Hi, I am having various speeches at my wedding but not sure who should go when! I can only find etiquette on the standard FOB, Groom, Best Man line up! How best would it work? I have my mother, my...

Hi! My partner and I have decided not to have a professional photographer. The quotes we were getting were simply astronomical, the ones which weren't left a lot to be desired! We really don't like...

Hi all, I am struggling choosing some wedding shoes and need a bit of inspiration, I thought it would be nice if everyone could share theirs too! So lets see those lovely shoes! xx

So it's less than 2 weeks until our big day! Eek. It's such a rubbish day today that it has given me that extra boot up the bum to decide on if I should get something to wear over my dress incase the...

I have no idea what to say for this part. The registrar has requested a snapshot of 'our story'. We have been together for 13 years and have 3 children. I don't want her to go into detail about the...

So my future hubby and I are in a bit of a pickle. His best friend is going to be our best man, and his wife will be our photogtrapher. They have a 1 year old daughter, however, with their...

Hello! I got engaged last month so we're currently looking at dates/venues.

I am after comfy shoes that will be able to stay on my feet all day & night without the need to take them off. Has anyone found a good make that really works? I've tried a pair of Rainbow Club...

Hi all, We are in the middle of deciding where to have the ceremony for our wedding. Although we like the idea of a ceremony at our church, it is not te prettiest of buildings, and is 30-40 minutes...

Hey! So we are getting married at a beautiful castle and then have a meal organised for guests. It's a small wedding. 24 people in total including us and our children. We decided not to have evening...

So let's share some of the ridiculous things family members have said about our weddings just to get it off our chests (some of it is hurtful some just down right annoying). It's not the day I wanted...

Thought this would be easy but I'm finding it hard to find a reading for my friend to say at our church service. At the moment they all seem to be in the first person like 'I love you when...' etc...

I have only just started with the planning for my wedding and already seem to be at a loss with all the things that have to be decided. I don't want to spend a stupid amount of money on a single day...

Is anyone wearing flat shoes? I need some suggestions. People keep telling me that I must wear heels but I rarely wear heels and our wedding ceremony is at a castle with around 300 steps to go up and...

We got married on the 24th June and it was utterly amazing. Everything went perfectly, and all the things I'd worried about going wrong didn't!! We had loads of people saying it was the best wedding...

Hi! Just got engaged last week and looking at venues is frying my brain. I am talking to my friends and they have spent £16/£20k to get married which we can no way afford. We are only planning a small...

Both my fiance and I are previously divorced and eagerly looking forward to getting married again. However, we have come to blows over the venue. The sticking point is that he desperately wants a...

I live on a small island so there's very little shopping options here and postage from mainland UK can get a bit crazy. We will be in Aberdeenshire in July and I'm wondering if anyone can give me some...

Hi all, Finally writing a post after months of lurking, reading through everyone elses threads! I’m getting married in a month and extremely excited. This forum has helped me loads with questions I’ve...

So to cut a long story short, we've provisionally booked our wedding for 17th August next year. However a lot of family are giving input and saying it's a bad time weather-wise, as it's likely to rain...

Just wondering if we should be providing a meal for the photographer and the wedding planner who will be with us on the day to make sure everything runs smoothly? I would think yes but I don't...

Hello ladies, This question might be strange, I hope not. My fiancé is Scottish and he tells me there it's not customary for family or guests to give money gifts at weddings. In Spain, weddings cost...

My wedding is going to have a lot of alcohol, some of my friends are heavy drinkers and sing VERY inappropriate songs. We're having live rock'n'roll bands and the actual venue has uneven flooring...
