Good morning (I want to get to know you)

Good Morning Jo, aka Purple Pixie ?

Im Sally and marrying my best friend on 10 December this year so just a tad over four months to go - eeeek!!!! I met my OH online and cannot wait to become Mrs J. Im an office manager in the financial services industry and really enjoy my job. Got fab bosses (their gift to us for the wedding is our drinks package [sparkly post ceremony, wine with lunch and sparkly for toasts]). Trying desperately to lose weight (as im sure most of us are ? and go to the gym every day (running, spinning, swimming, etc).

Im sure one day Jo, your dream will come true and you will have your own cake business. Good luck with that and good luck with your wedding.

Awww thanks PP! Here he is....

Well hi there!

My name is Laura, Im based in Bristol and i work in Marketing and Events.

I love shoes and handbags and my fave activity is spending time with friends int he pub! I am about to start drum lessons!

I got married in March but im a filthy lurker here now, posting every now and then!

Hola! Claire here, 31 years of age, still a newly wed had the most amazing day just over 2 weeks ago when I wed my fabulous husband, been with him for 9 years but we had a long distant relationship for the first 4 years until I plucked up the courage to move to the Midlands, bought out first house 4 years ago and I can honestly say I have never been happier - no post wedding blues either! We are actively trying for babies so fingers crossed it willl happen sooner rather than later as I cant wait to become a mommy! Erm what else?? I work in Sales and love my job.... I love lamb, tennis and hate liver, motor racing and people who are late! Nice meeting you PP!

Hiya.. I'm KBS, I am an Area Sales Manager and also studying a Counselling Degree (just about to start my 2nd year) and I also work with Virgin Atlantic Flying Without Fear as a Team Leader so pretty knowledgable on giving advice/support to those who are afraid/have phobia of flying..

My OH has his own business in Landscape Gardening and now "branching" out (excuse the pun) into plastering, tiling etc..

I have 3 "adult" sons and 3 beautiful Boxers and I live in a very rural, very pretty area of Lincolnshire.

We are getting married on 4th August 2012 and cannot wait..

Good morning, no, good afternoon purple pixie!

I'm eliz9390, 29 and a teacher. The reason for my user name is that the numbers represent my debit card pin number ?I've been on hitched now for about 6 months. Been a bit of a 'lurker' but now it's the school hols I'm addicted to this site! I really should spend my time more productively i.e. planning and preparing for the new school term (but wedding stuff is much more fun!!) Getting married on 10th Aug 2012.....providing I'm not in jail for murdering my MIL2B by that time!! Been with my other half since school, two children and a dog who is going blind. xxx

We have booked the registry office, reception will be at my families home. We are having fish and chips for the meal and then a big table full of cakes for puds. We are having long tables - kind of street party looking.

I have got my dress, its red and not a 'proper' Wedding dress, but its perfect!

Bridesmaids are in different black and white 50s style dresses with brightly coloured accessories.

We are having a sweetie buffet, lots of bunting and flowers in jam jars on the tables.

Booked the tog, bar hire and furniture hire. We are doing the evening buffet ourselves. My mum is doing our Wedding cake.

OH is going to do the invites soon - Cant believe my ticker starts with 9 months now!

SCARY! (But also very exciting hehe)

Hi PP, no longer morning and I should be working, but not much work is going on here today, everyone's far more interested in the "riot" situation.

I'm 24, h2b is 30, we've been together 4 years and 3 months and will have been together for almost 5 years when we get married in April 2012 ? H2b and I have just bought our first house and we're completing on Friday! ?

I'm basically a management accountant, kind of fell in to the job, I don't hate it but I don't love it, it does pay the bills though. Both h2b and I are in to classic minis (how we met) and skiing.

no top hats.....just the normal tails! OH chose his suit himself and was adamant he wasn't having tails till he tried them on and loved them!!

We're trying to have an elegant and "classy" wedding. I wish we had some quirkiness about the day that would stand out to others but I just can't seem to think of anything that would be suitable and without copying hundreds of people before. Therefore we have decided to stick with simple and concentrate on the day itself without having to fret about all the little extra touches!

Not too much left to do though, just the finer details like the table plan and buying some favours! 3 weeks till 1st dress fitting.

