Good morning (I want to get to know you)

Posted on Planning 115

Gosh, that title sounds a bit stalkerish ? Good morning everyone, hope you're all well today. Even though I've been on Hitched for erm, 11 years now, I don't feel like I really know anybody over here on WP. I've made lots of good friends on OT and BT but being relatively new back on to the planning...

Gosh, that title sounds a bit stalkerish ?

Good morning everyone, hope you're all well today. Even though I've been on Hitched for erm, 11 years now, I don't feel like I really know anybody over here on WP. I've made lots of good friends on OT and BT but being relatively new back on to the planning scene I haven't had chance to get to know you lovely ladies (and the occasional gent).

So, would anybody like to be my friend? ? If you fancy saying good morning that would be lovely. If you fancy telling me a bit about yourself that would be even better - helps a little bit to put a character to a user name if you know what I mean.

I'm Jo, getting married in July next year (my 2nd wedding) and I have two gorgeous sons. My eldest is 5 and the youngest was 1 in June. I work in a college in a job I love but I'm dreaming of getting my cake business up and running officially so I have an excuse never to leave Hitched ?

    Good afternoon & nice to meet you PP.

    Me and my OH are 25 and will be tieing the knot in July 2012. (Wishing it was sooner).

    He popped the question in our favourite place in May 2010.

    Wedding planning is the scariest thing I have ever done, and I am definitly not a natural, so thank god for Hitched and the Hitchers!

    We have known eachother since we were 12, and I feel like I will be marrying my best friend as we have so much in common and ever day is a laugh.

    We live in a little cottage where we both grew up, and have a little black cat, and a goldfish. I am just getting the hang of gardening, and very proud to have managed to keep a few things alive so far this year.

    I am mostly looking forward to our honeymoon.

    We live in Manchester but my OH is Irish and I am from the Isle of Man, although based on the last few days we might move away from the city!

    Hi Jo

    We got married in Cyprus 4 years ago. The best thing we ever did. Some people say it doesn't change your relationship but it did ours and it gets better everyday. I have been Filming weddings for nearly 6 years and love it. It's hard work work for yourself and there is is always a lot to do but it's much more rewarding than working for someone else. Go for it! If you need any one to sample your creations them I'm up for it. I recently had a cupcake at a wedding that looked amazing but tasted horrible. Good Luck!

    Hello,

    I'm Caralyn, marrying Jez on 15th March on Zanzibar. Wedding reception is 28th April in a lovely old barn. Second time around for me, and refusing to get stressed or bridezilla-ish this time. Our wedding planners abroad are organising most of the day - we just need to meet the priest 2 days before the ceremony to sort out details. All other plans are rather haphazard, but I'm sure it will all work out OK eventually!

    Despite what you may think, my name isn't Alan, it's Kate.

    I'm 28 and getting married next Feb.

    I like white flowers and Champagne (although in real life it's cava more often than not)

    I work in events so think I know it all but am starting to realise that weddings are a different beast to conferences.

    Wedding planning has taught me....how to use Excel spreadsheets, how to tell people what they don't want to hear, how to save money badly, how to sneak new clothes into my wardrobe without my man noticing, that I don't have a favourite colour.

    Hi

    I'm Natalie, 31 and married to my darling hubby for 6 years now and we have a 3yo boy. I have my own Wedding Stationery business. No suprises there hehe

    I also work for BT as a technical project manager producing some high profile ecommerce sites for clients. I'm desperate to take the big leap and go full time with the stationery but too many debts aren't making it possible yet!

    Gosh! So many replies! ? Sorry I haven't replied sooner but the last couple of days have been a bit hectic. Please don't think I'm being ignorant if I don't reply to you personally, there are so many of you to say hello to and so much work I really ought to be doing!

    dion - so close now, are you getting excited?

    fruitbat - my OH is also called Sean and is 29, have you stolen my man? ?

    hannioli - I hope you didn't have to deal with anything caused by those ******** rioters

    sal.san - thanks, it's taken a while and lots of stubbornness but it's so worth it. I've still got tons left to do thanks to other things always seeming to take priority ?

    panda - it sounds like you've got your hands full but that's a great job you're doing

    sammyjean - OMG! that is so soon!! Are you getting excited? Have you got anything left to do? Are your children excited/getting involved?

    moonpie1985 - I'm just the opposite, I love planning. Like you say, Hitched is a great place for advice. What date in July is your wedding? Ours is the 21st.

    thor1 - another one whose wedding is almost upon us! I don't envy you the logistics of yours but it sounds like you're doing a fab job. Have you got much left to do?

    DreamWeddingVideo - I may well take you up on your cake tasting offer at some point - I'd love to know how they survive in the post

    finallyabride2be - next week!!! Are you ready? Are your children excited?

    KatyP - oh yes, weddings take event planning to a whole different level, especially if you're the bride aswell!

    Hello Suzie and SaSaSi ?

    Luna_12 - definitely no need to feel ashamed! I first came on in 1998 when I first got engaged, stayed over on OT until I got engaged again in 2000, then back to OT until I got engaged again in 2002 (and got married in 2003!). Now I'm back again - now if anybody's going to feel ashamed it should be me ?
