I'm just browsing the you and your wedding forums, and i noticed the following comment & response:
by Ms_Issock
"If you have agreed £1200 I can see why he is annoyed. £1200 is a huge amount of money to spend on a dress you will be wearing for a few hours. Can you not see that?
There are literally thousands of dresses out there and a lot of them are under your agreed amount.
The honeymoon sounds expensive too. Did you both agree you wanted to go to Hong Kong or is it simply somewhere you want to go? Is that the cheapest you can do it?
Maybe you should look at alternative destinations, afterall the importance of the honeymoon is to spend time together and that time can be spent anywhere. It doesn't have to cost so much."

"Hi Knot
I would ignore the post above - she has said some pretty harsh comments on other threads in the last couple of days. I had exactly the same issue with my h2b - if you look at my other topics you will see a post where I was crying over photography costs! My solution - I am now doing everything myself, making sure it stays in my budget (10k ex honeymoon) and just not telling him how things breakdown. He still thinks it is a bit of a waste of money, but knows how important it is to me, and is happier just having an amazing day for that amount rather than getting stressed about individual prices. Hope that makes sense!"
why isn't Ms Issock's comment being praised?
£1200 is a ridiculous amount to spend on a blimming weddingdress!!
