There is a website for every possible thing that could be a wedding venue. That bingo hall is not the worst I've seen...

Yeh true, when people get married in schools, I find that worse! My Dad wanted my sister to get married in the school we all went to since they rebuilt it and made it into a Banqueting Suite!! Although it looked nice, the point is, we studied there, don't want to get married there too!! My sister almost gave in but I was having none of it! :nono:

I sort of agree... I did see one venue which is a private school for little ones which is stunning (not as nice as the venue we chose obviously(!), but lovely still) but I'd liked to have gone to school there instead! Bit late for that... But I guess it's different as it wasn't the school I went to and it woudl haev been in a marquee...

We should probably start a Wedding thread!

haha - yes but not with hubby! A friend is in London for one night only so a quick drink with her then home to hubby! :red: He's gotten off lightly, I'm usually mad on celebrating EVERYTHING I can think of...

I agree! Since we love talking about it!!! I love marquees, the ice cream cousin had his family night before wedding in a marquee in his back garden. Perhaps you could send your future kids there one day! :rolleyes: What was your venue like?
