Our wedding is in my FIL's home. So it would feel odd and be wrong to then have a bar (cash) which means an open one (bloddy hell) Even though FILs are paying there is no way we would have a 'bar' set...

Our florist is decorating our cake for us and so we'll be going for a plain wedding cake from a supermarket. I've heard marks and spencer do a good one. Any body had experience of this type of thing?...
