How about something funny? This is very british humour: Yes, I'll Marry You, by Pam Ayres Yes, I'll marry you, my dear, And here's the reason why; So I can push you out of bed When the baby starts to cry, And if we hear a knocking And it's creepy and it's late, I hand you the torch you see, And you investigate. Yes I'll marry you, my dear, You may not apprehend it, But when the tumble-drier goes It's you that has to mend it, You have to face the neighbour Should our labrador attack him, And if a drunkard fondles me It's you that has to whack him. Yes, I'll marry you, You're virile and you're lean, My house is like a pigsty You can help to keep it clean. That sexy little dinner Which you served by candlelight, As I do chipolatas, You can cook it every night! It's you who has to work the drill and put up curtain track, And when I've got PMS it's you who gets the flak, I do see great advantages, But none of them for you, And so before you see the light, I do, I do, I do! Or (for a close friend or relative to read) - you may want to change/remove the ending as it doesn't quite fit your criteria: He always leaves the seat up She leaves wet towels upon the floor The toothpaste has no lid on And he never shuts the door! She’s not that clean and tidy Though she may sometimes delude Leave your things out at your peril In a second they’ll have moved! She’s a very active person And she always wants to win Where as he likes lazy days She’ll still drag him to the gym! He romances her and dines her Home cooked dinners and the like He even knows her favourite food And cooks for her every night! She’s thoughtful when he looks at her A smile upon his face Will he look that good in 50 years When his dentures aren’t in place?! He says he loves her figure And her mental prowess too But when gravity takes her over Will she charm with her IQ? She says she loves his kindness And his patience is a must And of course she thinks he’s handsome Which in her eyes is a plus! They’re both not wholly perfect But who are we to judge He can be pig headed Where as she won’t even budge! All that said and done They love the time they spend together And I hope as I’m sure you do That this fine day will last forever. And you’ll enjoy the drink and food! He’ll be more than just her husband He’ll also be her friend And she’ll be more than just his wife She’ll sometimes drive him round the bend. This poem for xxxxxx and xxxx A married couple now Is a token of the love they share And the thought behind each vow. Just some of my favourite non-naff ones!! Hannah

Welcome to the forum!!

Robin hi, I'm a european bride in many ways, being British and having a French FI; like Gracie we're getting married in France. I totally agree with Nathaniel, the Amalfi coast is gorgeous, my step-mother had an apartment in Naples for a few years so I know the area, although I haven't been for a while. We've been invited to a wedding in Sorrento two weeks after ours and are really gutted to miss it because we're on our Honeymoon - it looks amazing. I'm sure Gracie can help you with the planning a wedding across the Atlantic but if I can add anything please PM me. ciao Hannah P.S. CONGRATULATIONS!!

Hi - if you are in the "advanced editing" bit you can usually delete the little box which has the vistaprint.com logo written in it; thought this might help someone. Hannah P.S. Vistaprint is great - so many good deals!

I'm a Maggie Bride - Sabelle - and I absolutely love it! http://www.weddings.hu/images2/0805/.../sabelle-k.jpg Can't wait to wear it! Hannah

It all looks really great - well done!

These look a great idea - but are they safe? Putting a candle inside a paperbag seems a bit of a worry to me!! Are they special bags? Or am I just an over-cautious bride!? Hannah

Hi, Not sure if anyone has posted this yet but I think it would fit the bill for people who would like to do a puzzle book with a twist or wanted to cut down on costs but still include some puzzles. Basically you type in your list of words or clues and then choose the puzzle you want to make (they have more puzzles than I knew existed!) and you can use anything you want, bridal party names, table names, Q & A, anything. Welcome to Discovery Education's Puzzlemaker! Create crossword puzzles, word searches, mazes, and other puzzles for your classroom today! I use it with my classes and thought it might be something useful to someone, sorry if this is a well known website! Hannah P.S. forgot to say it's completely free

Hi, I want to set up an account at one of these photo sharing websites for everyone to accumulate all their photos on after the wedding. I'm going to Vistaprint some business cards with the address and login etc in OOT bags and possibly in the thankyou cards. My only issue is I want to be able to download everyones' photos in high quality at my end. Most of the websites seem to greatly diminish the quality of downloaded files or you simply can't do it and have to order a print. Any suggestions on what websites to use so I can get these cards printed up? thanks Hannah

what a lovely idea!! They look fabulous.
