**** 2010 List ****

Hi

Well after being adamant I wasn't going looking at dresses, I went to a bridal shop on Tuesday and I have found the most wonderful gorgeous dress which is so flattering and I love it !!! The thing is though I went on my own so I had no other opinions other than the assistant, so I have made an appointment to go to another shop in a couple of weeks to try some more on and I am taking mil to be with me so I will have another opinion, and then after I have been to that shop I am going back to the other shop to see if i still love it as much.

Does that make sense !!!

Well me and H2b went to see our first choice of photographer friday, and completely fell in love with her!

Her photos where amazing!!

We are off to see another one today, but he has alot to do to change our minds as we both felt so comfortable with her.

How is everyone's weekend going?

That does make sense. I went back to try mine on for second time yesterday, and tried another on just to be sure. When I put the one I liked on again, I got exactly the same feeling as the last time but stronger. I felt all emotional, and cried.

We booked our photographer a few months ago and still haven't met him!! H2B was at a wedding he did, so should be ok! I've had a fantastic weekend thanks. As you know I paid a deposit on my dress yesterday. THey are going to order it on Monday but delay delivery for as long as possible. Now I cant stop grinning and looking at the pictures!

Bouncing for any 2010 lurking B2Bs as when you look at page 40 on the next 500 wedding pages there are loads more of us then on the list ?

How is everyone? i get married in just over 18 months now ?

We have booked our photographer!!!!

We met him yesterday and from the first second we felt comfortable and so relaxed with him!! He does everything we want, including the little extras (thank you cards and canvas photo) my parents really liked him as well.

So we have booked him.

Booked an appointment to go and see the florist. Can't believe how everything is falling into place.

Can't believe how quickly the past 3 months have gone!! Roll on the next 22 months LOL

I'm currently perusing dresses though I am going to join a gym to so that I can start to tone up! Still looking at flights but I expect I will be booking them in April next year when the prices will be hiked up to the max!! Ah well! I will be also contacting the wedding planner in April next year, so that will be when it starts getting mad for me!!!

?

Sorry...bouncing again for a few newbies I have seen over the past few days ?

?Hi there. New to the site and to the forums but am also getting married in 2010. 28th August to be exact.

Wanted to ask a question re dresses? I have seen a dress online that I fell in love with ove a year ago when I was looking with a friend. The company no longer sell it but can order it in for me. Do you think it's too soon to order it or do you think it's better to go trawling aroud bridal shops for months looking?

Thanks in advance

Hello Paula!

Welcome!

Your getting married the week after me! Im getting married 22nd!

I know a few people getting married in 2010 and have brought their dresses already!

I haven't even looked at dresses as i want to lose a bit of weight before i even think about that!!

Hi Paula.

I'm the 7th August. The reason I bought my dress so early is because I fell in love with it and it was the only one that made me go wow, even after looking at hundreds of different ones (I work in the bridal industry). If you think it's THE ONE then go for it. Just be sure. I tried some other ones on and went back a second time to make sure, and the one I chose was the only one which made me feel emotional and made me cry when I put it on.

You have been added to the list Paula. Welcome to hitched!!! ?

You can order you dress at anytime - I know zippy has recently ordered hers. What are your other plans with your wedding??

Hi ladies, hope your all well!

Hi Paula,

I get married in April 2010 and I bought my dress 2 weeks ago. I had seen it online months ago and I went to the shop to try it as well as some other dresses to get an idea of the style of dress I liked (as everyone I'd spoke to had told me that there was a good chance that I'd end up with something totally different to what I originally liked) however I didn't, I loved the original dress and bought it that day.

I tried on loads of dresses and styles and none of them compared to the first one! Plus its getting discontinued in December so I would have been gutted if i missed it, I just knew I didn't want to look any more, that was the one.

I know loads of people advised against it, but I know I wont change my mind and Im not the sort of person that will still go into wedding shops to look at dresses, so Im not going to try anything that I'd love more.

