Discussions I've Participated In

We have chosen a restaurant as our venue for both ceremony and reception. We are on a tight budget, and have limited our guest list as much as possible. We are having a non-traditional, intimate...

I can't make my mind up what sie dress to order. I get married in 5 months. One of the dresses would mean losing 4 inches from the waist. Do you think this is doable? I'm larger so I've got quite a...

Hi all, I am trying to decide whether to just change my name to my hsuband's surname or whether to keep my maiden name and double barrel it. Have any of you found any pros and cons to either of these...

Help! I have no idea what to get my H2B as a gift for our wedding day. Does anyone have ideas? Or what have you got/planning to get yours? TIA

Hi all - so we've ticked off a lot of our big jobs but one of the last remaining 'big' things is our wedding bands. OH is not too fussy and wants a simple platinum band, but I am after a half band of...

Hi, I posted on here a bit when I first got engaged, but then I had some of the bigger things booked and realised I wasn't getting as much joy form wedding planning and this forum as I was hoping......

After opinions please We obviously don't expect anyone to give us anything as a wedding gift, especially as a lot of guests are travelling from Essex to Fife for the wedding. However, we are now...

Hi everyone, Im starting slimming world on Monday and a exercise program i've found on youtube. it seems easy enough. My problem is I slip and then think ahhh well might as well eat the Chinese or...

I know this is probably going to offend some people - but i am interested to hear others opinions on the matter, therefore I'm going to run the risk, along with a disclaimer that I'm not trying to...

I made the decision to stop being such a heffer and joined SW with my mum on Saturday. She's been going for a while and I've finally been brave and faced the scales. I've made so many half hearted...

Hi. Just wondering if anyone on here is planning a Sun holiday? Vouchers start tomorrow. I've only been on one before, thinking about going this this year for a cheap holiday to help with saving money...

Right, New Year, new start and all that, but the way things are going this healthy eating malarkey is going to totally backfire on me and I'll end up gaining weight! Since everyone always bangs on...

Happy New Year ladies! I was just wondering whether anyone has had any experience (personal or know somebody) who has tried Lighter Life or Lighter Life Fast (the 5:2 diet)? Thanks.

Hi all. I recently booked wedding venue and registrar for my bonfire night 2016 wedding. The package can include a photographer (Martin weaver) but not many pics on his site so thinking about not...

This is me and my fiance's dilemma right now! He's keen to get married abroad, but I think it would be more realistic to get married in the UK? Sway us??

First of all, please let me just say there is no judgement in here, just curiosity (I get this misinterpreted a LOT and I know emotions can run high on this forum!) I just got an e-mail from one of my...

Sorry, this probably doesn't interest anyone but I'm excited! Got engaged in May and have only just today booked my wedding venue! I found it really tough as I really couldn't afford more than £6000...

I've noticed 2016 wedding threads becoming more frequent recently, so I thought I'd get the list started for 2016 brides! The 2015 thread was only a couple of months later in the timeframe than this...

Hi all Going shopping for wedding rings this weekend in Birmingham and wondered if all you had any particular shops you would recommend? Also looking at getting some sapphire jewellery for the day....

This morning I had my eye test. I just ordered my first pair of varifocals and I feel like I turned the corner into serious middle age.

I knew venue shopping wouldn't be straight forward. Me and my partner looked at over 30houses before we found the one for us. I have a feeling of déjà vu and so does the family. We know what we want...

Considering having a bonfire night wedding in 2016, I found a venue that I like and allows fireworks (and is cheaper in November!), brill, got them to reserve my date for free for 2 weeks. They have a...

Anything at all? Good or bad? I am considering using a venue that has a package that includes this photographer and wondered if anyone knew if they were any good! I would prefer to pick out my...
