my wedding had no favours - in fact we had nothing much!

We bought the cake in waitrose on the way to the reception and scraped happy birthday off the top. Everyone came to a cheap Italien and had to pay for themselves but my mum and dad paid for the drink. I wore a 19.99 cream dress from river island adn dp wore a jacket from marks and spencer that we tried (and failed) to return the next day.

the whole thing came in at under £100

blimey it took 101 message to get a positive.

I have favours too, I didn't hav e asit down so no favours, although we had a line (my dad who is deaf insited on it as he waanted to meet everyone. then again it was simply in teh middle of th room so people oined the line as and when and were fed thoughout.

I also like the speeches, my dad cried when making his, so did I. But then at ours we had DH serenade me, which made 1/2 the room cry (not thorug appaling signing )

You know I have always wondered about the sugared almonds at weddings... I had no idea they were known as "wedding favours", which sounds vaguely rude to me.

I didn't have any favours or anything. We had a picnic in the grounds of the Alton Towers hotel and then everyone went to the park afterwards. The park tickets were the most expensive thing, the rest cost about £250. We spent more on the honeymoon.

The best wedding i have ever seen was outside the local catholic church, it was a gypsy wedding and the whole wedding party were in a different Disney character outfit, the bride was ariel, the mermaid, complete with tango tan!

I'm a bit nervous about revealing this but hey - bring on the laughter, mockery whatever.

We created favours for our guests - a CD with some of our favourite songs (ones that were appropriate for the occasion). Everyone seemed to like them, I think

Took dd to a children's party at an outer London "Country Club" recently...

...the other function room hosted a wedding; dozens of blardy heart shaped balloons outside, and a minging procession of women arriving, all orange streaky tans and ALL carrying little baskets that looked like they should have had scampi in them, but had miniature teddy bears...

It was a very parallel universe - type experience I have to say.
