Well it may be a good thing not to stretch yourself and give the impression of being a wealthy foreigner to her extended family.... let them know from the outset that the streets of Birmingham are not paved with gold and not all Brits have money to burn.

by the way, welcome to the forum, another Birmingham based couple , cool, you seen Jamie on here yet?

[guyki]

nice one cheers Scott,yeah I have already pointed out that I'm no "Alan Sugar" to them & I felt really bad when she offered that she'll pay for the dinner with her parents and she did say that it's a modest affair and doesnt have to be over the top

Lol Jamie no I havent seen him yet

[stevewool]

start as you both mean to go on , if her parents want to help pay then let them i say

Pre wedding dinner is not a MUST.. you should talk to your fiance regarding that. But if she still insist maybe you can do that but with minimal guests only. There are many restaurants here that offered cheap menus and rates. Let me know what city in the Philippines you are planning to get married and will help you find a restaurant with cheap rates.
