How we met Through friends/work

The RingsThe proposal Got home after work, (midnightish) candles, cheap wine, and an expensive engagement ring?

Summary of the big day Good!!

Funniest Moment A girl friend crying, claiming it was hay fever

Worst Moment Realising I couldn't sit in my wedding dress… all good in the end

Money Saving Ideas Look around seriously for a venue; don't say the word wedding when getting quotes.

Bride's/Groom's advice Elope?? No really… just make a decision, don't waffle too much.

What we would do differently Buy a dress… too much as well as everything else, AND remember to laugh, it is only one day of the rest of your life!

Cake Take in a sample when specifying the colour, apparently ivory varies…

Music Should have been more organised… but a good event can be gauged by the noise level, I couldn't hear the music!
