[QUOTE]Originally posted by tricky: [QB] Congratulations! I remember getting our invitations printed: To save money, we got them printed in Spain (where my wife's family is from). After a couple of reprints due to spelling, the british royal mail lost them, and we ended up printing them on my dad's inkjet. What else happend... Bride's maid dresses have to be orders months in advance. 6 weeks beforehand the shop said it wasn't technicaly possible to make them in the material we had selected (which was odd, cosidering it was them who sold the combination to us), and couldn't do anything else in time. We managed to convince them they could. Dispite showing family members the route from the reception hotel (where my wife got ready) to the church, and a map, the car taking my wife to the church took a detour over some railway level crossings, and was held up for 25 minuets waiting for a train to go though. This was after leaving the hotel 10 minuets late as the haidresser had forgot her hairdryer and spray, and had to go and get them. My wife turned up at the church 40 minuets late. Which gave her uncle time to fix the flower arangement he'd broken coming in. The priest referd to my wife as James several times during the service. Who says the catholic church isn't progressive! We spent a lot of time to organise the wedding to be near my parents, who are close to Heathrow airport, rather than near where we and my wife's parents lived, the other side of London (about 70 miles), so members of my wife's parents could fly in and stay nearby. They all wanted to stay with my wife's parents or at our house, so taxi's and busses had to be arranged. A few of them flew in on the day, and took the coach with the rest of the family across london late that night. Unfortunatly, there was a small mix up with the bags, and my bag, containing my clothes, keys, wallet, mobile washkit etc, went with them. I didn't notice this until the next morning, so missed out on breakfast looking for it. Once located, I was stuck 70 miles for my clothes in a suit hired from a shop which was expecting it back that day. Fortunatly I found a spare set of clothes at my parents, which I last wore 10 years previously. When washing the car. By the time I had driven home (I got some funny looks at the services half way, my wife pretending she didn't know me) I couldn't feel my legs. What else... The reception venue lost a layer of the cake... On our way to our honeymoon, we stayed over night at a hotel next to the airport, which we couldn't get into for a couple of hours due to a fire near some gas canisters.. Rained almost constantly on our honeymoon, however my wife manged to get serious sun burn, and get a ear infection that nearly forced us to come home early, but was so bad we we worred about getting her on the plane. Dispite all of that, It was the best day of my life, and wouldn't change a thing on that day or since. Well, maybe that ear infection. Or that shirt. [/QB][/QUOTE]
