8 Weeks to go - FLASH!

Vixy1987, 4 April, 2016 at 17:31 Posted on Planning 0 11

Hi All,

So I've been on here a while and not really done a flash so I thought I would join in with these and give you an overview of the day! It's only 8 weeks away now and I can't quite believe it.

Some background on us.....We met when we were 16/17 in 2204 and dated for a short while but it just didn't work so went our separate ways but stayed really close friends. We both had other partners in this time and I moved away to Brighton Uni while he stayed at home. We spoke often and met up whenever I was home to catch up, it never occurred to us to think of each other as anything else. Then in 2009 I was fed up and wanted to move back home, I basically up and left my live in Brighton to come home (which wasn't easy) but all this time he supported me and we just got closer. Finally, after months are just seeing each other every other day and talking every day we decided to make a go of it and haven;t looked back. We aren't a corny couple but he is honestly my best friend and soul mate. I've had a few rubbish years with losing my Dad but he has been my rock, it seems silly now that we both didn't really ever think of each other in that way before but I am a true believer in everything happening for a reason.

Anyway, we had discussed marriage but it wasn't really on the radar...turns out it was a red herring and he was plotting the proposal, which happened Christmas Day 2014 - 5 years after getting together. I actually went into shock but good shock!

Now onto the wedding details...sorry it's going to go on a bit!

We are having a church wedding at a local village church, somewhere I went to school:

    Your dress is gorgeous, and I love that your venue is a total blank slate for you to add all your personal touches, like the board game theme! Fab!x

    Putting it all down on here makes me realise how it's all come together!

    Oooh wow! It's all so beautiful!!

    It seems we have similar stories, my OH and I met when we were at school, I was 16, he was 18, in 2004 as well. I went away to Uni and he stayed home, we'd take it in turns to make the journey to see the other. He lost his Mum in 2010 and my after a horrible few years, my parents divorced in 2013, we have grown closer through those horrible times. He then proposed on Christmas Day 2014 after we'd bought our first house earlier in the year. Main difference is, we've been together all that time and we celebrate our 12th anniversary tomorrow.
