your little boy is gorgeous! He looks just like my Oh did when he was a baby- which means he'll be a stunner!!!

 

[Arcanegirl]

Right lets try again
this is essentially a journal, also a place to note down any details, thoughts etc.

Comments and input are always welcome good or bad

It'll be a registry wedding, neither of us are religious so that will be the way to go.
The wedding itself will be simple, ill be putting money more into the party afterwards and a decent photographer.

This is the place im hoping we can use for the party afterwards, we use them regularly to eat out and they are fantastic. Theres a full upstairs level with a bar etc and its the perfect size.

Ive emailed them last night asking about prices.

 

[honeybee2]

[Charlotte-j]

hi, can I stalk?

do you have a date set?
xx

 

[Arcanegirl]

You certainly can stalk
No date as of yet, we will be going to te registry office soon for information and see what they have avalaible.

Much love for Universal!! The upstairs would be a great size too, and a nice mix of seating choices etc for people to mingle

 

[Arcanegirl]

The website describes them as a bar/restaurant/club so im hopeful they have or will allow a DJ, certainly a must for me! Cant have a party without music

 

[Eala]

I've been there before when there was a "do" upstairs, and there was a whole live band carrying their gear up! So definitely room for a DJ

 

[Arcanegirl]

Ohhh nice

My dad has said if we save up £800 by June then he will match it, since we have a savings thing through Asda that matures in June giving us £800ish then that'll be a certainty
So budget so far is £1600!

 

[Eala]

Woohoo! That's a nice budget

 

[Arcanegirl]

Hopefully we can not go over it

So many ways to help keep costs down Lots of stuff you can DIY these days, like if you were wanting table arrangements and stuff like that!

I got *so* much stuff on the internet for my wedding, as it was so much cheaper! Had balloons on the tables instead of flowers, and my flowers are made of silk (so I still have them without having the hassle of freeze-drying etc!)

 

[Dream.A.Dream]

That venue is lovely!

Definitely look for stuff on ebay when you start buying, much cheaper xx

 

[Arcanegirl]

You can help me find everything i need then

 

[twiggy56]

Yay! Can i stalk too please?!

Venue is fab btw!

Oh and ebay is a MUST for keeping wedding costs down!

 

[Arcanegirl]

Of course

 

[booflebump]

[Dream.A.Dream]
