In honesty I think if the money was an issue then I`d be happy to forego the honeymoon especially if you`re having to move house! the wedding is the most important thing so save your money for your new home... you can have a honeymoon/holiday at a later date.

If your girlfriend insists on doing something then just book a nice country pub somewhere that are running a 3 nights for the price of 2 or something.

Don't bother, it is an expensive waste of money when there are more important things to worry about when starting married life together.

A honeymoon/holiday will happen as and when you can afford it. In the meantime, just book into a good local hotel for your wedding night.

I take it that you will be doing the business up here in kitten country.

I had a thought this morning................

Can you do a wedding list at a travel agents??????

Because if you already have a house, you don't need the normal things that you put on a wedding list such as plates, iron etc.

Instead you could set up a list at the travel agents?! I don't know if this can be done by the way, just an idea!

My wife's half-brother did a wedding list at a travel agents in Norwich - well basically they just booked the holiday and then asked people to donate towards it - what ever was left they paid for themselves - worked quite well.

Friends of mine were in the same situ. They had their home all sorted so didn't need the usual bits and pieces given as wedding presents. They were also tight on budget, but both had dreamed of going on safari.

They set-up a website with all the wedding details for guests (a few were traveling etc), explained their dream and asked if people could donate as opposed to buy presents. They set up a paypal a/c specifically - link on the site... They did a small wedding list with John Lewis as well, but they got their dream.

Just a thought.

Cheers All

Mr Tim

No we are getting married here in shandy pansy country.. my old home county the north was too cold. lol.

I think my fear is spending **** loads of wonga on a place and hotel I have never heard of, the only reviews are whining buggers that saw a scary insect and someone got the ****s because they drank too much but suspect food poisening. I cannot bare the thought of forking out for it to be crap.

The wdding list idea could be a possibility,

Kittens sister is a summer holiday reveler and so has found some lovely places, ill see what she comes up with and can reccomend from the past!

Sounds like you have it covered and I agree, the wedding lit idea is brilliant idea.

Good luck finding the right honeymoon and congratulations in advance!
