From the About section - This page is set up to help those who are planning a wedding on a budget. Closed group so if none of your friends are group members, no one you know will see you enquiring about ideas or items!
I had my own wedding in August 2018 and noticed that a lot of the items I had after the day were of no use to me any more and people were going out spending big money on these items to only use for one day also! Here you can buy or sell your items and maybe some day you could sell them on again for someone else to have the joy of using on their big day.
