I wpersonally wouldn't rely on the disposable cameras...have you thought of a polaroid guestbook?

We are havng one so as well as the guests signing a book we will have a photograph of them above their signatures etc
That way we are guaranteed to have a pic of everyone there nd a nice way of remebering what they were wearing/what they looked like!!

TSM - You are my resident expert!

Dropdead - polarid guest book sounds like a fab idea, but they are inly 4 adult guests at my wedding so it would be more like a memo than a book!

Going to start emailing photographers today

At my wedding I had a fantasy about setting up a video diary room where guests could pile into and give little video messages . Thought it would be hilarious to look back at it. Especially if folks have had a few drinks and piled in there. Was too complicated to figure out how to set it up and too many other things to sort out so we never did it.
Thanks tillyscoutsmum glad you liked the site. Am thrilled to be resident expert!
Stilllovefoxes Am happy to work as Tilly Scout's deputy!
We did have a friend take a super film of the ceremony itself. Super 's great; it's only three minutes long so can never be long and boring; it's lovely and griny so really retro and everyone looks good a little bit grainy! Especially at my age! Also it has no sound so nice and atmospheric; you can't hear anyone muttering "Is it switched on yet?" for example. We love watching ours.

That's Super 8 film I mean. And Grainy, not griny.

Well its DPs stag night! Hoping for no elf pooing incidents!

SShips - hope your DP has a great night - what are you up to in his absence?

im having a glass of wine and just hanging around here, just put the children to bed and am now relaxing!

Hi SS, is your dh2b staying out all night? Do you know where they've gone? Are you worried about the load of washing you'llhe'll have to do tomorrow?

Hi SS - Hope your H2B is behaving him elf

DP is off on Friday for 5 days on a lad's holiday - dread to think the sort of state he'll come back in

Morning all.

He stayed out all night, but didnt make it past 10pm, they all want back to the Naval base and crashed out lol. Bless.

Got a picture message of him in the same elf suit, tied to a lampost in Portsmouth Harbour.

Thankfully he has managed to keep full control of his bodily functions, or if he hasnt no one is telling me.

Ah - be thankful for small mercies eh ? Just hope he manages to retain control on the wedding day

EEEEugh, how did the elf suit get laundered after the last 'airing' lol...?

Good news is, after they stuck him to the lampost they stripped him naked and threw the elf costume in the sea (gone forever) and left him until a friendly local fisherman took pity on him and gave him his wax jacket. They then borrowed a ladies ball gown and hat, dressed him up in that. He got to weatherspoons and passed out, had to be carried to the dockyard!

He is so very embarrassing!!

oh smallships - you are very cool about all that drunken behaviour!!! Luckily my dp is quite private and hasn't got round to telling many of his friends about our wedding... (he didn't tell any of his work friends about me being pregnant even - only when he didn't turn up for a meeting because he was holding my hand during labour did he explain!!) no stag do planned - sounds like lucky lucky me!!!

I am just back from the beauticians with silky smooth skin, fluttery eye-lashes and the prettiest feet I have ever owned!!!!

BUT my babysitter was late coming to my place and that made me late and so the beautician said she didn't have time to do my hands (sob, sob(sad]) after she had spent an hour on my feet! Oh well. Thats life ! Was hoping on getting out of the washing up tonight - no luck there though!!!

are you a fairly relaxed bride tft?

ha ha ha - well it is a relaxed wedding really! No stress!

So, how are you differentID?

Are you planning on having a honeymoon?

no- can't afford one. We've had this week more or less to ourselves, so that will have to do.

plus why go on a honeymoon if your whole life is one- hey!!!

exactly. He's currently cleaning his golf shoes with a bamboo skewer.
Wedded bliss eh?

I am trying to find a black cab for Saturdy and dp and dd are topping and tailing french beans and kissing to celebrate each one finishing - why are we bothering to say "I do" we are an old married couple already!!! He he he!!!

T42 - just wanted to wish you a fantastic wedding. Enjoy every moment and don't forget we'll need full report and pics when you get back

Enjoy xx

tsm - how very sweet of you! Thanks!

Am trying to find a cab for Saturday - it is getting messy!!! Who'd of thought getting a black cab in London could be so difficult!!!

Just realised I have no cardigan to wear for if it is cold on Saturday... and my dress is a really summery one... am busy trawling my wardrobe for a cardigan that goes!!!!! Eeeek!!!
