You can have mulled wine to warm the guests - and carols as hymns-
what a lovely time of the year to marry

kitsandbits · 03/09/2007 09:24

Yea I guess it will be nice,

still a bit miffed though! Christmas is busy enough without this! :S

are you still getting married in church- or having civil ceremony at the hall?

kitsandbits · 03/09/2007 09:37

Church,

it wont cost much more - just £60 'donation'

We wont bother with flowers as Im pretty sure with it being Dec 22nd there will be deccies up!

and no 'organist' just CD player i think! lol

BreeVanDerCampLGJ · 03/09/2007 09:39

So how did you get the old bat to hand over the money. ??

purpleflower · 03/09/2007 09:39

Congratulations

can I just ask though how did you get the church that cheap? Just booked the church and its going to cost us about £500!

kitsandbits · 03/09/2007 09:41

I dunno, my MIL booked the church and the priest just asks for a £60 donation.

We arent having any decorations or anything.

Oh it will be soo lovely!

Hectic of course but so lovely.

kitsandbits · 03/09/2007 09:42

I emailed her Bree and asked and she arranged for HER father to give us the money on her behalf.

OP posts:
BreeVanDerCampLGJ · 03/09/2007 09:43

IIRC Kits is Catholic, most Catholic churches that I know of do not ask for large sums of money.

BreeVanDerCampLGJ · 03/09/2007 09:44

Phew

Just make sure you never, ever, lend her money again.

tiredemma · 03/09/2007 09:44

Oh thats lovely- hectic- but it will be lovely.

Nbg · 03/09/2007 09:45

When dh and I booked the church for our wedding, all we were asked for was a donation.
That was Catholic.

kitsandbits · 03/09/2007 09:46

Yup, Catholic here too,

I think I might have to pay to have the heating on too as its December, lol

OP posts:
purpleflower · 03/09/2007 09:49

Thats brilliant. I'm C of E. I just couldn't believe how expensive it is.

Anyway sorry to hijack a bit there.

Once again a big congratulations, I'm sure it will all be perfect

kitsandbits · 03/09/2007 10:10

Lol, No worries.

My only concern is the photos,

I mean its going to be Dark at 3.30!

I wanted a late wedding to avoid the reception, but looks like it will ahve to be about 2 ish - meaning were going to be in limbo for a bit as party starts at 7pm

CountessDraculaPI · 03/09/2007 10:11

OMG

Fantastic news

kitsandbits · 03/09/2007 10:12

Lol, no that wasnt me! That was someone else on my thread!

But MIL did borrow money to pay her rent and never gave it me back - then moved to Menorca!
