thought it was about time for an update.

We decided to cancel the UK party hoping to get some of our money back. nope we've signed a contract so the hotel were adamant they would keep the £640 we've already paid for doing naff all.  So with a bit of negotiating we have turned the reception into a 3 course family dinner, would rather have had the money back but it's better than nothing.

cancelling that means we save elsewhere too, Adam's suit hire has just dropped by 25%, and I made the invites myself this week for under £10, that beats paying out £100.

we are now at the point where we have paid for everything (or have the cash to) and anything we save from now is spending money. I'm really proud of us for getting this far! There have been times where I've been tearing my hair out with stress not sure how we were going to make it happen.

Small rant: I must admit I am a little disappointed with my father he hasn't offered to pay for a thing (obv i shouldn't expect it but I am his only child and he has more than enough disposable income to afford to) I have asked him a few times for a loan to take the pressure off but he's laughed it off, also said he won't give me any money in case i gamble it away. At the moment I'm annoyed as he is still expecting to "give" me away.... er...... NO i paid for this myself I'll walk myself down the aisle thank you very much!

OK rant over... other than that we are ready to go and set for an amazing time in Vegas!!

Oh yeah i want my wedding breakfast here: http://www.thecheesecakefactory.com/#lobby

You would stop him from walking you down the aisle, because he hasn't paid for anything?

No it's the fact that he has refused to help at all, not even a loan. Although he did offer to pay for me and Adam to see Penn and Teller while we are out there... then made my mum pay for one of the tickets.  

But when my stepbrother got married he paid for their £2000 honeymoon.   only child <<<<<<<<<<<< wife's children.

Joobsie,
Maybe with traveling over to the wedding it is pulling on his purse strings. He possibly feels quite awful if he can't help in anyway but obviously wants to be there on the day. Maybe he was in a better position when your step brother wed.

At the end of the day you two will be married and that's what it's all about.

Now stop fretting and enjoy it. xx

Anyway i'm over it now, no point getting stressed out over it.

2 months to go! (and a few days) 79 days til the wedding which means 74 til we fly!

Pretty sporadic updates right now but that's mainly because most things are done, all that's left is mainly saving up the spending money. [   ] This is going well. I can't get overtime at work right now which means I'm on a part time wage.

September sees us get the wedding rings sorted, Joobs is due to go up to Morecambe at the end of the month for her wedding dress fitting...and we need to start looking at places for the cat whilst we're away.

Apart from that, all the travel to/from London is sorted (tikay will be happy, trains there and back) along with the hotels. Am starting to keep my eye on exchange rates to get $ now.

Starting to feel the excitement, although Joobs is mainly feeling sick about the flight!

Luckily, despite my drunken attempts to have her looking like something out of Rocky Horror Picture Show - Adam still loves her...
