Yes we have still got our champagne! We were both too drunk and tired to drink it that night

 

[Charlotteee]

How lovely is that!! You will have to have yours on first anniversary or when baby is here lol xxx

 

[smileyfaces]

Yeah, I would actually really like to go back to mytton fold for the night for our anniversary...definitely nothing to do with wanting another breakfast there

 

[kbwebb]

invites look brilliant! were paying £9 something per head for beef/pulled pork baps in the evening at our wedding and i thought that was expensive! it soon adds up doesnt it

 

[Charlotteee]

I have had the BEST idea ever but I'm not sure if it will be out of place.

I wanted to name our tables after something we both liked, and I have come up with either naming them after Game of Thrones Houses or our series' that we watch so we would have

Stark
Baratheon
Targaryen
Lannister
Tully
Greyjoy
Arryn
Martel

Or

A Game of Thrones
Grimm
Penny Dreadful
Zoo
Under The Dome
Revolution
Terra Nova
Once Upon A Time/Stargate Atlantis (Not sure)

They are all the series' we have watched together since being together

But I think it might look out of place?? lol xxxx

 

[Tasha]

I like it. It's quirky and it makes the little touches more personal to you xx

 

[smileyfaces]

Honestly, no I wouldn't! The only way I would do it is if you were also incorperating it as part of a theme in other ways too otherwise I just think it would be quite random and out of place?! Is there anything else you could do to include the game of thrones/TV series references so its not just the table names?

Hope that doesn't come across the wrong way BTW lol.

 

[kbwebb]

I agree it will make it more personal to you but i do see why it could be a bit random. my SIL had her tables as guitar names as her OH was a music teacher but she had put guitars and musical notes and things on the invites too if that makes sense.

 

[smileyfaces]

Just seen this on fb and immediately thought of you!

 

[Charlotteee]

Haha no it didn't come across the wrong way Lou.

To be honest I've sorted everything now so there isn't much I can do to start incorporating things like that so I think I'm going to leave it. I would like to name the tables rather than number them but I have no idea where to start. Me and Andrew have never been on holiday together so couldn't do places we have travelled too. I'm probably going to end up numbering them lol.

Cake looks ace!!!

Thanks for your opinions guys xxx

 

[Charlotteee]

Is it normal to worry this far in advance of the wedding?

I'm panicking that nobody is going to turn up, that things aren't going to run right, and that guests will be annoyed at having to travel to church and then to venue. Wish we'd done it all in one place now but it would have cost a lot more - like £700 more! x

 

[Charlotteee]

Whilst I think about it too,

I've paid off almost everything.

Over the weekend I have paid off Venue, Room Decorations and DJ & Photobooth! Only got left to pay for now is Suits, Hair, Car, Pageboy suits, Cheese Cake, Donation for church, Presents for bridal party, favours and other little piddly bits and bobs like frames for signs that I bought and my garter/underwear etc and then the big hit at the end will be dress adjustments xx

 

[x_Rainbow_x]

Yes very normal. I panicked ppl wouldn't turn up as it was 1hr away from where we lived, I worried everything would go wrong and things wouldn't go the way I dreamed.

When the day comes your so wrapped up that you don't notice if small things don't happen and you don't care if people come as all you care is you married your best friend x

 

[smileyfaces]

It is normal to panic about those things...but don't lol! Everything comes together on the day and those who say they will be there will most definitely be there. You sound very organised!

Why would it have cost £700 more to get married at the venue?!

 

[Charlotteee]

Well the Church is only costing £150 in total as it's catholic, but we would have had to pay £250 for the ceremony room, then decorations in the ceremony room to hide the bar, and chair covers etc, and then £400 for the registrar with it being a Saturday! xxx

 

[smileyfaces]

Wow that's cheap for your church! Yes we paid the same for registrar, then on top of that you have to pay £70 to give notice!

A church wedding wasn't an option for us really because the venue was so far away from home...wouldn't have made sense at all! Sounds like you made the right choice! But it was nice waking up at the hotel on the day and getting ready there etc!

 

[Charlotteee]

I know, well it's a catholic church so they just ask for a donation.

Thinking about it now, I do wish it was all in one place but it's all sorted now so not changing lol xxx

 

[smileyfaces]

Don't blame you! Plus if you changed now, you can't guarantee the registrar can fit you in at the time you want! You have to ring at 12 months to go to book your time slot. So you are safer sticking with what you have got!

We had to give donations at both the boys christenings in the catholic church...so hard to know what to give!!

 

[CRWx]

Don't panic!

Not got any words of wisdom being as I've never been married but hugs!! xxx

 

[Charlotteee]

Yeah Lou. On the day I will be glad i've done everything the way that I have, it's easy to think now of all the what if's. All that matters is that Andrew and I get married

Thanks Char xxx
