Received my bikes injectors back from a clean out service. Good print out, and explanation of work done. I sent it as a unit, got it back in individual packaging. Now i need to check the manual to rebuild. Fingers crossed, i get it right.

Nothing and by the sounds of it i wont be for years to come

So me and my misses have been looking at weddings. Me and my misses orinally wanted a beach set wedding far away in the sun or something and when you look at weddings aboard you basically get the honeymoon and wedding in one for a nice price. My misses mum refuses to fly because of whatever reason so now we are looking at weddings in the UK. £8K seems to be the cheapest we can find on the date we would like and we are being tight with our money

Well the next best option is to do it all down the pub with the chavs for a few hundred quid, pints and pork scratchings!! How can a DJ charge a grand for being able to press play on a CD player

As long as you two are happy that’s all that matters, if the In-Laws want it in the UK, let them pay for it, after all it’s not about either of them, it’s about you two.
Let’s be honest, if your MiL wanted to overcome a fear of flying there’s plenty of help out there.

Exactly what Deegee said mate. I got married in Fiji and the ones that really wanted to be there for us where there. The ones that just wanted a free piss up weren’t. To put yourself in the position of increased costs just to satisfy one person is not logical. Put her on a boat.

It’s your day and if you do it to make others happy you’ll regret it.
Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.

Put some XCP on some of the exposed metalwork on the Versys. The salt has been busy at work.

I bottled it this morning and took the car. It's too cold and as it's dark when I set off I have no chance of seeing if there's any frost or ice on the road.

Take this in the spirit it is intended in, but don't make the mistake of doing what anyone other than you two want to do.

It quickly becomes a committee with parents, grandparents and other family and friends saying what to do and where to have it and depending on who your family is it becomes expected to be in a nice venue because other people had it here and you end up spending a fortune (and i mean a fortune).

Thats what happened to my first marriage, which ended 1 year later after spending a fortune on the day. Tbh i dont remember much of it either as it goes quickly and everyone wants a bit of you.

Now i'm not saying that will happen to you and i sincerely think it wont, but myself and the current Mrs C00kiemonster got married with 2 witnesses at a registry office and a nice meal afterwards and then a party at our house the following day for anyone who could be arsed to attend. We had a great time and plenty of change from £500.

I went to a wedding last year in which my sister in law got married. Massive venues (the Beckhams got married there apparently), 600 guests, 3 days of eating, drinking and consuming and they even shipped in the chefs from India. Cost - way over £200k. It wasn't very good and wasn't very personal at all and was just an excercise in ticking boxes on a list. Money doesnt make a good party - effort and elements personal to you guys do.

Its your special day and everyone (and i mean everyone) should respect that. Be creative and make it yours, you wont regret it.
