What are you girlies doing for your hen nights, I hadn't really thought about mine till recently and are unsure what to do!

Nicy as said on the 2011 thread. I like the first one ) x

 

OMG dont say that. It will cause more family problems if we can't have FI's brother and sister as witness'. Great. I'm gonna have to check this one out with our hotel.

 

Herbie - what a cheek! £600 OMG that is out of order

Can you tell I work in customer services - lol!! x

 

 

 

 

Yes, im with you, mine was about £400 difference booking with TA than if i went direct, but i have piece of mind that if anything goes wrong like volcano... through TA we would be covered and whole thing can be moved... direct through hotel we'd loose everything if we couldnt make it etc, you get the picture... :-) but as you say it worth a shot!!!!

fingers crossed for you x

 Thanks Michelle :-)

The thing is check it out with your TA/Hotel at least MIL and rest of them cant blame you.... ITS their rules not yours....Im really not sure if it does differ resort to resort so its definatly worth chaecking out.... Let ua know :-) x

ARSE, our 4 witnesses are supposed to be my brother, antony´s sister, and the couple who introduced us. I already gave all their details to our wc with the relationships who they were to us, and they never said anything, so i guess we´ll see when we get there..... would make it difficult singling out 2 more from the rest of our friends who are going tho......

 

3 months on tuesday til we get married.... how fast has time gone this year!!!!

[Nicyx]

This year has gone by stupidly fast!!! 3 months how exciting for you .....

 

 

 

.... we are now at 6 months 3 weeks and 6 days!!!!! I CAN NOT belive it was 5 months ago when we booked it.... now if the next 5 months go by that quick....... IM SCARED!!!!!! haha :-) BUT CANT WAT :-) x

Soon-to-be-McRae - what a cow!!!!! How rude is that!!!! Well my friends wedding at zucchinis was absolutely stunning!! so sod them!!

 

I contacted my hotel and they said the witness' can be related!!! She said the only restriction is they have to be there 3 days before to sign documents etc. So check with your resort!

 

Anyone know the normal ettique for witness' who they should be ? x

[michelle2011]

I can't find my (really) old emails but i'm sure i read we can have anyone be witness'. I'm hoping it's different rules for different hotels here cos my MIL will hit the roof if her son and daughter can't be witness'. I dont want to be falsed to have SIL as bridesmaid NOW!!!!!! I have emailed the hotel and the TA to find out. I'm so sure i read it was OK otherwise we wouldn't have asked them. I have my fingers x'd we can.

 

Kerry i think you ask who you like i dont know if there is a definate rule on witness' i could be wrong. Most weddings i've been to it's been the brothers/sisters or best friends.

 

Obviously going abroad with a small group we are limited to who we can ask!

 

And yes that woman was SO RUDE... you should of said "errr HELLO i am standing here" (bit**)!

[Nicyx]

Michelle.... it will be like most things from resort to resort they do change so i wouldnt worry :-) xox

 

I agree VERY rude indeed!!! a bit of tact wouldnt go a miss.... silly woman x
