    My Mum and Step Dad did this Nicky. They hired out a gorgeous place right on Albert Park and they said it was their engagement party but only a few people knew what was happening. So Mum and my Step Dad carried on with the night as usual and then about an hour into it we disappeared and go changed. I was flowergirl, my Aunty was Maid of Honour so we helped Mum into her dress and then out we went. People were expecting speeches to be taking place, not us walking out with my Mum behind us in her gorgeous wedding dress!

    I was the photographer for friends that did it a few years ago. Everyone went to the engagement party, all went along normally for about an hour & a half. Then all of a sudden the bride's nephew was sick, oh no, bride, sister & nephew had to go to out to the other little room attached to the function room to look after him...... They were actually getting changed, bride, bridesmaid & page boy Everyone was so shocked as there was only the three getting changed, the groom & me that knew what was really going on.

    The cost was basically whatever it would cost to hire out the function room at the club & meals. All alcohol was paid for by the guests at the bar.
