Four days engaged - let the planning commence!

Congrats & welcome to hitched! We look forward to hearing all your plans & helping out where we can!

Congratulations and welcome! Sounds like a lovely proposal. I haven't had a chance to visit the top of the Shard yet but I bet the view is amazing

Congratulations & welcome! ?

Congratulations!!! You sound as excited as me!! :-P this forum is amazing

Hey Londoner and welcome to Hitched! Congrats on your engagement!

Congrats!!

Hello and welcome. Huge congratulations!

Congrats and welcome!

Yeah Congratulations!

Hi and welcome!

Yes, use Hitched to the max for a good excuse to talk all things weddingy. When I joined I had about a year and 9 months till my wedding date so I've used it to get the wedding talk out my system and not bore H2B (or others) with all the chit-chat.

Where are you thinking of getting married? London (as you got engaged here)?

Congratulations ?

Welcome ?

Hello and welcome!

Congratulations and welcome! Hitched is a great way to get your wedding fix without boring OH or friends!

Happy planning ?

Congrats and Welcome!

Isn't it lovely to be surrounded by other busy brides, I'm sure my friends are bored of talking about it all already.

OOhhhhhh exciting! Welcome!

Hello & welcome to hitched
Sure you'll love it here, I've just recently joined and love the great advice & help from everyone.
And the wedding fix is needed here as I think im boring my family & friends, and even OH to tears with my wedding talk

I'm Amanda, been with my lovely OH for 9 years, have a soon to be 4 year old son & finally getting married next June
Look forward to hearing your plans!

Congratulations and welcome - hope that you enjoy all the planning talk! ?

Congrats on the engagement. I got engaged 8 days ago and have already been scouring the forum as I know i am going to start boring people very soon. Looking forward to hearing/sharing all your plans

Thanks everyone! I think I'm going to like it here

The Shard is lovely, although I didn't really pay the view much attention after he had got down on one knee :p Neither did he because he was so nervous. There was some great meaning behind it though.

I'm not sure where we will get married yet. It's difficult because we live in Hemel in Hertfordshire, where I am from, but he is from Leicester, which is where all his family is.

We will either get married here or pick somewhere in between the two like Northampton.

I got the kibosh on a pale pink colour scheme last night Oh well, I have quite a while yet to convince him!

Hey there,

You are doing great! What type of venue would you love to have?

Pale pink is great. You can also combine it with pale yellow and pale pale green and give it a more playful environment so he will not just see pink around:p hehe!!

All the best and well done so far

Congrats, and welcome to Hitched.

Congratulations!

Hitched is great for when you want to talk weddings and no one else does! Or for flashing ideas that you want to keep as a surprise for your guests but are just desperate to talk about!

I'm a Herts bride although a different part... I'm getting married in st.albans. :-D

It will be hard for you to choose where to get married but the plus side of it is that you will have so much choice if you're not restricted to one area!!

@MariaGeorgiou - We want a civil ceremony so we might try and stick to one place all day. I think I want a marquee or a conservatory looking room. I would love to get married outside but I don't think it's worth the risk because we wont be able to afford to get married in high season.

I love the outside look of stately homes but I wish there was one that was super modern inside instead of traditional.

@Pugsley - I think I have too much choice! I am looking in Herts, Beds, Bucks & Northants in a rough line up the M1 :p I'm looking in St Albans to. Where are you getting married?

Congratulations Becki! Sounds like a lovely proposal - I'm in quite a similar situation to you!

I'm Becky and my fiancé (I'm no where near used to that either lol) proposed on my birthday during a trip to London on 3rd July last week.

He proposed on the Emirates cable car over the Thames and O2 on our way to see Michael Buble.

Enjoy your planning and the big venue hunt!

Im getting married at St.Michael's manor Hotel. I'd really recommend them, our coordinator there, Amanda, has been so lovely and answered any queries really quickly.

My friend is getting married at Priory Barns in Little Wymondly and it looks really nice too (it's a big barn!).

I think it depends on the feel of the wedding you want as well as how many guests. I'm only having 80-100 guests whereas my friend is having 130-150 so we need different venues.
