Getting to know you!

Tina Teaspoon, 26 May, 2010 at 18:16 Posted on Planning 0 73

Hi everyone ? I've been missing for a while, both from Hitched and from planning, as real life got busy for a while and we had agreed to leave the rest of the wedding stuff until nearer the time. But now I'm back! As it's now officially less than a year to go (eeep!) then I really do need to get on and plan a wedding.

Not sure if there are many people still here who will even remember me! I see that Zippy's day is nearly here already, where did all that time go? And GeordieBarbie will be married now (my wedding is a year after hers). Plus I missed Gillsy's wedding ☹️

As I have quite a lot of catching up to do, I thought I would start a good old traditional "tell us about you" thread. I can't really remember any of the usual questions so I will just put in what I think and throw in a few random extras because it's my thread and I can ?

I'll do mine in a sepaarate post so I'm not typing this one forever!

So I want to know...

Name

Age

Tell me about your OH - and how long have you been together?

Wedding date

Where is your wedding?

When and how did you get engaged?

How long will it be between when you first got engaged, and when you get married?

Where are you going on honeymoon?

What are you currently focusing on in your planning?

What do you do when you're NOT planning a wedding?!

Describe how you are currently feeling about your wedding and the planning process in one word.

    Tell me about your OH - and how long have you been together? Mr Spoon and I have been together since October 2001. We met at uni, he was a friend of a friend, and we've been stuck with each other ever since! We moved in together after graduating and now own a lovely house together, along with a cat and 2 rabbits. He is lovely and clever and is also a big child - which is good because so am I!

    Wedding date: 22nd May 2011

    Where is your wedding? Linden Hall in Northumberland. We're having the ceremony and the reception there.

    When and how did you get engaged? In February 2009, Mr Spoon and I were going to see the Kaiser Chiefs. He suggested that we stayed overnight nearby, and was very secretive about where we would be staying - he didn't tell me until we got there! He'd booked us into a lovely hotel on the Quayside in Newcastle. This was in retrospect slightly suspicious as we don't live very far from town, but I just thought he was doing something lovely (which he was, but you know what I mean). Once we were in our beautiful riverside room, he proposed with a gorgeous necklace as he was too nervous to pick a ring on his own. I said yes 9of course) but can't really remember that much about the following 12 hours to be honest as it was all such a shock ?

    How long will it be between when you first got engaged, and when you get married? 2 years and 3 months. We wanted a spring wedding but felt that spring this year was too soon for us to get organised in time.

    Where are you going on honeymoon? Not sure yet. We are thinking about Bali but haven't planned anything yet.

    What are you currently focusing on in your planning? Everything! ? We are currently working out what we need to do and when. Next on the list is to go and give notice so that we can confirm our provisional booking with the registrar.

    What do you do when you're NOT planning a wedding?! At the moment I am mainly planning for a very exciting trip I'm going on in August - I'm going to Zambia to volunteer on on the Book Bus www.bookbus.org.uk I am also a big bookworm, and have been slightly obsessed with knitting since Christmas.

    Describe how you are currently feeling about your wedding and the planning process in one word. Overwhelmed!

    Aww there are some really lovely stories on here Smiley smile

    Name: Hanna

    Age: 23

    Tell me about your OH - and how long have you been together?: He's an amazing person, 90% like me, 10% complete not like me to keep things interesting Smiley smile We started talking February 2007 on a classic mini forum A LOT, he offered me a lift to a Mini Show and sparks just flew. We've been together just over 3 years now, lived together for about 2 and a half.

    Wedding date: Only been engaged a few weeks so yet to decide, but thinking September 2011

    Where is your wedding?: In Kent we think, viewing the venue we want on Monday, so after that I'll be able to confirm when and where Smiley laugh

    When and how did you get engaged?: We got engaged 1st May 2010 at the Mini Show where it all started for us. There's far too much to the story but let me just say it's the sweetest, most romantic and couldn't have been more perfect proposal. It was very original, very him and us. I was in total shock, so much so I burst in to tears (and I'm not even the teary sort!), it took me about a minute to answer him! And it's all on film. He designed the ring and got a custom, hand made ring box for it too!

    How long will it be between when you first got engaged, and when you get married? Umm...it should be a year and 4 months.

    Where are you going on honeymoon? Haven't got a clue, but he's said before he wants to go skiing for a week then a week somewhere like Hawaii! I doubt the skiing will happen but somewhere like Hawaii would be lovely.

    What are you currently focusing on in your planning? Venue, photographer and dj, it's still early days though so not focusing too much on anything apart from the venue.

    What do you do when you're NOT planning a wedding?! I manage the finances and various other things for an area in a bank by day, tinker with our minis, cycle when the weather's nice and just general stuff like see friends!

    Name: Lindsay

    Age: 31

    Tell me about your OH - and how long have you been together? He's my best friend and I can't imagine my life without him in it. We've been together since sixth form (over 13 years) and met whilst we were both working in a department store. He was working in the giftware section and his mate got sick of him going on about me and so he wrapped up some fake flowers in the gift tissue paper and sent them over to my department with a note attached. It was weeks before I found out that his mate sent them on his behalf without him knowing - but by that time I didn't care as I'd fallen for him! ?

    Wedding date: April 2011

    Where is your wedding? A church in a village just outside of Cambridge; followed by a reception at a hotel.

    When and how did you get engaged? We were in a rooftop terrace restaurant overlooking Prague in February and we just got chatting and I asked him if he wanted to get married (we'd been chatting about it for ages so it wasn't a proposal as such) - but he knew it was more than the usual chat when I pulled out a fancy watch he'd had his eye on for ages. I almost fell of my chair when he said - yes with a big grin on his face.

    How long will it be between when you first got engaged, and when you get married? Just over 1 year; we were going to opt for a quick wedding, but really wanted a spring wedding and so opted for April.

    Where are you going on honeymoon? We're hoping to go to China to watch the Formula 1 Grand Prix, followed by Japan and then a week on a beach somewhere (although more realistically, it will probably end up being an all inclusive break on a Greek Island lol)

    What are you currently focusing on in your planning? Buying the dress. I've been looking with my mum for about 3 weeks now - we've got a shortlist of 3 so far ?

    What do you do when you're NOT planning a wedding?! Work full time in an office (trying to refrain from surfing the web for wedding things - he he)

    Yay lots of replies! Hello everyone, there are so many new faces but I feel like I know lots about you all already. It is really nice to read everyone's proposal stories, and to see how you're all getting on with planning.

    I'm hoping I'll be able to contribute more to threads now that I'm actually planning something, so am looking forward to settling back in.

    Hello! Yes, I had the psychic urge ? Actually I did think when I was typing it "Ooh, I'm starting a Zippy thread"!

    It is very scary how quickly the time goes. I was convinced I was going to be engaged forever, lol.
