Ok so we all know that the bride makes her grand entrance and swishes down the aisle towards her waiting groom, to gasps of "ooh" and "aah" and "doesn't she look wonderful" from assembled guests, accompanied by an appropriate piece of music. However,...

A question to those of you that have been married before. Just booked an appointment for a couple of weeks time to do the paperwork in my district (my b2b has to book one in hers, we've already booked the date and registrars in the area we're getting...

We were in our local "99p shop" earlier looking for a few bargains (non wedding related) and noticed that they had some bags of the "glass pebbles" the people often use in flower displays on tables, and though I'd mention it in case anyone was...

Haven't seen this advertised here so I thought I'd share Hope it's of use to someone. They do have an offer on (which we've taken advantage of) for 2011 weddings booked before the end of the year. Autumn Wedding Exhibition Sunday October 17th at...

The photographer we have chosen is at a conveniently accessible wedding fair next weekend - found that on his site - but I can't find anywhere a list of what other exhibitors are going to be there. It seems that, predominantly, the focus of this...

One thing I've noticed is that in all the 'flash' threads, all the comments seem to be overwelmingly positive - "stunning", "beautiful", "you look gorgeous" etc. I can't believe that everyone finds everything wonderful all the time, so if you thought...

I've just had a direct email about custom made wedding dresses from China come through to the email address I registered with hitched at. I can only think that somehow someone has sent it through here to my email direct as I can't figure out how...

It seems that 'wedding insurance' is considered a 'must have' by so many people these days but I'm somewhat confused by it all. Looking at the one that advertises on the site here, it's talking about "public liability insurance" included - shouldn't...

Just a quick question, what time was/is your wedding service, and what are you doing afterwards? We're looking at 1pm service (approx 1 hour) followed by photos (photographer wants an hour and a half), then wedding breakfast for selected guests,...

After an outrageously complicated day of planning and phone calls, we now have confirmations. Thought some of you might be interested in them. The venue - Beaulieu Hotel, New Forest - https://www.newforesthotels.co.uk/Beaulieu_Weddings.asp This was...

Easy question We've found a wedding fair on about 15 miles from where we're going to be tomorrow. Now I realise that these sort of things do tend to be very 'bride-centric' - probably accompanied by her mother and the chief bridesmaid - but if the...

I don't know if I'm odd, but I want to be involved in every aspect of our wedding, after all, it's our big day, not just my bride-to-be. Now, I know I'm not supposed to know what dress she picks, and I'm fine with that, but I'm keen to be involved...

So it's amazing really how much the costs mount up. What are you spending on your 'big day' and how? We're looking at a licensed venue in the New Forest, and hope to do it for about £8000 altogether - although I hear of many couples spending over...

Hi all, first post, with a question for you. We're coordinating ties for groom, best man, ushes and father of bride and groom - but should we also consider getting one for a stepdad too? We don't necessarily want him to feel left out, and price of an...
