We exhibited at our final show of the year yesterday, the last of the season's gay wedding shows. Great fun and quite relaxed - one of our favourite acts of these (or indeed any) shows are The Three Waiters. Pretending to be waiters at your event/wedding they suddenly burst into song, and at the shows they also provide a little entertainment to keep us wide awake.
It was also great that one of our registered couples came along and said hi - Lyn and Deb get hitched in March and had a few things left to find - great news that they'd already decided on their gift list!
On the charity front - lots happening! Suddenly a few we've been asking to come onboard are saying yes so lots of work in letting them know how things work, how we can get them setup on the gift lists, and then finally working on the details ('gifts' etc) that will actually become part of the lists. We're trying to get as many of the new charities sorted by the new year as that's when we tend to get a big increase in next year's marrying couples signing up. Last week however we also had a charity, that we've been talking to for a year that we wanted to try and raise money for through our Scottish gift lists, come back to us and let us know that they weren't going to join up - always a dissapointment after so much work but it just means the door is open for another.

I love it! Only in the online world can you truly experience three degrees of seperation. I am setting up a non-profit web based business for NZ, I live in Australia and while hunting and gathering info on the net, I stumble across your fabulous website and business concept. Good on you Andy, it sounds like it's starting to fly! I saw your comments about the Three Waiters and funny enough one of the founders/owners of the Three Waiters is the father of a little girl in my son's class in Sydney. And I was just talking to her mum about them the other day. And I also saw them in NZ last year (I was the poor sober mug who got dragged up on stage). Anyhow e-mail me if you feel like a chat, my philanthropic journey is just starting, as are the road blocks! www.givingbackgirl.blogspot.com is my very casual blog! Great stuff....Lisa

As a bride-to-be on a tight budget, I recently discovered an online bridal jewelry store called GlamForLess.com.
Though their website is plain and simple, I found some great deals on jewelry sets for me and my bridesmaids.
I think other readers on a tight budget may also find GlamForLess.com to be helpful.
You may want to check them out at http://www.glamforless.com/ and inform other readers about it.
Keep up the good work.
Best regards,
Lisa Bloom
