I've been thinking about doing this for a while - I don't know whether there's another one somewhere but I thought it might be nice to have a mass introduction style thread. As people tend to introduce themselves once when they first join I thought it might be good to get to know a bit more about people where newcomers might have missed introductions etc or just missed posts and updates etc. I've started some qs below - some stolen from other threads where I thought they were good questions - feel free to answer as few or as many as you like or add some questions too. I've probably chosen rubbish questions so feel free to add better ones and I'll update my original post! OMs - feel free to join in too - it would be great to hear more about you and your day for us newer hitchers!
Month&year of wedding: May 2014
A little bit about you & your OH: We have been together for six and a half years – we’re very silly and have lots of fun together. We got engaged in January this year and have been planning the wedding ever since.
What made you join hitched? I’m very disorganised and indecisive and saw how much help other people were getting on here so thought I’d join in. I’ve gleaned loads of useful information so far and am really enjoying reading other people’s plans and getting to know people through here.
Why did you choose your username? Because I was stuck and it’s a song! Thinking of changing at a some point.
Five words to sum up your wedding: Full of things we like!
What are you looking forward to most about your wedding day? (Favourite part of the day for Oms): I’m most looking forward to the ceremony - the bit where we’re officially husband and wife. And then partying!
What’s your favourite purchase (so far)? All my brooches for my brooch bouquet – it’s been really fun hunting them down on ebay and at bootfairs etc and I’ve found some really lovely ones.
What made you choose your venue? We really wanted a barn and if possible somewhere that was exclusive to us and our venue had both. Also, because it’s not a huge wedding, we didn’t want somewhere where are numbers looked really small and our venue is quite cosy so it’s perfect! Everyone seemed lovely too.
What made you choose your dress?: It gave me an lovely shape – I didn’t think that was possible! And I really liked the cap sleeves – I hadn’t seen many lace dresses in prices range and hadn’t spotted any with sleeves like that so I was sold.
Song choices? (first dance/walking down the aisle etc): I haven’t chosen yet but interested to hear everyone elses!
Best Bargain (so far): It was my £7.80 shoes but I’ve since discovered they don’t go with my dress so I’m back to the drawing board for shoes and bargains!
Anything you've made for the wedding that you're most proud of? Not yet! But I hope there will be soon! We're making invites/the bouquet/table decorations etc so hopefully there will be lots of things in the future for flashes!
