Hi, I'm new

Welcome along!

Feel free to flash some pictures of your dress and venue!

Hello and welcome!

Ooo ok heres my dress http://www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?style=A3500

And the venue doesnt have a great website it has very few picturess and the ones it does have are not brilliant at all, it's not until you get there and you think "wow" (I went there once for a work thing (before the kids come along) and I loved it there, its so pretty and grand) here it is anyway http://www.oxfordhotelsandinns.com/OurHotels/CoulsdonManorGolfClub

Welcome to Hitched!

First points to note... we like pictures, lots of pictures... and we are honest, if you ask for an opinion, that is exactly what you will get... none of that fluffy nonsense in here!!!

?

31st August - same date as me!

You seen much more organised though! So far I have only booked, church,venue & band....

Dresses is on next months agenda though

oooo a wedding twin yay!! dress shopping was the first thing I done, I couldn't help myself lol

Im desperate to go but wanted to lose a few pounds first (never gonna happen!) So I plan on going the first week in Sept when Ive got a few days off work & can go with my mum ?

I'm also having 4 bridesmaid, who live in glasgow, newcastle, london & portsmouth area so getting their dresses will be fun!?

Tell me about it, I have 6 bridesmaids, well one is more of a flower girl, my daughter (she'll be nearly 2 by the wedding) then I have one girl in hastings, one in Wales, one in Dublin and 2 others in Croydon near me lol!! We clearly like to make things easy for ourselves Where do you live?

I want to lose my baby weight for the wedding so I have bought a dress a size smaller than what I am now but I intend on being another size smaller than that and the shop has told me that it doesn't matter how many times I need my dress taking in the total for alterations will not exceed £180 so at least I know I will have a dress that fits, I just must not put the weight on lol x

I live in Glasgow but I am from a small village near the Isle of Skye but we are getting married in Inverness (my OH is from Glasgow)

I would love to be two dress sizes smaller for my wedding & I am fairly confident I will be as I really dont want to look back on my pictures & regret not losing the weight. Though knowing me I wont start trying properly until after Christmas!

Im very excited about dress shopping & have a fairly good idea of what I want but everyone keeps telling me I will change my mind whenI start trying on dresses!

PS-Im very excited to have a date twin! xx

And me we can share all our planning together!!

Ugh, I know! I dread the thought of losing weight but like you say I don't want to look back at pics and regret it either so I will do it! Itt's mainly the baby berlly I have to get rid of!

oooo what type of dress are you looking for? I knew what I wanted and I eventually got what I wanted, I found other styles suited me that I didnt think would but they just werent me and I was so pleased the dresses I do love suited me also xx

At the moment I am thinking strapless & sparkly, not sure about the skirt, probably A line, but not ruffled, or hitched....

I bet I get something opposite to that though!

Yo ladies i am also a date twin... triplet?! lol and there are a few more 31st august 2013 too- its the date to have!

Nic, your dress and venue look beautiful!

We have booked the church, reception and photographer so need to get cracking on the rest!

Dress 'shopping' on Wednesday with my mum but like you guys want to be a dress size down so think it will be more of a research trip!

Going to crack on with healthy eating and the 30 day shred....it need dusting off from May when i went on hols and never got back to it!!

Oooo another twin!! yay

I lost a stone to be my friends bridesmaid but then let everything slip again so I must start it back up again!! Think how nice my cake will taste if I dont eat any for 13 months lol!!

ooo more dress shopping I'm already missing dress shopping!! I want to go again, I love trying on all the dresses!

Haha yeah me and my fella our having the top layer of our cake to ourselves, so thats a good insentive!!!

I think I will be a bit happier about the dresses after Wednesday just feel quite apprehensive about it for some reason but sure my ma will look after me!!

If you have lost weight before it should be quite easy to do again I would be happy with losing about a stone too- my clothes range from 6 to 14 (which is ridiculous!) so just need to find a happy medium between now and xmas then stick to it!!

I used to be a size 6 when I was 18 but I was far far too skinny, I am very big boned so I honestly looked ill as I had all these huge bones sticking out everywhere! I think a size 10 is what suits me best and thats what I was before I had my son and now I am a size 14 so I am aiming for a size 10 once again and a non jelly belly would be lovely lol!!

I felt like that too, even after about 3 trips to the bridal shops and I still hadnt found my dress I felt upset about it and I did not understand what people were talking about when they found the one but it did happen and now my dress shopping days are over I'm sad lol!! xx

Aww well you can get your fix on here with people showing their dresses!

I was quite similar to you, I am 12/14 atm and would love to be 10 again, 6/8 is too skinny for me too- although i couldn't see it at the time but now when i look back at photos i looked wrong! like you say too boney!

Hello, welcome and congratulations!

Haha, you won't bore us lot! I would be lost without this place to talk and read about weddings. I think my friends would have killed me by now, and I still have over a year to go! I can honestly say that Hitched has saved my life. It also helps as a place to go GAAAAAAAAAGH in private when your BMs/FMIL/HTB etc drives you batty hee hee

I feel I bore my friends as very few of them are married, this place is great, im addicted already!

Hello and welcome!! xx
