Guys after talking to skinner I thought this might be the best way to find a solution to my problem.
I surprised my now fiancé on holiday recently with a lovely engagement ring.
She was over the moon as I was!
We could never afford the perfect wedding and she doesn't think we can afford an engagement party! Well we can't but I'm doing what I can!
I hopefully have venue sorted , free dj, buffet sorted etc, but to make this really special and I was hoping a pher could help. As we can't afford the flash wedding etc I'd like if possible for Katie to be picked up and taken to the venue. Both in kettering. The idea is on the day of party she'll receive an invite and a dress for the party I know she's had her eye on. And then have a car pick her up! In return, I can do pc repairs, web design, invite to party and a drink at the bar! Lol cheers guys for your time I'm open to suggestions I'm just trying to be romantic with the recession still looming!

I love that programme!

I might be able to make it in the Diablo depending on time/weather etc. A friend (F430) and I are looking to use the cars for weddings in the next few months so this'd possibly be a good trial run.

Haughton that would be great! There will be a few petrol heads here too but if you can get some business cards done I'd gladly leave them on tables, I'm doing a thank you collection on cards on tables of people who have helped. Do you want to drop me a msg with your details?

If the Diablo or the F430 can't make it I can offer you my silver Ferrari 360. I don't mind driving it in the rain if that helps... smile
