    Something interesting or different about your wedding - erm, I really dont know, was called a bridezilla by the OH as I asked the venue to provide jugs of water with slices of lime in and not lemon as I just wanted the green to tie in with our theme ha. Trying to keep things simple and traditional I guess is different to some who are having beautiful things for the WOW factor.

    Name - Amethyst

    Age - 32

    Location - North London

    Occupation - Marketing - specifically proposition development but I am so over that and would like to do something more creative. I'm a bit scared of making the change so seeing a career coach to talk me into it.

    Children - Zilch. One gorgeous & funny goddaughter.

    Pets - Again zilch - against the flat rules!

    Wedding Date - 2.10.10

    Colour Scheme - Spurs Blue. Though I'll be in cream. Maybe some peacock blue for good measure. Silver things too. And greenery flower wise!

    How did you meet your OH? - In real life in an indie night club in London on Paddy's night. I'd been on an all day pub crawl and he'd been drinking cocktails and not singing karaoke in Lucky Voice. He waived lilies at me as we danced (sort of) to Morrissey. We already knew each other on the internet though through a type of gaming forum.

    Something interesting or different about your wedding - Erm .... nothing too exciting planned yet.... I'm going to wear blue shoes, I don't want to be given away, we are thinking of having limoncello shots after the meal, I want an American style cake with frosting as opposed to flat, hard type icing....
