    Abelton live is the most popular one for the past few years afaik. If you have a Mac I've heard that garage band is pretty good and doesn't cost anything so you can start straight away and play around with it

    He hasn't mentioned what kind of wedding it is, I don't think? Other than they're having a first dance and it's in Clare, if I recall correctly. They could be having a pagan ceremony at dawn at The Burren and an all day silent rave for the afters, for all we know.

    In all seriousness though it would be absolutely fantastic if we could engineer a scenario where he arrives at the church only to discover he is being wed by John Lacey

    Anyone know how long it should take for an old employer to issue a P45? I left on the 7th Oct and still no sign. Emailed payroll anyway but they of course didn't reply.

    When did you normally get paid, weekly or monthly?

    You don't need it, ring the revenue with your pps number give them the name of your new employer and they will update detail on your new employers ros for you :)

    Takes a couple of days

    Hmmmm..... I actually did that. But the person on the phone I spoke to told me that wasn't sufficient and I needed to submit my P45 as well, which is why I'm after it. So I don't need it after all?

    Doesn't the groom just usually thank everyone and toast the bridesmaids etc.

    Most wedding guests hate speeches so I wouldn't feel pressured into saying much.

    Every wedding I have been at the groom has given a reasonably length speech.

    Normally a speech which raises a glass to the bridesmaids, lavishes praise on his new wife, says some nice stuff about the parents and thanks for anyone else they see fit.

    Depends on whether you want to go the traditional route or not.

    Traditionally you are meant to thank the bride, compliment the bridesmaid and then go up and slap your new father in law with your ballsack.

    As far as a toast, you can do what you like - short thanks or a longer bit of a yarn. I've seen it all, but if your not confident in your speaking then keep it brief.

    The web summit is a bit of a joke imo. Virtually none of the starups that pay to be there get off the ground. It's a harvesting spot for recruiters and little else.

    If you only toast the bridesmaids and not the bride.....youre sleeping on the couch on your wedding night

    Thank anyone else necessary, and thank people for sharing your special day
