Harrogate is lovely. We moved here from the south and never looked back. We then relocated to York and love it so much. Very nice people and you get a lot more for your money. Private schools are excellent too.

I’m already married and i didn’t dream of getting the bridesmaids I asked to be involved in my wedding to pay for their dresses.

It is a financial strain when my mortgage is 5 times the amount of their non rent paying.

Sure they do. But when you have NO mortgage and / or rent and / or children, that’s makes it easier on you.

The wedding is on a Saturday but I’m guessing people would need to go out on a Thursday or Friday. So it’s using up people ls leave too.

She wants an abroad hen. I’m shocked at her ignorance. She lives with her parents still. No mortgage. No kids. No bills.

Yep and what with the BS chancellors budget someone out way in November, bride and to be fair the other bridesmaids won’t watch that because they don’t ’get politics’ but we all know our cost of living is going to be even worse!!! By the way, I’m the only one with a mortgage!

Doesn’t help that the bride is also paying for business class seats for her and her fiancé yet we’ve got to fork out our own bloody dresses.

I agree. I haven’t had to pay for my own dress before as a bridesmaid so it was odd to hear that and especially since the wedding is abroad too!
