Emma Charlotte, 24 October, 2010 at 19:04 Posted on Planning 0 21

Hi girls!

Not entirely sure how this works but here goes!

I'm Emma, I'm from Scotland but am currently living in Portugal Smiley smile I'm engaged to the most gorgeous, smiley, happy person I know who goes by the name of Chris! He proposed on the 5th of June this year after 2 1/2 years together. Obviously I said yes!

We hope to hold a small ceremony outdoors on the Isle of Skye on the 31st July 2012 followed by a fun filled party (reception) on the mainland in Glenelg - My hometown.

Absolutely loving all the planning. Chris is letting me do most of it on the condition he chooses the cake!

Please feel free to add me as a friend etc.. I'd love to hear how everyones planning is going and hopefully pick up tips along the way!

Emma x

    Hi emma, congratulations on the engagement. The ceremony sounds lovely.

    I'm not sure that the ratings mean anything but I gave you a 5 to boost it to an overall 3 :-)

    ICE? WOW! Thats crazy, we're coming back for 2 weeks at the beginning of December I'm dreading it, there's never going to be enough room in my hand luggage for all the jumpers I'll need! x

    Haha this is starting to sound like something out of an AA meeting, Hi I'm ... and I'm addicted LOL Smiley smile

    Thanks PurrfectGems - Your making our trip home sound better by the minute! Im gonna have to invest in some woolies I think!

    Can I ask how you put a photo/pic on here?

    So far our planning's going OK. We originally wanted to go to the Maldives and have a small ceremony but then found out that wouldn't be legally binding as its a muslim country so that got blown out of the water!

    Now we've settled on the Isle of Skye as its just as beautiful there and we're meeting with a few hotel managers to see about using their grounds when we're back in the UK next month. Also going to try and sort out the chef for the reception and book the reception venue whilst we're home.

    I have made invitations myself although am constantly playing around with them.

    I have found the dress of my dreams and I hope to get the money together over the next couple of months to order it. Its a Mia Solano M7010L. I LOVE IT!

    We have our photographer sorted too which is nice as I have know her since school, she's amazing at what she does and is going to take natural shots throughout the day. Also she doesn't come with the £1000+ price tag I have seen other photographers charge, HUGE bonus.

    Bridesmaids & best man are sorted. I kind of have my theme picked - Going with natural colours, safari green, latte, burnt orange... Not completely settled on exact colours but I have a rough idea!

    We still have almost 2 years till the big day though so I think we're doing OK, we dont have huge amounts to spend so we're just paying for things as we go Smiley smile Once all the biggies are booked we can see what we have left for extras... Thats the plan anyway!
