if anybody remembers "bride on the run last year",a friend of mine entered a competition ,she lost because the wining bride cheated,as a result she had offers flooding in to give her everything for her wedding,they got married in december and my god it was amazing,,this however is a different story,and im sorry but i think its wrong,by your own admition your wanting a free wedding and yet you work and in theory could pay like the rest of us.im sorry but i personally think what your doing is money grabbing

Tinsel, I didnt see the newspaper artical. But if you lived in her area, and noticed that so and so was doing her flowers, would that make you book them for her wedding? i doubt it.

and as for the photographer and videographer, the product of their work isnt seen until weeks after, so how are people going to see if they are quality or not enough to want to book them without shopping about first?

Whilst I personally do not agree and wouldn't have this at my wedding, I don't see the problem.

I am paying for my wedding; no parents, no in-laws, no grandparents, no-one else. BUT this doesn't mean my wedding is anymore 'right' than BOB's.

Do I have the right to feel superior to those B2Bs who are getting help from family, parents, in-laws, grandparents? No. Do I have the right to feel superior to those B2Bs on the dole who are using my hard-earned taxes to pay for their weddings? No. Do I have the right to feel superior to BOB because she asked for sponsorship to pay for her wedding? No.

Good on her for getting so many to agree - I wouldn't do it, but I don't think it is a problem.

Oh I am not knocking her at all, like i said she must be some salewoman and good on her for using her talents.

all I am saying is that i just dont get what all of the suppliers are gonna get out of it, apart from being connected to a wedding which for a lot of people is seen as bad taste or not right or whatever else other people on here have been calling it.......

I say fair play to you!

I agree, Lisa. If it's what you are happy to do, go for it.

What about the couples on Four Wedding who spend £20-30k on their wedding and then try to win their honeymoon? Is that unfair? It's all subjective. Your wedding, your way!

i realise that people do aleorts to have WHAT THEY CAN AFFORD me i am spending a majority of this year apart from my fiance, in fact we will have seen each other for 7 WEEKS this is because he coundnt find a job in the uk so took a job abroad ....why so that WE can pay for our wedding .....

But so what? It's her wedding and her choice. If she can afford to pay, but chooses to get sponsorship, it doesn't matter. It just shows she is savvy. I totally disagree with the commercialisation of a wedding, which is what this is, but in 2011, it's just the next step. Look at Christmas and Easter and Mother's Day and Valentine's Day - all totally 'commericialised', but we still celebrate them.

i find the whole thing vile and disgusting!! my opinion,it tokk me and my husband 2 and a half years to safe 5 thousand pounds to have our little wedding,we wouldnt dream of asking others to foot the bill,its not the done thing,,we had our magical day and what made it beter was knowing WE PAID FOR IT,US,ALONE,NO ONE ELSE,,,

but tinsel whats next,selling tickets to go to the wedding?

LALA I never said that they printed stuff that is un true, mistakes were made and No I will not be sueing anyone!

I respect that some people do not like this idea and that this is not right for them or that they do not agree with it. However each to their own. What is right for one person may not be right for the next and this is what is right for us.

A step too far for us, but not for BOB. If she is willing to have banners and leaflets and business cards and logos, go for it!

if everyone was the same maybe the country wouldnt be in several billion debt due to people not living within their means.

Has anyone else got any questions they would like to ask rather than just an opinion. I will be going offline in a minute. I wanted to share my story with you all the way that it really is. I appreciate all your comments and views

Im sorry hun but when you do something like this you are going to get opinions .....rather than questions

I wish I could remember which member it was... Tiggs no joke, although I am sure the B2B will decide against it lol!

Tinsel you are right there was someone whos H2b said just that .... i cant think either

I will NOT be selling tickets to our wedding. It is not going to be a circus, however people may imagine it to be I will be keeping it tasteful and I will prove that once we have actually had the big day. Advertising companies does not have to be done in a tacky way.

Isn't it a little like 'Don't Tell The Bride'? We find out all the suppliers on that programme and they give discounts BECAUSE of the TV programme. Those couple get £12,000 for nothing - they didn't earn it...

Anyone remembered who it was?

Oh dear. That's sad. Well, I hope it goes well for you and I would like to see your pictures. Perhaps after the wedding you will come back and show us?

well i think that this thread may have to be closed we have all had chance to voice our opinions but i think we now have to agree to disagree ..

Khrystal i may not agree with what you have done but i would like to wish you all the best for you future

Good on you if i had the guts to ask then i would

Thank you clarabella
