    Very insightful jipus ?

    Hi and Welcome MrsKT!

    I'm March 2012 - about a month before you. What's your centrepiece disaster?

    What have you got done so far and we might be able to fill in some gaps?

    Don't worry - you're very organised!

    Have listed a few things below - you obviously might not be doing/having all of them but might be food for thought:

    Wedding rings

    Cars

    Cake

    Place names, menus, orders of the day

    Veil

    Accessories

    Shoes

    Wedding insurance

    Hair & Make up

    Hello date twin ? Splangford is another 20th April bride to be as well.

    There are a couple of threads on here already about April 2012, there's a few of us about ?

    I'm rubbish, hardly done anything and gotten in to a bit of a rut, can't believe it's only about 8 and a half months to go now >_< I'll hopefully get my wedding mojo back once I've moved in to my new house though!

    So far I've only...

    - Booked venue, paid deposit and first installment

    - Booked photographer, paid deposit

    - Given notice

    - Booked Registrars

    - Got wedding insurance

    Sooooo rubbish!! I need to get a move on...

    That's exactly what I keep thinking, argh!! I am excited, but a bit nervous that I've done so little and time seems to be running away. Things should be better once I've moved house though, I can concentrate more on the wedding then!

    Given notice of our intent to marry, I don't think you have to do that if you're having a church ceremony though.

    I didn't think about wedding insurance at first, but considering how much our wedding is going to cost us, we thought it'd be best to just in case.

    You have to go and register your marriage. If you ask the minister or the person doing your civil ceremony they will explain it. You need to register if you are having a church service although some church services read banns instead
