing. ...

So I'm just starting to plan our wedding, going to see the proposed venue on Thursday, I happened to be talking to my 3 yr old daughter about it all, and was telling her about wearing a pretty dress...

Hi All! I am the groom to the wedding and I will be totally honest I am a total wreck about making a speech, I suffer with social anxiety. My wedding is over 12 months away and I already cant sleep...

Hi all, I was just wondering whether any of you thought I was mad, or whether this is a good idea? I have four bridesmaids who are all different shapes and sizes. Due to the budget, they've agreed to...

So on the 9th of June we have our last meeting with the vicar, the next time will be the rehearsal 5 days before the wedding. We haven't organised much about the ceremony yet, do we need to have...

I can't find anywhere decent to hire them so I've been buying a few but trying to get one's that aren't too expensive and people will actually want to use. Those of you who are are having them what...

OK so as it stands this is the order of entry for the females of the bridal party. We have a ‘rehearsal’ (family get together) 2 weeks before so everyone knows their place and when. All outfits...

Has anyone done (or thinking of doing) a boudoir photoshoot? I'd like to do one for a gift for my H2B but the prices seem extortionate if you want more than one or two images. Help!!

Hello! I need peoples opinions/ thoughts please, as I'm starting to do my own head in thinking about this.. I'm probably over thinking it!! Both myself and OH's parents are divorced and...

Hi, Sorry I if this makes me sound really silly! I have searched on here and on the Internet and still feel slightly confused! My h2b and I are getting married in a maor house in June 2016. I am so...

I think I need a bit of advice, and then maybe a little rant. First the advice. Does anyone know if it is tradition or expected or anything for the Bride to sort out the MOG hair and makeup as well as...

I was originally planning on doing favours for all guests, now just got a text from FMIL saying only female guests get wedding favours. Is this what's traditionally done? Is it still done or do most...

Hi all, I'm really struggling to find some non-religious readings for our ceremony that my H2B and I both like. We're not really into cheesy poetry or anything like that, and every website I've been...

I know that all are not the same price, I was hoping for an average. I get married in under 4 weeks and I just realised I feel I will really regret it if we don't have it filmed. Have also thought of...

I am having nightmares over my dress alterations. Has anyone ever had a gown with an elaborate beaded hem and graduated beading from the waist altered. My gown does not have a seamed waist so I have...

This seems to be a new thing but has anyone had a cheese tower instead of a wedding cake? If so how did it go with guests? Me and my fiancé love the idea as we are more savoury than sweet and love...
