This one sounds lovely

I'm not sure weddings make good surprises. For many women they are the high point of their lives and she might very well be disappointed to have no input into it. You need to be really, really sure she won't mind having it all done for her.

Are you really sure about this?

Most women want to be intimately involved in the planning of such a big day.

I know it's a bit different when you've lived together a long time but it's not like a surprise holiday.

Think carefully

I wish my fella would do it for me! :o)

[4getmenot]

I's like it too probably because I dont really want a big wedding but I think redcrx will be annoyed think she's already bought the hat

[redcrx]

4get, I would be annoyed, Ive made the pageboy and bridesmaid!

[ladybird49]

lol red what out of ....paper?

[4getmenot]

no they are definately real. Awwwww I can see miss redcrx as a bridesmaid. bless

[ladybird49]

Well 4get u surprise him then?start organising a biggie !

[4getmenot]

he hasnt even asked me

[guysach]

she does not want to arrange the wedding she had a big wedding first time round (she was a widow) and she hated all the fuss that went with it so I think she would love someone to do it all for her . any other ideas apart from gretna green?

[4getmenot]

get a wedding holiday package

I would be hopping if my fella arranged our wedding without me having an input. On the other hand, my sisters husband arranged a holiday to Las Vegas for them both & proposed to her on the plane - asking her to marry him when they got there & she did, thats different though - once there they both chose the chapel & each bought their own outfits.

If you did this for her, she wouldnt even get to choose her own outfit. It's a lovely thought, but a very risky one. whatever, you choose to do, be lucky & happy.

Your lady would also want to have her hair done, and to arrange that the children as well as herself are nicely dressed for the photos. Even if she doesn't want a big fuss, she will want to remember the day as very special. I think you are a great guy for wanting to do this as a surprise, she's a lucky lady, but couldn't you drop a few hints to see how she reacts. The Gretna Green package is lovely, and you will need two witnesses, but the package organisers will arrange this if you wish. Whatever happens have a wonderful day, and all best wishes for the future.

You can make up your own tailor made package to suit your budget etc.

[Whoever]

As a long-married woman I can only ask you very seriously to ask yourself this question: Do you think this is a good idea? For most women their wedding is a very special day and much of this involves the pleasure of thinking about it and planning it and rehearsing in your mind in advance. I would have been absolutely gutted if my fiance had made this decision on my behalf and not taken my wishes into account. In fact, I think I would have refused to go through the ceremony. Your fiancee will be deprived of any pleasurable anticipation if you go down this route. If there are only going to be the four of you attending, why not plan the occasion between the four of you so that nobody in your little family is excluded from having their say. You don't have to go all the way to Gretna Green to do this. However small the occasion, it can still be held anywhere, but be VERY sure in your own mind that this is what she wants before going ahead. She may end up just feeling very cheated that she's missed out on all the planning and you would have to be a very perfect male to ensure that you get this big day for her 100% right as she will have imagined it in her own mind. Even if she doesn't want a lot of fuss, being totally excluded from the planning might not prove to be the pleasant surprise she would have liked.
