Operation "screw this"

[anne_l_davies]

Ok, as a continuing part of my attempt to stop working for the man, I need some help/advice. Can you please give me your thoughts on the following as appropriate to your knowledge / experience base

From this I deduce that your new Secret Business Operation will be on-site weddings at festivals. In a yurt.

That, or you've proposed to Ed.

Legal point - you can't get married in atent in the UK. You have to have fixed structure, with a roof!

On point 2 - it's not a leap year, Ed is still safe!

1) From what the internets tells me 8so far* it seems to very much depend on which model you go for. The "Chelsea Tractor" type stuff does seem pricey, the stuff which hasn't changed body shape in about 30-odd years seems more reasonable.

When I was about 17 my then boyfriend got me maneoveuring a Transit round a church car park. As you say, very interesting, but made the car seem much easier!

I have a VW car. The dealer is a bit shit at times. Although I'm aware that the set up may be different for commercial vehicles.

2) Thank you

3) Good, good.

I'me not very girly, but here's what I thought of bridal mags

3) I think I ended up getting a few issues of Brides and My Wedding. They're all virtually identical. Most of the content is adverts and pics of thin birds in big frocks. Other than short text advice on which styles suit which shapes, unless you're shaped like a model they give you no idea of how different dress styles will look on your body. The only wedding fair I did was at the venue we'd already chosen, with a few local businesses. The larger ones just feel like a rip-off - I don't want to pay to be a customer, thanks. The adverts are handy - it's how we first spotted our venue.

Highly useful, thanks :)

As someone who is also not girly, it's good to know what someone who has been through it thought.

There's some useful info (e.g. how far in advance you need to arrange venue, contact registrar, caterers etc), but it's the same in pretty much all of them. Pick up maybe 2 or 3 for info & ideas?

Now that made me chuckle! Stereotyping women? Never!!

These seem highly hippy-oriented - excellent!

Thank you!
