It's your wedding don't let others decide how you spend your special day.When i got married it was a jeans and tee shirt wedding in church. We still had guests fork out pounds for new suits and dresses. We still got married and enjoyed our day.

Malc/Jackie...dont let anyone turn your special day into a fiasco,,,.



If others are going to make you feel uncomfortable about your arrangements you wont enjoy it feeling somebody is grumpy on the day,,,,,,,,,,blow them a raspberry and,

***Do it your way***

Ps,, I'd wear the dress for the evening it finish the day off perfect,,,,,,,,,

Tell them you can only please one person at a time and today is not their day and tomorrow is not looking hopeful either!

Your day, your wedding do what ever pleases you and your bride.

Hope you have a lovely day.

Love Linda x

Hi Jackie
Its a pity that when someone is like yourself and willing to try and change or compromise to make everyone happy,that people take advantage to try and get there own way.
Everyone is right,this is one of the very few days in a persons life that you get to have things all your own way
Enjoy it,its your day
The only decision you need to make now is wether to tell people to Butt out nicely or with force LOL
Once you have done that just try and relax as much as you can,you will have a wonderful day
Regards Tania

Have to agree with what everyone else has said. It is your BIG day and you should spend it how you both want.

I hope you both enjoy your day and make it a memorable one for you both. You are the important ones, everyone else is a supporting actor, so go for it.

Jackie,

It is your day so b****r everyone else...It is a day for you to be happy with the man you want to spend your life with.

I had endless problems with my wedding, neither of our parents were there....So what!

We did what we wanted to and thirty years later are still together..

Do your own thing girl...and in years to come you will know that your wedding day was a happy one...

All the best to both of you..

Lindy ;)))))))))))))))

It is yours and Malcs day Jackie do whatever it is that you want. If they don't like it they can stay away. I guarentee (spl?:-) you won't miss them,
something on the same lines happened at my daughters ended up none of my brothers family came you know we didn't miss them one bit. It was a lovely day even though it was my daughters day I still get goose bumps thinking about it.
So forget them concentrate on yourselves.
Have a wonderful wonderful day

Have to agree with everyone else Jackie and Malc. It's your day, how dare these people interfere!! Have the wedding that you want, and if they don't like it, well tough!

Hope you both have a lovely day whatever you decide.

Oh Jackie, don't you know you should never try to please the rest... the only person you have to worry about pleasing is your OH. It is your wedding after all and no one else's.

If they don't like it they can lump it.

Congrats on your forthcoming nuptials and I hope it all goes wonderfully for you and oh.

I think those people making a fuss are very selfish.
Go through everything you have arranged, make sure it is what you want and only you, and then confirm it all. Tell the guests that you have made the final decisions as it is your special day and if they don't like it, they can lump it!
Then go ahead and have a super day, wear your dress as long as you feel comfy.
Hope you find time to enjoy yourselves, on the day, stop and take a breath every now and then to let it all sink in.