I have a few thingd booked and sorted. my venue having the crowne plaza in liverpool. my dress the first one i tried on fell in love with it and nothing else matched up. bridesmaid dresses - having dessy persian plum. dj and photographer booked. we are still trying to sort out a church to get married in as its a sunday it has proved difficult but if we can not find one we can get married at the venue. H2B found his suit last week after me saying he can pick what he wants but guided him to my choice!! Booked my make and hair yesterday after debating on the price. i also sorted out through this fab site my stationary with sarah jayne ans she is doing my save the dates, invites placecard etc etc. gof the list goes on. how are you getting on?

Hi,

I remember you from a few years ago as I was planning my wedding in 2009. I'm now an old married of over 2 years and I'm a hib designing jewellery and tiaras and love every minute of it. x

No, neither of us is from Australia, just fancied getting away! Would love to move there at some point, but again, timing isn't right at the moment. Would love to change careers after the wedding, but hoping to try for a baby pretty much straight away, so might as well stay somewhere where I'll get decent maternity provisions!

Sal.san - oh yes, I'm trying to lose weight too. 3st 1lb down so far (a lot of that was baby/cake weight), only another 13lbs to go. Not that long until your wedding now. Have you got much left to do?

Doris - that's handy, they'll be able to have joint birthday parties to save money ? Let us know when you hear anything.

DeliciousWitchChild - your wedding sounds amazing. Can I come? ?

LakeGardaBride - oh my word! They are absolutely adorable!

Mrs Bass - good to see another OM who can't drag theirselves away ?

claire_lou52 - and another OM! (just) Good luck with the ttc. The best advice I was ever given is to not stress about it.

KBS - hope your degree's going well. It must be hard work studying and planning at the same time.

eliz9390 - oh the joys of school holidays! You're getting married just 3 weeks after us. How's the planning going?

BustyB - your wedding sounds awesome. No point going for traditional if it's not you ?

hannioli - moving into a new house is so exciting, but knackering ? Hope everything goes through smoothly for you. When's your wedding?

nicnol - classy and elegant sounds beautiful. If you really want something quirky what about just having an unusual cake topper or something?

furture mrs yates - you are very organised, hope you manage to get the church sorted aswell.

lynsys designs - hi ? I've had a nose at your work, you're one very talented lady!

Bates2Be - maternity pay is a must! The little things cost unbelievable amounts of money ?

Good afternoon, I'm getting married on 12th May 2013 so got a bit of a wait. I'm 24, OH is 28. We've been together nearly 4 years, and have pretty much lived together since we met, but got our own flat last summer. We got engaged whilst on holiday in Krakow for both of our birthdays (they're only a day apart) I work in retail, and OH works at the same place as me, but he is a manager. Hope you enjoy it over here on WP!

Nothing wrong with a red dress ?. Mine's red, and not a 'proper' gown - doesn't mean it's any less of a wedding dress. Your dress is GORGEOUS!

Good afternoon to you!

I'm Liverbird, not from Liverpool despite the username - I actually live in Oxfordshire! I'm 29, OH is 37 and we're getting married in a church followed by a village hall reception on 25th August next year, after a 5 year engagement! I actually first joined Hitched in 2007 ? so I recognise your username from a while back! ?

Hi, good afternoon, I'm Steph, I will be 48 and the OH 51 when we get married on 7th July next year, it is the 2nd time round for both of us, and between us we have 4 kids, ranging from 13 - 22, 1 dog and 2 cats.

I'm self employed, working in the wedding business, a job I love! I'm finding Wedding Planning a bit stressful, still to go dress shopping yet!, no wonder i'm stressed, I should be a dab hand as been there done it before!!!.

We are having a Marquee reception, with Afternoon Tea on arrival, followed by a BBQ in the evening, for about 100 guests, 4 Bridesmaids, 4 Ushers, with the Dog being a Bridesmaid/dog too!

I love Hitched and although I don't very often post comments I find the advice given by others very helpful, Thanks

Hello all ?

Am Sarah, getting married 16th June 2012 and having a NYC theme (we got engaged there last October on my birthday), am 36 (cough, 37 this october) and OH is only 33, my toy boy, lol

We have one Son who is 9yrs who is being Mini best-man/pageboy

This is first marriage for both of us, OH is an engineer and I work as a Funeral Arranger...

And at the moment am in a lull along with Flow as have done the big jobs and only have smaller ones left to do, and cant do them until next year..so busy hunting around for BM dresses...

