cool. lol I actually got my dress back during the summer before we were ever officially engaged. Got the rings in November. Got my daughters dress. My mom's found a caterer who also does cakes, and my mom's friend is a photographer. Just need someone to marry us! lol...oh and a date!

Oooh found a really cool place here in Washington that does Christmas crackers & will do wedding themed crackers as well. They will put the basics and you can add stuff. We thought that would be fun for our favours. Im soooo excited!!

Wondering if I can just talk Pjc into coming back with me on Feb 24! lol

Well I am sure he would want to go back with you on the 24th. But that might be a little quick to tie up loose ends!

Very cool about the wedding crackers...is there a website??????

SHARE!

I just got picked on by a friend for writing colour instead of color!

And we have to figure out what'll be the cheapest flight to get him here. I have Delta miles to buy him a ticket from any POE to Indiana, so he can basically just fly wherever's cheapest. Within reason. I suppose I wouldn't make him go to California just to save money.

Have you thought about flying into Cincy? It is a good POE and only about 2 hours from Indianapolis. Add on whatever it would be to get to Bloomington (hour?). I flew into there in December. Delta do a direct flight from Gatwick too.

I got a super deal on Delta and flew out of Cincy to visit him last year. It's only 2.5 hours driving from Bloomington and a really pretty route, so better to just drive there than connect from Indy, imho. I would love to fly him in there, but so far all the late Feb prices I've found for Cincy are really high! And my Delta miles aren't enough to get him an international ticket. \

So far a $410 Air India ticket to JFK is the best we've found.

I think I paid 320 quid for mine ($500 or so). Actually, pretty cheap for mid December. Larry just picked me up from Cincy and we drove to Greencastle. Took about 3 hours.

When Pigu came here this summer I picked him up from O'Hare. That was a good 5 or so hours each way, a lot of that stuck in traffic on the Ryan/Kennedy. It was a long drive on my own, but a fun road trip once I had him in the car.

He just found a good Air India ticket to Chicago, so I could conceivably save my Skymiles and do the road trip again. There's also a Megabus to Indy, but I don't think I would make him do that.

It's gonna be so much better this time! I get to keep him! YAY!

http://www.oldenglishcrackers.com/ You can even send them stuff to put in it. I have a little card that says our names, the wedding date (when we know it), & All you need is love... (I swear I didn't steal it from you!! lol Im a big Beatles fan. I even found a rubber stamp that has it on it.)

I was really insisting Pigu go through JFK for the stamp, for a while.. but I got a promotion and a big raise at my office so it's not that important he have a job anymore. So he's gonna come to Chicago on Air India and connect to Indy. He's buying tickets right now! I can't even believe it. The ticket is refundable except £50 should anything go horribly wrong, but it's for a couple weeks after his interview so probably everything will be fine. Yay.

Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!! I told you, you were next! lol

Pjc still hasn't gotten his packet yet either. Hopefully tomorrow or Saturday (it was supposedly sent yesterday too).

Congratulations!!

Pete got his hotel today for the interview. He's going to go to London then come back to get me on Saturday night (for Sunday morning). He doesn't want to miss the courier if they come Fri or Sat. I guess you can't schedule but you can pay extra to have the paperwork delivered before a certain time of the day... instead of waiting between 9 & 5 all day at the flat. We are hoping he gets it delivered Saturday so that we don't have to go back to his flat and we can just stay in London for Valentines. If not, then I guess we will just spend the 2nd week I am there away. I SOOOO LOVE London! (I think its mainly the memories, as I doubt I would enjoy it as much without Pete with me).

Got my packet 4 this morning in the post

:) :)

February 12th at 10 AM! I guess they didn't lose our papers afterall.

That's brilliant!! Congratulations

Hey man, thanks!

Pigu got his P4 this morning too. It didn't have a payment slip. Did yours? Searching here, it looks like there's been a lot of P4s lately without payment slips. He's going to email embassy, but I suspect they'll tell him to pay day of.

Anyone have experience with paying at the embassy? Do you go through a cashier or pay the officer directly or what?

I bought crackers from this company this past Christmas. They were really high quality, beautifully wrapped. That is such a great idea to have them at your wedding!!!

Blue, I just tried to add you on myspace.

I don't know your last name!! *grin*

Oooo ooooooooooooooooooooo. IF he hasn't already booked, just thought I'd let you know...Craig took Air India last year as it was the cheapest flight..it may have been a one off, but he said the plane was really shabby looking, the service was really #######...they kept making him close the windows, etc (and it wasn't shining on anyone,etc..no reason, really!) I dunno..just had a bad experience. No little screens in front, just some foreign film playing....didn't sound like a nice trip at all! Maybe he will have better luck (if he booked already) and it's not a common thing...dunno. Their customer service was totat ####### too when I tried to call a couple of times...

Congrats to everyone on all the good news in this thread..wowzers!! :) M.