You sound like your in a similar position. It might be worth while going to look at other dresses, but if you love it as much as you seem to, I think it will just confirm to you that you want it! I def dont think its to early if you know you want it and you dont want to wait and then miss out! x

Erm....Missdeedee, did I miss your dress piccies or are you being very secretive?

Hi Zippy,

I did post, but not on here, oops sorry!

Heres the post: https://www.hitched.co.uk/Chat/forums/t/57576.aspx

Starstruck kindly gave me better pics thou:

Your dress is lovely, I really like it! So is saracrofts, I remember seeing a post of it before and thinking I'd like something similar!

Hows all the planning ladies? x

Hi Tinkerbelle,

We've booked the venue (married and reception at same place) , booked a DJ, booked our photographer, I've got my dress, O/H has picked a tartan for his kilt, I've bought all the card etc to make our stationery, think thats it so far!

Hows your planning going? I dont think I saw your dress, fancy a re-flash!? x

Oh, we've decided that too, we're going to New York for 5/6 nites and Florida for 9. Well thats the plan anyway. I've never been to America and I really want to go. Plus I dont tan, I burn easily and Im a pain on sunny holidays as I always get prickly heat, so an exotic holiday prob isn't the best for me

Where are you thinking of going?

Oh, thats a pity about the dress photo. Can you describe it? Whats it like? x

That sounds really nice! Will you be able to take pictures when you go for a fitting?

Zippy are you around? Hows the organising going?

Kentishbride, hows my (one day out) date twin!? x

I'm here. Apart from ordering the dress I haven't done anything else. There isn't a lot I can do till after Christmas when we can book the church. or when I have enough spare cash to order the bits to make the invites, and then I might get started on those so I have plenty of time to make them.

Hey Zippy,

I've got all my bits and pieces for the invites. I was also thinking about starting them soon, but I think my OH thinks Im a nutter! Lol! I just like being able to do stuff now so its not like a 6 month dash to do everything and I sicken myself of wedding planning.

Ebay was a god send for my crafty bits, I've got all my stuff for next to nothing!x

Hiya ? we haven't done much recently - venue for ceremony has been booked - we are in process of desperately trying to raise deposit for a reception venue. Due to fonances we cant have the original one we booked and by booking the second it will save us 4 grand - even by losing the deposit - but we know our venue is very popular so hoping that we can put deposit down before someone else nabs the date.

Photographer is done - and my parents offererd to pay for cake, car, dj and flowers so thats a huge bit finacially sorted. I know i sound strange but i really cant see the excitement in getting my dress lol. Its my biggest nightmare having to wear one and was all set to wear a suit til my H2B told my brother he really would love me to wear a dress but is resigned to tha fact i wont. Now i am going to for him - but the last time i wore one was as psrt of my school uniform at about 11yrs lol

Hi,

Oh thats good about the venue saving, I hope you get your deposit in time! If you speak to them, would they maybe agree to take a lower deposit initially to reserve the date and then you could make it up asap? I have no idea if thats something they would do, but if you dont ask! Plus if you explained you were moving to them and wouldn't get your deposit from the other venue.

Thats really nice of you to get a dress now for your H2B! Can you imagine how pleased he'll be!? Shopping might not be as bad as you think? There are so many different styles of dresses, you might be suprised and find something really quickly that you just love! I very very rarely wear a dress or even a skirt and I knew I didn't want a really big dress as it wouldn't be me, just something quite fitted (ish) and I love my dress. I thought I'd feel really foreign in it, but it felt really natural, I could have walked around in it all day!!! x

Ooooh, can I be added please? We're June 2010, although don't have a date as yet, as we're getting married in Santorini ?

? and welcome to hitched - santorini is a popular place to get married it appears - there are loads of hitchers doing this.You may be the first 2010 bride though x

Oooh, thanks! It does seem to very popular, and I'm pleased to hear I'm going to have lots of other Santo brides to chat to! xx
