Hi, does anyone have any recommendations for a decent party band (playing pop/rock/soul/generic party stuff) who would play in Newcastle around £**** ish? Thanks!

I'm freaking out a little and would really appreciate some advice. At the weekend my fiancé and I talked about bringing the wedding forward, from August 2016 to early next year. This is mainly because...

I have fallen in love with a dress that is over budget at £1257 rrp. It is harmony by enzoani from the spring 2013 collection. I have already called round all stockists of the dress local to me and a...

There is a bridal studio near where I live but I've never been due to the fact our wedding is still 2 years away. Walked past today and OMG I love this dress!...

The more I look at dresses the more I want a different colour other than the standard ivory/white. Problem is I'm not really sure where to start. I really like this:...

I am going to be bridesmaid for my FSIL and I was just wondering apart from the usual helping out on the day, walking down the aisle etc is there anything else I am expected to do? Do I buy her a...

We are attending a family wedding on Saturday, the reception is based in big 'yurt' style tents (with a decent reputable company) and it is forecast heavy rain and thunderstorms! The bride and groom...

I'm a teacher in a secondary school and have a Humanist contact who sometimes comes into school to talk about Humanism with my students. She was in today and the more I see her and hear about the way...

We have loads of time to sort this (see ticker) but I'm a worrier and really unsure of how to time our day. Our civil ceremony and reception are at the same venue so travelling between is not an...

How many of you are seeing your groom before you get to the end of the aisle at the ceremony? I'd love to know what your plans are, especially if you're not one for tradition like us. We are almost...

My best friend rang me today to say she and her boyfriend are engaged :-) I'm so happy!!! I am going to send them a card asap but was thinking of giving them some light hearted non patronising tips...

Hi, I wonder if anyone has come across a wedding insurance policy that covers existing illnesses of close relatives, as the ones I've looked into so far e.g. John Lewis only cover illness if it starts...

There's a woman at work who keeps asking me if I've decided on colours and has used the term 'palette.' I'm not very artistic and not sure where to start on choosing wedding colours- any tips? How did...

Utterly pointless post, sorry, just rather excited to have set a date...

I have emailed a wedding dress shop and they offered me an appointment but since then have asked when I am getting married. When I said summer 2016 they replied with (word for word minus their...

My mum is wheelchair bound and as such we have to ensure our wedding day is fully wheelchair friendly. I have to say it is depressing how many businesses in the wedding industry just haven't thought...

My MOH called me yesterday and has suggested we start bridal/BM dress shopping. I thought it would be too soon (not even booked yet but will probs be marrying August 2016) but as I hardly ever get to...

My fiance and I are at the stage where we are ready to book our venue. We've talked about numbers and the guest list and have narrowed down dates to August 2016, however we are still unsure whether to...

So... my Dad remarried when I was at uni to a woman who I mostly get on fine with but at times she can be a bit prickly about some things and I doubt she is going to be OK with the fact that I am...

No replies needed I just wanted to share my excitement as we are finally going to see some venues! The Hancock Museum (aka the Great North Museum)- some of you may remember me getting a bit ranty...

Hi everyone, I hope you can help me and my fiance pick a wedding date in 2016. The main problems we have with choosing are to do with my job and where we want to go on honeymoon. I am a teacher and...

OK so a couple of weeks after we got engaged I emailed a venue, just something really unpushy like 'just got engaged,..came across your venue...are you planning any open days in 2014?' After over a...

Apologies in advance that this is a bit of a depressing and ranty post, but I was just wondering if anyone was going through the same and if you had any advice. We got engaged in October and although...

Has anyone else found it difficult finding a Christmas card with 'fiance' on? I normally pick up cards in supermarkets due to convenience but I have been to 3 different ones and they all seem to...

As I am recently engaged I thought I would spend some time browsing dresses online and could literally spend hours doing this. To narrow it down as well as making sure I am only looking at dresses I...

I have ordered a bespoke engagement ring with a very local jeweller, so far he has been amazing and even offered to resize the ring my fiance proposed with for free. Trouble is I just got the resized...
