    Hi SassyT, I hope you don't mind but I wanted to ask you a question related to your ME. My OH has ME and, although he was very excited when we got engaged, he is acting like the wedding is going to me a horrible ordeal for him. I understand that it could be very difficult and we have come up with strategies to help him. My question is, what strategies are you going to use and in your opinion, how could I help me OH look forward to it a bit more? Please message me if you don't want to discuss on the thread. It would be so helpful for me to get another sufferers POV as I obv want him to enjoy his wedding day.

    When did you get engaged?

    On Christmas Day. I think it must be common, as the lady showing us around Penshurst Place the other day had gotten engaged the same day!

    When are you getting married?

    We're looking at June 22, 2013, but haven't yet booked a venue, so it's still provisional.

    How old are you?

    27, will have just turned 29 come wedding day!

    What do you do for a living?

    Nothing at the moment. Stressful when budgeting for a wedding, but I graduated with distinction from a masters program in October, and have been looking for work since. If anyone know of any art galleries, museums, or historical buildings hiring in London or Northwest Kent, let me know Smiley smile

    What area of the country do you live?

    I live in Orpington, which is both London and Kent somehow, but I'm from Toronto, Canada and only moved to England 16 months ago!

    How long have you been Hitching?

    Since just shortly after becoming engaged, like most of us, probably.

    Nice to meet you all!
