Hello!!

BHAMBRIDE2B, 3 March, 2010 at 10:19 Posted on Planning 0 11

I thought I should introduce myself properly, Im a newbie to hitched!! Im from Birmingham, We decided just over a week ago to at last tie the knot lol, we have been engaged since 2004 so it was about time hehe well we have had two daughters and moved to and from Ireland in between so there hasn't been much room for weddings.

The date is set for 23rd October 2010 I want a low fuss day so we decided to go for a full civil wedding, breakfast and evening do all at one hotel, numbers are at the moment 90 daytime and 120 evening, I have a wedding dress I purchased a couple of years ago when I was a size 8, hence Im starving on a diet at the moment lol Im a size 12 now fingers crossed I can do it in time. Im having 5 little bridesmaids all under 5 and 2 older adult bridesmaids Ive decided with a butterfly theme and the colours I like are deep purple and silver. Im really excited my nan is over the moon and has decided to buy us the cake which is kind....she's already been shopping for one haha bless her!

Seen there is a debenhams sale on today so Im off there later to check out the flower girl dresses etc, ooohhh Im excited hehe!! Ive already found some great hints and tips on here and Im sure there will be more to come....thanks Smiley smile

    Hello and welcome to hitch. Congratulations on your forthcoming wedding.

    I am an old married but am here as I am helping my brother and future sister in law plan their wedding which is in Cyprus in August. They are also having purple and silver as their colour scheme.

    Hi Im getting married in a Holiday Inn hotel, my dress is a Maggie Sottero "Michelle" I loved it and haven't seen another that I like Im quite tall so it kinda does me justice when it's on, who knows though I could spot something I really like in the run up to the big day and have a change of heart. ahh good luck FunkyDiva ooohhh Cyprus Im sure it will be beautiful, thanks for the welcome everyone Smiley smile xx

    Hello BhamBride and welcome - you've prob seen but there's a weightwatchers part of the forum, where you can chat to other girlies trying to lose weight. And Claire on here is doing a really good job of losing the lbs so ask her for info.

    Hi and welcome. I've just figured out that bhambride2b means birmingham! Gosh i'm thick! ?

    The dress is totally do able. Does it has a corset back? Can you try it on with some help and take some pics to let you know what you really look like in the dress so you can see what you need to do. This may motivate you.
