    Hi, everyone. I'm an OM (old married) as I got hitched last May but I still have wedding blues and mainly honeymoon blues! I'm sticking around hitched I am a jewellery/tiara designer and I like to help all the planners were possible.

    What date you got engaged: Christmas Day 2006

    Your H2Bs job: It's complicated. Sales/medical/drugs rep and addiction adviser (drugs and alcohol)

    Colour scheme: Didn't really have one...hurt my brain to think too much about colour schemes so went with a blue bm dress and luckily at the last minute H changed the kilts to blue but that wasn't planned. Everything else was natural colours to match me really and to stop my brain hurting!

    Random/interesting fact about you or your wedding: I have hypermobile elbows but that's all! I'm a serial flasher, of the wedding kind you realise, and flash my wedding pics at any given moment and this seems like a perfect excuse www.jbdavies.co.uk/boyle/album3.

    Your wedding date: 22 May 2011 - seems to be getting realistically close now!

    Your wedding venue: A country house hotel in Northumberland

    What date you got engaged: 28 February 2009

    Your job: Museum education officer

    Your H2Bs job: Agricultural consultant

    Colour scheme: We haven't really got one. Aiming for a mid blue for the bridesmaids' dresses but other than that we're trying to avoid things matching too much, just due to personal taste.

    Random/interesting fact about you or your wedding: I'm going to Zambia next Friday for 2 weeks all by myself to work on the Book Bus: www.thebookbus.org . Well obviously I won't be by myself when I get there! But I am going on my own. I've always wanted to travel and Mr Spoon actually made it a condition of our engagement! I wanted to wait a couple of years between getting engaged and getting married and he would only do that if I agreed to do some travelling in the meantime.

    12 diiffy??? wow, I wouldnt have gone to all that bother, lol. Whats the primary colour in the majority of them? Green? Blue? Reds? As kilts are often worn with black or slate grey jackets I would chose something along that range, silvers, greys, black n ivory..... or go for the dominant colour amongst the tartans.

    All the men in my family own different tartan kilts! Ranging from bright reds (my Dad) to darker greens, blues and purples (my brother). All the cousins have different tartans too.

    I'm thinking a darkish purple/aubergine colour might fit with everything?! I want a colour rather than a neutral tone.

    Would it not be easier to hire the bog standard tartain for the wedding party - sod what the guests are wearing, just go with the wedding party. Is your brother not in the same tartan as your father??? Only my hubby wore his kilt, his bestman who doesnt have a tartan wore a black kilt and all the ushers refused to wear kilts so wore their own suits lol so I didnt have to deal with such a headache...and I wasnt going to worry about the other guests wearing their tartans!

    plums and aubergines sound nice however!

    Hello!

    Wedding date: 11th June 2011 (Cant wait!)

    Where: A church in Harrow then on to a barn conversion for wedding breakfast then on to a kind-of-village hall for the evening reception!

    Engaged: He proposed to me on 1st April 2010 (after 12 o'clock!)

    My job: Criminal Solicitor

    His job: Computer Programmer (I think, but it does hurt my head when he explains what he does!)

    Fact: I'm from the North (Wakefield) he's from the South (Harrow) and we live in Camberley (Surrey/Hampshire border!) Not very interesting I'm afraid.
