Come one, come all.

Getting married? Come and tell us about it so you don't have to go on the scary Bridezilla forums.

Wedding-whore? Come and relive the best day of your life.

Wedding-voyeur? Bugger off, you freak! Get your fix here.

Ah, shame, thought I might have raved with you there. Coincidentally, that's how I met DP, through PaSSion - the chat forum to be precise! (Still have to type it PaSSion too Grin )

Moving away from Coalville is generally a wise plan :)

Loving loving loving it all.

Loving the dresses.

Loving the venues.

Loving the photographers.

Loving the ice-cream trike.

You should all know that I am going to hunt down your weddings and perve sit at the back watching quietly.

I'll sit with the little old lady from the parish who turns up to every single wedding in her church despite not knowing a soul...

I fell off my motorbike in Coalville, thats as far as my relationship with Coalville goes. I never went raving but dp has fond memories of there, he is from Wigston.

memphis83 · 25/10/2012 21:21

cats your welcome to mine as long as you wait at the back with me.I was going to walk down on my own then realised the guildhall is the most haunted building in the city and decided not to risk it and have my Dad take me down so I am not alone near the cells!

Memphis: do you mind if I ask how much you paid for the double decker? I've been quoted £500 for a coach for 70 people to do a 20 minute journey and it seemed pricey. I'm wondering if the double decker is cheaper.

catinwitchyboots · 25/10/2012 22:10

Kiss are you in kent?

I'm getting muddled with who's Kentish and who's not

I was also quoted zillions for an hour of a red bus. Then my fabby BM's husband introduced me to a bus fanatic dude who does weddings for a pittance.

He asked us for diesel money [hshock]

We bunged him 200 quid in an envelope and he was absolutely over the moon

AKissIsNotAContract · 25/10/2012 22:13

That sounds great cat but we are in Sussex.

ViviPru · 25/10/2012 22:18

cat I might take you up on that - we need a couple of witnesses for our legalities... I was thinking of holding an MN raffle for tickets (you think I'm kidding)

TobyLerone · 25/10/2012 22:21

There do seem to be a fair few of us in Kent, don't there?

catinwitchyboots · 25/10/2012 22:40

KENT is where it's AT Tobes Grin

catinwitchyboots · 25/10/2012 22:43

I may have finally found my purpose in life.

Pre-Aisle-bride-stroker.

Hell, I'll just hang around outside random churches on Saturdays and look for nervy brides.

I'll come armed with brandy and a stern voice Grin

memphis83 · 25/10/2012 22:59

akiss we are having a new double decker as the vintage ones hold below 70 but we have it for whole afternoon first pick up at 1.30 the another pick up, drop at venue for 2.30 pick us up at 4.30 (we are having reception drinks there) then on to reception venue all for 275. The 60's ones were 350-400 but as I said not big enough for us.

vivi pick me pick me I am so sad I have only been to 4 wedding i my whole life. My best friend is getting married next April tbough so that will be one more.

littlemissstan · 25/10/2012 23:12

Ooooh, it would be AWESOME if we could all turn up and be Vivi's witnesses in GIANT hats :) And then just vanish back from whence we came like wedding fairies sorry, may have been drinking tonight Cat, you may of course come to my wedding, there is a gallery in our ceremony room so you may sit up there and perv away...

catinwitchyboots · 26/10/2012 06:44

Arf. Like a giant hat wedding flash mob Grin

ViviPru · 26/10/2012 08:32

That would be amazing, stan - no one introduce themselves, just one minute there, then POOOOF. I'm giving this serious thought. memphis you wouldn't have far to travel....

In other news, I REACHED MY 2 STONE WEIGHTLOSS TARGET TODAY!! Grin

Setting my sights on 10st flat now - 8lb to go by May....

TobyLerone · 26/10/2012 08:35

Can we do a dance? Or a bit like at the end of The Thomas Crown affair, where we're all walking in different directions with our hats and you never know which of us is which?

WELL DONE, VIVI!

That's amazing :o Envy I've lost 6lbs the last couple of weeks but that's because I've been ill. Feeling mostly better now, so just waiting for it to pile back on :(

OP posts:
ViviPru · 26/10/2012 08:50

Yeah, I don't think a dance would be 'too much'.

I'm going to try my dress on again today, I'm worried it's going to be too big now but rather that than be the 2st heavier me that I was in April.

TobyLerone · 26/10/2012 08:55

I need to book a fitting and some alterations to my dress. I should probably try it on soon, maybe today, to check that it will do up. It would be horrendous to go to the fitting and have the woman tell me that it won't Blush

vivi not far to travel at all. Well done on weight loss how have you gone about it?

TobyLerone · 26/10/2012 09:16

Ok, I'll start the calendar:

TobyLerone: January 12th 2013

OP posts:
littlemissstan · 26/10/2012 09:20

Hooray for Vivi! I am being less than useless at losing any weight at all, not helped by the giant amount of tapas and red wine I consumed last night Blush I really do need to shed about 2 stone, and am putting off taking my measurements for the dress until I do, which could well be a rubbish idea as no doubt I'll still be the same size in 6 months time and then there will not be time to make it...

ViviPru · 26/10/2012 09:31

TobyLerone: January 12th 2013
