My first pre trip report....

[Deafjeff]

Hi all...

Just booked first class single to Gatwick from Cardiff for two of us (£52.50)

Will book first class home when the train company updated their webiste....

We are leaving Cardiff at 1:30 to London then to Gatwick via Victoria should be at the airport around 4:50....

So we are travelling in style! Need to book a lounge at the Gatwick airport.... hotel all sorted - we are staying at Hilton and we are so taking advantage of twilight check in

The only thing left is to buy some more summer clothes as I have lost some weight so need to some clothes that actually fit me properly rather than having my trousers hang low like some teenagers!

Need to do all the silly paperwork which we still have time but better to do it waaaaaay before just in case we forget!

Have I miss out anything?!?!?!?!!???!?!!?!?!?


Need to look at the vows options and create our own vows in time for the planners to review and 'approve' it.

[Tink]

Sounds like things are coming together nicely.

What do you mean, "approve" your vows? You can say whatever you please to one another I should think! No one need approve of the sentiments you care to express in a a vow renewal!

[Deafjeff]

I think it more of making sure it is suitable etc...

For example we cannot use anything that refer to 'wedding' or marriage...

[Tink]

Really? I don't think that's allowed; to control your language I mean. Not to get argumentative with anyone, but "marriage" is NOT a word of which the usage can be controlled. Anyone can refer to their union as a marriage regardless of legal status.

I'd be right put out if someone "reviewed" my vows for propriety.

[Tinkfan]

Sounds like a plan in the works!! Abercrombie $ Fitch is having a big sale online! Just bought my son a ton of t-shirts and a few polos.

if they tell you to remove words like marriage can you let us know as I would very much like to write a stiff letter ( on coardboard prolly ) to WDW marriages ,as same sex marriage is legal in other countries all they are doing is allowing a reaffirmation of vows and does not contravene the petty law of their land

[Deafjeff]

well when we got married here, we were not allowed to mention wedding or marriage.

Any poems with the wedding 'wedding' or 'marriage' is also unlawful

shame on them.......



BUT....wooohoooo, you first pre-trippie!!

[Tink]

Perhaps in the UK, but honestly, it really shouldn't be here. Again, no one can prevent a person from laying claim to their relationship being a marriage. No one. Ugh.

Sorry Jeff. This is a wonderful time for you and you don't need me ranting about politics, eh?

So!!! Choosing your vows... are you writing your own, or using something from a poem, song, experience?

Not to worry, i know where you are coming from, they have emailed us couple of ideas and different vows poems etc.

Too many to choose!!!!

We also currently looking for different poems, reading etc to see what out there...

Wont be long!!!!
