Congratulations and welcome to Hitched. Where are you thinking of/are getting married?

Aww no need to be scared, timid shy whatever, we dont bite - well so long as your not a troll and then they leave a bitter taste!! lol

Hello!

Welcome - prepare to be addicted to Hitched!

I'm not even planning a wedding and I'm still here! (I was, back in 2007/8... i'm not just some wedding stalking weirdo!) - its a very nice place.

Share ideas, frustrations, photos, ask questions, ask for opinions (but be prepared for honest feedback!) ... and enjoy!

YAAAAAAAAY I finally have a date twin!!!! Woohoooooooooo ?

Sorry - I'll calm down now! Welcome to Hitched Emma. It's lovely here and very very addictive! Happy planning xx

Thank you for the lovely replies.

Time for a little longer post, I think.

I'm from St Helens (near Liverpool), but we're getting married in N.Yorkshire - Simonstone Hall, Hawes. We went on our first date around the Waterfall Walk in Ingleton, and Hawes is 17miles from Ingleton (we know the Hawes area pretty well, too). The venue will also allow us to bring our little dog with us, so he can be part of the day. It's only provisionally booked, as we're waiting for our appointment to see the registrar in our area to give our notice (We're away for the first two weeks of October, so it's on the 28th)

I've got my dress already (I do everything haphazardly!), it's being cared for by a friend. We're trying to keep costs down where ever possible and I spent £100 on it. Will post some photos, when I figure out how.

Our colour scheme is based around Autumn - the two bridesmaids in Claret dresses, OH in a claret diamond-pattered waistcoat, claret ruche and hankie, and the supporting men in gold diamond-pattered waistcosts / gold ruche / gold hankies. We're having a little flower girl (OH's niece), and she might be in gold, but I'm not sure, yet.

OH has been measured for his suit and is "in the system" for the hire. A lady I work with is a whiz at cakes and has offered to do our cake for us provided we supply the ingredients. OH works with a professional photographer, so he's doing the photos at a discount. Our "Save the Date" cards are being printed, I wish they'd hurry up!

There's probably more to tell - you might get sick of me!

Ooh hi to you too Sloan-R ?

Congrats! welcome to hitched, I only recently joined myself, everyone is so helpful here x

Hello and welcome!

Wow you are very organised! More so than me and I'm June 2011! Starting to panic a little! ?

*waves* welcome to hitched! I'm pretty new here too, but I'm totally addicted already! Sounds like you have plenty sorted already - far more than me also, and I'm Aug next year. We like flashes, so if you have pics of anything please post!

Hello!!! welcome and congrats xx

Welcome, Emma! (My MOH is called Emma!)

Hope you enjoy the planning and if you want to ask anything you will find that we are all a friendly bunch and very helpful. Always remember the rule: FLASH your preparation (don't worry, we're not pervs LOL; I was wondering myself when I first joined what flashing meant - it just means we like to see pictures, lots of pictures of anything new the others have ordered, bought etc, especially THE DRESS!).

Take care and congratulations on setting the date! xxx

Hi Emma,

Don't be shy, everyone is very nice on here.

You will share the same anniversary as me. I get married 1st October this year.

Good luck with the wedding planning

xx

Hi ? I'm new too but already have found this place sooooo helpful and everyone's been really friendly.

It's great to get other perspectives, ideas, advice, support but mostly I like that everyone is just as excited about weddings as me ?

Welcome! No need to be shy, and we definitely will never get bored of hearing about your planning (which is the beauty of Hitched!). Looking forward to getting to know you and all the new B2Bs xx

Make that a date triplet!! how exiting ?

Helloooo!!!

Hi Emma

Welcome!

5 year engagement! So does this mean your all prepared, or only just started the wedding planning?

Hello,

We never intended the engagement to last so long - everytime we tried to resurrect our plans something got in the way (namely something expensive needed doing in our house) or there was family stuff going on.

But this year we decided that enough was enough and we should just go for it, as we'd keep putting it off and we'd end up never doing it.

My mum would be laughing hysterically at you all thinking I'm organised! We're just starting our planning, and the only reason we've done so much is partly because I'm a bit cheesed off with my job, so coming home to plan Wedding stuff is nice, it's something to look forward to and the second is anything that relies on a third party I want booked / organised well in advance in case something goes wrong, we hopefully have time to fix it.

Yaaaaaaay!!! Happy days. I've been waiting ages for someone to share the day with!!! ?

Hello and welcome to Hitched ? Jx
