Hi Guys,
@nextmrstaylor raised a great idea about how we should have a post for all the abbreviations we might use on this site - so I thought I'd start it off ...please feel free to add/correct

Wedding related:
B2B - bride to be
BM - bridesmaid and best man?
FG - flower girl
FIL - father in law
MIL - mother in law
HM - honeymoon
MOH - maid of honour

General:
WOW world of warcraft hehe (@hazzy1978, @wilsonsoon2bcollins, @matts_mrs)
BTW by the way
IMO in my opinion
OMG oh my god

@nextmrstaylor I know what you mean, I am 30 but feel a little out of touch. I work in a primary school so sometimes ask the kids! I know what Lol means but did have to google BNWT the other day as I kept seeing it on ebay!

@ourbigday what does BNWT mean? I keep seeing it on here in the market place, i've got a few friends that are fairly young so sometimes have to ask them what they mean when they write in text speak, lol

My problem is with people who miss out vowels in words when sending texts or writing updates. That confuses me more!!

@katie_reeve me too - and irritates me slightly too - showing my age there, not down with the "txt" speak - drives me insane!!
