Unfortunately they don’t cost pennies anymore Grant.Quote:

All money well spent! :)

Lol - same here, after nearly 30 years, although I suspect ours might have cost just a little more than pennies;)Quote:

Pure lunacy..... Some of them seem to think they're celebrities.

A friend did a car for the bride. The dress was the most expensive thing tbh. the rest of it probably cost about same as it(rings apart) Cant remember the cost in total but probably £650 covered it all. Even then it was fairly cheaply done without being miserly. Everyone enjoyed it. Good meal.. good buffet and dance..
Thankful no I didn’t pay for all of it although I did contribute, it was a great day even though the prices at the bar were outrageous.Quote:

In any case, if you do try the Roman Camp, I hope the food is still as good. I had a simply stunning fillet steak (with beef from Highland cattle) in a whisky and cream sauce, followed by crêpes Suzette, both flambéed at the table, just as was de rigueur with fine-dining, during the 70s (and before), and which you hardly ever see now. I think you have to dress formally for dinner though, although they may have relaxed that rule now.
Plus, the malt whisky selection in the bar was memorable!:eyebrows:

Last wedding I was at was very expensive at bar. I took a hip flask of bourbon with me, knowing they wouldn't have anything worth drinking.
Good plan, but if the latter is true, then you're attending the wrong weddings;)Quote:
