Horse and Carriage, it's the only luxury I'd want.

He is sweetest person.
He makes me laugh so much, he can even raise a smile or laugh out of me at my worst.

    1. How long have you and your h2b been together?

    2. When did you get engaged?
    April 2013
    3. Are you having a church or civil ceremony?
    Humanist. Technically a civil partnership.
    4. What type of venue are you having?
    A lighthouse!
    5. What dress have you chosen?
    Honey by Trashy Diva in antique white: http://www.trashydiva.com/shop/Honey-Dress-p2557.html
    6. When are you getting married?
    December 19 2013
    7. What is your colour scheme/theme?
    Navy, ivory and yellow. We're embracing the nautique.
    8. What is the most important thing abut the day to you? (apart from marrying the love of your life of course)
    Being able to move forward with our paperwork. Living on the opposite sides of the world is taking a toll on both of us.
    9. What has been your best buy/ best cost cutting idea?
    We've opted to get married on a weekday out of season, which cut our costs in half almost immediately. We're not wearing "bridal" dresses, we're doing our own flowers, we've opted out of everything extraneous so we could spend generously on the things that did matter.
    10. What wouldn't you compromise on?
    The photography and the food. Both had to be excellent.
    11. How many bridesmaids/ groomsmen etc are you having?
    None.
    12. What are you most looking forward too?
    Being able to live in the same country. Just... beyond excited about getting to have a life together.
    13. Have you had nightmare families or understanding ones?
    They've mostly been fine. My family threw a minor tantrum, they've gotten over it. My in-laws are the stuff dreams are made of and I love them wholeheartedly.
    14. Where are you going on honeymoon?
    Hahahaha. A couple of days in my father-in-law's lakehouse next summer? Hiring the best immigration lawyer we could find ate our honeymoon budget (along with my babymaking fund).
    15. What has been your favourite bit of planning so far?
    Honestly? Laughing at things on pinterest. It's gotten to the stage where the word "burlap" sends us into hysterical fits of laughter.
    16. If you could blow your budget what would you blow it on?
    Um. This is hard! Nicer reception venues, maybe? They're nice enough, but not terribly special.
    17. What will you enjoy most about being married?
    Living together. Getting to sleep in the same bed. Being a proper family. Having babies. Cooking dinner together. Everything. All of it.
    18. Name three things you love about your husband to be.
    Wife to be, but we shan't quibble.

    She makes me laugh so hard I ache on a regular basis. We have amazing, interesting conversations. And she's the best big spoon in the world.

    I love that he anchors me though a whirlwind of commitments in a mad life I created for myself and my girls before he came.
    I love how he loves his children, and is such a great StepDad for mine.
    I love having someone to make a coffee for in the mornings and that when I'm half asleep and forget to put the sugar in he still drinks it and doesn't say anything.
    I love how he puts his hand in the small of my back when we walk into a room together (cue little shiver and smile to myself :-D)

    3. Are you having a church or civil ceremony?

    Civil.

    4. What type of venue are you having?
    An old Inn with a Marquee attached (The Inn at Whitewell)

    5. What dress have you chosen?

    LouLou Bridal LB33eF


    6. When are you getting married?

    14th August 2014


    7. What is your colour scheme/theme?

    Sage green and a type of pinky red


    8. What is the most important thing abut the day to you? (apart from marrying the love of your life of course)

    That its relaxed and everyone has a good time.


    9. What has been your best buy/ best cost cutting ideas?

    I think the Loulou dress is a bargain considering it's new, not in the sale and fitted to my size (under 400). I'm hoping to have a very talented friend do the photography. My lovely step-father in law to be is making the cake (he used to be a baker). As the wedding is on a Thursday we've had some good quotes for music/makeup etc and the venue is 500 cheaper.

    10. What wouldn't you compromise on?

    The venue. We absolutely love it.


    11. How many bridesmaids/ groomsmen etc are you having?
    5 adult bridesmaids (I debated this but I want them all involved on the day), a flower girl, best man and four ushers

    12. What are you most looking forward too?
    Being his 'mrs'. Saying 'I do'. Dancing with friends and family.

    13. Have you had nightmare families or understanding ones?

    I'm so lucky in this sense. They are all so lovely and enthusiastic. Off course, we've not long been engaged so there's still time for tears and tantrums!

    14. Where are you going on honeymoon?

    Not decided yet. Considering Croatia.


    15. What has been your favourite bit of planning so far?

    Trying on dresses with my mum and finding Hitched! This is such a great forum and everyone is so helpful and supportive.

    16. If you could blow your budget what would you blow it on?

    Probs the honeymoon.


    17. What will you enjoy most about being married?

    Being his wife rather than 'fiancé'. I hate the word 'fiancé', I feel so pretentious saying it that I usually chicken out and say 'boyfriend' instead. He doesn't feel like a 'boyfriend' anymore though.


    18. Name three things you love about your husband to be.

    He's unbelievably generous and funny. He makes me feel safe and protected. He has a nice bum.

    6. When are you getting married? September 7th 2013

    7. What is your colour scheme/theme? Great British Seaside (we met on a pier and both live near the sea)

    8. What is the most important thing abut the day to you? (apart from marrying the love of your life of course)
    Making sure everyone has a cracking time, good food, great music and seeing close friends I've not seen for a while.

    9. What has been your best buy/ best cost cutting ideas?
    Having amazing and generous friends and family! Having a friend do my hair, sister do my makeup, sister's friend doing nails, brother's band playing at the reception and various lovely people offering to contribute to wedding things (flowers, hotel, etc) in lieu of a wedding gift.
    10. What wouldn't you compromise on?
    The band. Come hell or high water I wanted to have live music at the reception! Initially, we were going to hire my mum's OH's son's (!) band to do it- but they all booked Bestival tickets (*grrrrrr*) for that weekend, so my brother and some of his mates got together and formed a band literally just to play for the wedding. They're actually better than the original band we wanted, and they're free!! ? Just have to pay £110 for the PA / lights, etc.

    11. How many bridesmaids/ groomsmen etc are you having? 2 adult bridesmaids (my sisters) and best man.

    12. What are you most looking forward too? Singing "Rocking in the Free World" with the band, with my new husband (weird) on drums...!

    13. Have you had nightmare families or understanding ones? They've both been great. But then, I knew they would be- my family are so cool. Couple of blips with his side, but only very minor and sorted quickly!

    14. Where are you going on honeymoon? Cayo Levantado in the Dominican Republic. 2 weeks all inclusive. First holiday in living memory. I CAN'T WAIT!

    15. What has been your favourite bit of planning so far? Finding lots of bits to tie in with my quite specific theme and discovering Etsy and Pinterest. Oh, and of course- the seagull sellotape!! (I've bought it- I still have NO IDEA what to do with it!)

    16. If you could blow your budget what would you blow it on? A venue nearer the sea, right on a sandy beach, maybe in Cornwall or somewhere. Plus much more food / booze. And getting OH the most amazing suit; we're on a budget- all the ones he likes are £800+ and he only has about £400 to spend.

    17. What will you enjoy most about being married? I don't really think it'll change anything; we've been together SO long anyway! It might take a while to get used to being a 'wife' (I'm a bit of a feminist and thought I'd never get married!).

    18. Name three things you love about your husband to be.

    He's very clever (more so than he lets on sometimes, which is infuriating), quick-witted and just so laid back it's unbelievable.
    Also, he respects and likes the fact that I'm a full on tomboy and he doesn't ever pressure me to be more 'girly' or feminine, which is great because we genuinely are like best mates; watch football, play Xbox, drink beer, fart together, etc.
