Hitched Awards 2011/2012

Cross posted!!!

Oh that's it, all blame little old me!! ?

Don't go upsetting, wouldn't want any votes to go astray now would we? ?

?

I have another 6 months t redeem myself!!

10 days Pinky! 10 days!

I already nominate Pinky for the most beautiful bride of 2012! Not even sure that will be a category, but if it was you'd get my vote!

The custom is that brides of a particular year are not eligible to be involved in the organisation of the awards for that year.

Believe me, despite this rule, it doesn't take much for people to start querying fairness!!

As JLC said already, 3 of us looked after it last year and it is a lot of work, so I would recommend a minimum of 2 people.

I have a few documents which get passed on from organiser to organiser each year and I'll happily pass them on to whoever is doing the 2012 awards. Organisation tends to start in November - with the categories being announced sometime in November, votes coming in between November-December and the 'awards night' being as late into December as practically possible, so that we can ensure as many winter brides as possible can be included.

Sorry BV I didn't mean to question fairness, I got it all muddled in my head!

Ooh this all sounds very exciting! Can't wait to start voting... In November or whenever it is! ?

More than happy with the organiser choices.

Love the awards, me.

Thank you BV, Tray's sent me a few bits and pieces already but please do email on anything you have - would rather have duplicates than miss something important!!

Organisers this year shall be myself (Nutella), Canary Bride and Kirstabubble.

Do you have an actual awards ceremony? like we all meet up somewhere?

all so exciting... four weddings - eat your heart out!

Yeah, we all meet up at our computers. I'm going for 3 in a row this year! Ha!

In. The. Bag.

You best get your game on then ? You have been far too quiet recently to ever be considered for that award.

Oooh how exciting. And you know, Nutty, Canary and Kirsta I have always thought you were 3 of the most fair, wonderful, humourous and beautiful hitchers around...

? Keep that up for the next 6 months!!!

?

What a schoolboy error having my wedding mid-December, if only I'd know about the awards I would have booked my wedding during the Hitched version of Oscar season! ?

? efficient!

@cookie - I'm towing the line as I don't want to upset any more namby pamby wedding planners. I think I'm on my last warning. If it costs me my award this year then I'm playing up Charlie Bronson stylee.

Me too, Peanut, I'm 29th December so I've got no chance!

Hope it's a night OH is out otherwise he'd slag me rotten for attending an online award ceremony. Probably serves me right for the slagging I give him for playing World of Warcraft...

I had front row seats with my bottle of wine, was a great night

Did anyone get wasted and give an embarrassing acceptance speech?

❤️

I know, 10 days!! Getting really excited now, nerves haven't quite set in yet so I'm still at a happy stage.

Last year it was on a night where I was working so hopefully I can join in a bit more this year!!

Nope not all the crew are getting married this year - I'm a 2013 bride! And I'm happy to help if needed

I agree .. anyone up for organizing 2012 awards..

?

a date will be seleted for the 'ceremony' and you all sit at your computers in your finest dress with your finest Cava. Each of the awards are anounced though special threads.

It does take the whole evening and even though you are sat by yourself in front of a coputer, there is a great virtual atmosphere and it is jolly good fun!

As suggested, see if you can search for old awards threads, they have their own sib forum that stays up for a few months while everyone submits entries and nominates!

Just so you know, I can be bought with wine. Or maybe wedding planning related favours depending on how things go ?

Note to self - buy wine...

I really hope I get first prize this year....

I just hope I get something! *looks around for the judges to bribe with rainbow or chocolate cupcakes*
