My friend was shocked when I said I wasn't doing traditional stuff. It's not us, both been married before and we wanted simple not formal stuff. She was adamant I couldn't see DF until the ceremony, that I had to get professional make up/hair, flowers etc

Bugger that! I've got 4 kids to dress and organise, I'm not taking 2 cars to the venue.

Think all our guests are in for a shock when they see just how laid back we are going to be!

wysiwyg - that's beautiful you can go back to your wedding location, sounds wonderful