Freckles87 - I looooovvvvee it over here on WP! I would plan weddings every second of every day if I could! ?

Liverbird - I recognise your username too! ? That is one long engagement! All the more time for planning, I'm jealous ?

Poppyseed - I'm so jealous, what exactly do you do? I've only recently started looking at dresses, we've got plenty of time yet. Your wedding sounds fab (and very similar to mine ?)

sarahb3426 - Sounds like you've been super organised too. I'm so jealous - I'm such an organised person so I hate not having time to organise. What are you doing to incorporate your NYC theme?

Afternoon! Nice to meet you,

My user name is my name :-) I am 28 and getting married on 10th Sept 2011 to OH who is 26 but will turn 27 the day before the wedding.

We have been together nearly 3 years and engaged for 2 and 3 quarters. We have lived together for just over 2 years now. We chare our home with 3 guinea pigs (Fatty, Crazy and Liam) I am a PA and Regional Administrator (it's ok for now) and OH is a landscape gardener.

Nice to meet you xxx

I'm E_R, 26 and unofficially engaged. (We're planning our wedding, but he hasn't proposed properly, as he wanted it to be special, which means saving for some bling. i have a feeling we'll be married before we're engaged...) Been with my OH who is 36 for 18 months (today)

We have a 2 month old son, aswell as my son (7) from a previous relationship, and OHs 2 kiddies (7 and 3)

I'm a SAHM and OH works in recruitment. I have an addiction to all things pink and Hello kitty.

Been on Hitched for quite a while, and seen many brides come and go, so really looking forward to getting my chance to walk down the aisle.

Good afternoon, Jo.

I'm Emma and I'm 28, my OH is called Sean and he's 29. Our wedding is on the 1st October 2011 - we picked that date because both OH and I work with computers and the date was kinda binary (011011). We're getting married in North Yorkshire due to family problems and the fact that we simply love the area - I adore waterfalls and we do a lot of walking.

I am a Systems Administrator (I look after a load of computers in other words), I'm a massive ABBA fan and I love photography. OH works as an IT Technician in a large Community College. We've been together since 2004 and we have a little Jack Russell/Lancashire Heeler Cross called Jake.

Aww thanks! I'm so excited about it. It took me months to decide how to have our wedding because i didn't want the sit down dinner and evening buffet. I jumped from idea to idea for months and in the end threw a huge strop so mum and D decided to just decide for me! ha ha. And i'm so pleased they did, its perfect.

So excited!! Yeah, it's going to be a really tiring weekend, but luckily we've got helpers and a couple of weeks overlap, so it shouldn't be too bad ? Really glad to be moving from the area that we're in at the moment as well...we're only up the road from Tottenham...

On a nicer note, the wedding's on 20th April 2012 ? time's going by too fast and I haven't done nearly enough!

Hi, I'm Clair, 31. Getting married 12/12/12 to Phil. We got together in December 2007, so will be 5 years when we get married. I've got 1 daughter (Chloe) who has just turned 14 and she will be my MOH. I work in sales/marketing and really love my job. I have 5 "furbabies" and 3 "reptilebabies", 1 dog, 4 cats, 2 turtles and a bearded dragon, all but 1 are rescues. I love wine, scallops and beautiful shoes.

Hi PP

I dont think i have much left to do (no doubt famous last words). H2B, BM and Ushers to get measured for their outfits, decide on what cupcakes we want, send out day and nite invites. Just little bits and bobs i think. Wow, 3st 1lb off!!! That is fab - BIG pat on the back for you. Well done. Have you got much to do?? Sal xx

Hi PP

I'm Panda & actually answer to that in RL. I marry my RAF Officer from Jersey on 10th September so barely a month to go! I'm originally from Cheltenham but thanks to the RAF we're now living near High Wycombe. We have 2 dalmatians including Poppy, our liver spot who has been to Crufts twice & is hopefully going to have puppies this autumn. I have 11 horses ranging from my little boys shetland pony to my 17 hand dressage horse & our son is just 18 months & absolutely adorable. I'm a stay at home mum with a dog sitting business & I'm also carer to a 21 year old who lives in our annex who has severe ADHD. Our little boy is going to wear a mini RAF uniform at our wedding & our dalmatians are going to be our ring bearers.
