Wedding Date Hell

It's your wedding! Screw everyone else. If they can't make the effort to be there on your chosen day, sod em!

Easier said than done!

Here is the situation:

Impossible!

You know that your wedding day is for you and your wife? So pick a date that agrees with you pair and let everybody know as early as possible. If they want to come they will get the time off.

The restaurant can close on another day.
You can get the head to approve a day off work during term time.
The correct Gods (or whatever auspicious nature you need) will smile down on you whatever date.

You and your wife-to-be need to stand firm and play ball on your terms!
 
£18k for 200 people sounds a bargain to me. If the family aspect is important (and tbh, how many of the people saying "just do it your way" have actually done the same and upset a whole chunk of your family?), bump it into 2009.
 
£18k is nuts.. I'm going to offer my daughter the cash when she's older.. She can have the money for a deposit on a house or blow it on a wedding. I'm hoping she'll be sensible.

I attended a wedding recently which was done on a budget. So much so that if they didn't know partners they weren't invited to the breakfast. It seemed wierd at first but actually it's quite a brave decision. Why should you pay £50 per head for half you don't know or never likely to???

In fact, I have to say it was the best wedding I've been to (apart from my own of course #slap# )
 
Sounds like a mission mate,
My other half proposed to me on the 7-7-07 at 7 mins past 7 in the morning lol

Were now getting married on the 8-8-08 on the isle of man. All booked, and now saving like mad to pay for lol :D
 
I can't tell you what you should do until you provide me with pics of the other half...

To everyone saying "it's your wedding do what you want", you have to remember his fiancé is from a different culture. In chinese culture weddings are all about the family not the couple, however wierd that may seem to us, that is what they expect.

If they are that passionate about keeping tradition (includiung your fiancé), imo its best to wait and do it properly, maybe try convince them to let go one of the stipulations of the date?

Was just about to post the same!!!

We got married for less than £500 and thats including the dress!

Father in law paid for the cars.

Mother in law made the brides-maid dresses and paid for the flowers.

My parents paid for us a honeymoon to Spain.

Church was free, we had the reception in the church hall, also free.

We made all the food, sarnies, trifles, cakes, buns, etc. etc. etc. there was a massive spread!

Think the only thing that cost us, other than the dress was the Photographer.

It wasn't a small do either, there were a good 100+ people there.
