    Great I didn't realise I could look them up online! I thought they might be store-specific deals. Going to ring the offie manager in there with this screen open when I get home from work!

    I was talking to the manager in Super Valu. They are doing a wine promotion Easter week where for every 6 bottles you buy, you get a tenner off. It also applies to the wine on special offer (8 euro a bottle)

    Bought our wedding rings yesterday! We didn't really intend to but we got a good deal on them and paid our deposit! We'll have them in 3 weeks. Bit concerned about taking care of them for that long esp when we'll be moving house soon! Also lost 4lbs last week!

    Anyone have any experience with Yvonne Harrington for dressmaking? Got a good quote from here that's within my budget. Sarah Foy is a little outside it - is it worth pushing my budget to go with her?

    Sarah Foy is pretty amazing, have a chat with her and she may be able to advise you how to reduce the prize i.e. less material or the likes?

    Hi Everyone
    just a little tip on prosecco and cava, M&S have lovely prosecco and its usually €16.99 per bottle. However at the moment its 2 for €24 which is comparable with Lidl and Aldi in price! Additionally, when you buy over 12 bottles you get an extra 10% off. We bought 36 bottles at the weekend!

    Ladies a few qns...apologies if these have come up before in the thread, I'm a recent addition! Page boys - what do they do/carry? I know flower girls will have to have flowers to carry...but page boys?
    Are any of ye thinking of doing sun beds for the big day? I have never done them before and would be totally anti-them but hate the thought of a dress covered in fake tan!

    I wouldnt use a sun bed. And i wont be having fake tan either. Just going to embrace the pale. A good photographer should make you look good in the photos anyway.

    Page boys can carry the rings on a cushion. (possibly not the real rings)

    I wouldn't normally use the tans either, I must say it has been in my head. But I wouldn't go tan booth, more maybe some nice shimmer fake tan or something.. I wouldn't do it if you don't do it normally..

    Planning to have my two nephews not really as page boys as such we aren't given them a title unless they really want it, but was hoping they would maybe walk to two girls down the aisle... So wouldn't give them anything to hold...or if they are getting anything they will be getting bubble guns

    I wouldn't normally go for a tanner but I'm thinking of a couple of coats (!) of a gradual tanner - I used the Cocoa Brown one over 2 nights before my hen and it just took the purple/blue/white glow out of my arms without making me look abnormally brown! Gradual tanner would be safer for me anyway as any patches you miss arent glaringly obvious and can be covered in the next round!

    I'm going to be pale and interesting! Still trying to fade the cycling freckle lines on my arms from last summer - they won't just feck off and it's already March...

    Fake tan would just look totally orange on me, no interest there.

    On that note, I know it did try the J&J one the gradually glow tan moistures and I think it was the garnier one. Is there any good one ye have come across that doesn't rub off or has that horrible tan smell that is quite nice. I think Palmers used to do one maybe that would be good.

    Freckle lines sure they are cute no...haha I still laugh when someone told me once that they could give me cream to fix the freckles on my face.. the cheek

    They were bloody ridiculous by the autumn last year, pretty much a solid line on my arms at the point where a short sleeved cycling jersey or running top stops, and I also had some on my back from the sleeveless tops and swimsuits I wore! I'm kinda hoping it stays cool until 23 May this year tbh...

    Word of warning on the tan from a photographers perspective. Overdo it and either you'll look like a tangerine or your guests will look like pale zombies.

    I'm really paranoid about tan lines :o. I have a strapless gown and I live in Vancouver where the weather will be savage from about May onwards. I'm freaking out that I'll have terrible racer back tan lines from exercise clothes! I'll have to make a serious effort to sunbathe in strapless bikinis on the weekends.

    How far in advance do you need to order wedding rings? Wedding rings are quite a bit more affordable than engagement rings, yeah?

    It depends on what you want. I had first thought i would go somewhere like h samuel for a wedding ring as i felt i got a fab engagement ring no need to buy a very expensive wedding ring. But i found they did very little in 18c white gold which my engagement ring is made of.

    Also i had an unusual engagement ring band so it was really hard to find a ring that complimented it so i got mine made. It cost 1150 for my band with pave diamonds and my OH's palladium band. I had costed similar in Jewellery stores and it was working out more expensive to buy from them.

    It took about 4 weeks to get our bands made but we specifically said we were in no rush.

    We just ordered ours in store (basic yellow gold bands), made the order on a Saturday and collected them the following Thursday. We both have relatively small, slim hands so they had to order in our sizes.

    Well we are only ordering our rings on Saturday (if it kills us!) and the wedding is in 5 week so that's how long it'll take :P Ah we aren't getting anything fancy so we've no bother in ours in fairness.

    I'm going to go with a gradual tan, I was going to get a spray but then I remembered that I NEVER wear tan so told myself to cop on. I'm always that one in photos with my gang that is pale so may as well continue along that road :) I used the Garnier gradual tanner for my hen and it really was nice, just took the white shine off me :)

    Where did you get your ring made? We're having a similar problem finding a ring to compliment the engagement ring and so far haven't got on too well.

    We got our rings in Martin gear. my ring needed to made to fit my engagement ring. Got an 18 c white gold with ten diamonds. Other half got a lovey two tone ring. total was 1000. Both beautiful rings and Martin was an absolute gent to deal with. makes the rings himself. He's definitely worth a visit.

    Thanks will check that out. We had gone to the place were the engagement ring was made but the cost quoted for the wedding ring was significantly above the budget we had earmarked for the rings.

    I went to Topaz jewellers in Limerick. He was fantastic too once he saw my ring he knew exactly what to do with it. Bit of a trek if you are not from the limerick area though
