That was what I thought too! Cheers. I'll just keep quiet.

thanks! Just might be worth a thought as you have time to bring the wedding forward if you so choose!

Thanks for the advice. Fortunately we live about 200 miles away from our families so they won't be seeing much of them at the end. In fact it might even be a distraction.
