So we move on from there....

After weeks of procastinating we finally have a weekend free on which we settle on doing something wedding related.  So Mat sits at his netbook and I'm on the computer, we first settle on a date for the enagement party which we're hosting alongside my sisters leaving party (they're abandoning me to go travelling round the world for six months).  Finding a venue for this is proving diffficult but resolve on sorting this at a later date.  

Next up is emailing licensed venues in the Dorset area, as we want to host a party in my dads show field we'd prefer the venue within a close distance of there.  Since emailing these places I've had only a few replies, many of which saying they only hire their venue for 'whole weddings' the others we arrange to visit.
