We have spent a lot of money today!!!

Today we both had the day off so we made the most of it and went to Lakeside to get a few more bits done. The main thing we got out of the way is buying our rings. We have been searching for months for something we both love ,seeing as we will be wearing it forever, but we both liked too many and they were all so expensive. In the end i decided on mine and Dan made his final decision today so we ordered them before we changed our minds again!! I have to admit it is the one thing we have really smashed the budget on, everything else has stayed more or less within budget. We got them both from Ernest Jones and the girl that served us was excellent, she even remembered us from last time we went in there ( mind you we have tried on most rings in the shop!!!!). She was very helpful and in the end we thought it was worth spending more money on our rings if we are still going to like them in 10 years from now and they will last.
It was a good job we went in today as Dans ring is going to take 99 days to arrive which means it should arrive around the end of September!!!

The other thing we have done now is ordered the mens suits. In the end we went with Youngs as they were slightly cheaper than Moss Bross and every little helps! They offer a really good service and we can pick the suits up 10 days before the wedding and return them 2-3 days after. We are having grey tails and pink cravats. Dan will wear a very pale pink waiscoat and the others will have the same pattern in white. The men all need to go in to be measured about 6 weeks before the wedding and then they will try them on again when they arrive, just to make sure everything is ok.
I am trying to persuade Dan to go for top hats aswell as i think it would be excellent but hes not sure. I am going to keep trying, it would be so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also this week i have got my shoes and the bridesmaids shoes. Mine came from BHS and the bridesmaids ones are from good old E-Bay. I have got the kiddies favours aswell from a really good website called allaboutpartybags.co.uk where you can select what you want in each bag according to the childrens age. They are really good and should keep them all occupied!
