it seems like there have been a number of new hitchers join and post on the forum in the last few days (or maybe it's just me). but as a relative newbie myself, it would be good to know a little about those joining us, and all others who ride in the good ship Hitched. so how about a few...

It seems like there have been a number of new hitchers join and post on the forum in the last few days (or maybe it's just me). but as a relative newbie myself, it would be good to know a little about those joining us, and all others who ride in the good ship Hitched. so how about a few introductions everyone? Happy to start!

Name: bluewater

Location: Kent

Date of wedding: 1st Aug 09 at a lovely hotel in Kent

Colour scheme: not decided - bit of a sore point - h2b hasn't decided which bloomin' tartan he is wearing! probably hot pink with an equally loud colour in there somewhere.

Any kids? No, h2b is enough at the moment.

Length of time with h2b when you get married: 7 years. Not quite the ten he was hoping for.

Best tip picked up from hitched so far: take deodorant but forget your dignity when dress shopping.

Interesting fact about yourself: i lived in paris for a year which is where i met h2b.

OK, you go! ?
