Help me decide & marriage!

Whilst in France skiing I asked my Better Half to marry me and to my suprise she said yes, so its May 2010 were getting married. So we thought about going abroad and getting married and spending abit of money on it. Anyway my g/friend said "its a shame were spending all this money, we wont be able to go skiing" :cry:!!! Then said "cant we have a cheap wedding and go skiing with the kids in January" :P So we had a family vote and cheap wedding and skiing on the 1st week of January as exams are also an issue.

By January we will have kids of 14,14 and 15 and if were being honest it will probably be our last holiday together for along time, the kids will be on there way wanting to do there own thing.

So mines an age old question do I book early or do I wait? We will have to have an catered chalet as theres 5 of us. Loved France and Meribel for the amount of skiing the kids could experiance. Weird really as this is our last chance as a family to go away together skiing so it has to be special.

Not Bulgaria by the way, as well, i like to ski on snow!

What would you do?

Marry the women in the alps,that way you get your ski holiday/honeymoon.What makes you think the flock are going to fly the nest?If the ski holiday is that good,they'll be wanting next season,even if they have to contribute a sum towards it!Good luck and congratulations.

I agree with micric...get married on a mountain!

My sons are 19, 21 and and 24 and they do, as you would expect, do their own thing. :cry: However, skiing as a family is still very much on the agenda :lol: so I think you may have to wait a bit longer than you expect before you're kids are 'on their way'. :wink:

I have recently seen a dvd of a couple that got married in an ice chapel, some-where in Lapland, looked lovely and so romantic. The honeymoon was their ski holiday. Wish I'd thought of it. Congratulations.

Back to the point, I'd book up now and make sure you get somewhere you really want and guarantee having this fantastic holiday. It wasmy wifes 40th in January, and we could have waited and got a cheaper holiday, but we booked well in advance to get the place we wanted at a good price with the early booking discounts, and had the best ski holiday we have ever had.

Great news on the marriage though, congrats.

I am sure AJ ADele wont mind me posting this thread that shows her in and her hubby on their wedding day on skis. I think its class!
