Introduction...

alx647, 11 October, 2012 at 11:07 Posted on Planning 0 9

Hey,
I've been perusing this site for a bit but thought it time to say hello ?

We're getting married next year but it's a bit of an odd one as we both live abroad temporarily & are not moving back until a month before the date. Fortunately I have a super organised mother & CBM who are doing a lot of the running around and many conversations via email. Mother's loving it and my non-creative self would pretty much be in the way anyway. Of late a few things have been brought up like cars (was thinking of just getting a taxi tbh) etc which I did not even think about.

Just wondered if you ladies had any advice and bits not to miss?

Thank you

    Hi and welcome to Hitched ?

    I would say don't sweat the small stuff, and if you are genuinely quite happy for your mum and CBM to arrange most things then just go with it and enjoy ?

    Hi and welcome.

    How great are your mum and CBM. Do you have any pictures of anything you can show us?

    Hi Alx,

    I'm in a similar situation to you as my H2B and I are both abroad at the moment; he won't come home to the UK until days before the wedding but I will visit the UK for December.

    I chose my dress and explored venues whilst I was still in the UK as really didn't want to miss out on those but other than that I do a lot of online searching and order things like our favours to my mother's address in the UK, that way I don't miss out!!

    Welcome to Hitched and happy planning!

    Welcome to Hitched!

    I would have a think about your budget and numbers first then start thinking about what is most important to you (photography, venue, food etc...)

    Have the venue sorted as it's close to home, a nice location and good for the older generation.
    Having no more than 60 people at it. We've been living abroad for 3 years so a lot of our friends our out here.

    Dress is Mori Less 6727 as long as it fits me, fitting will be less than a month before the wedding. Fortunately CBM's mum is a fabulous dress maker so if it's massively tits up then I'm sure it can be sorted. She's also making CMB's dress and flower girl's dress (CBM's daughter)

    Colour scheme is Teal with orangy bits. Going for a bit of a beach theme as we're both diving instructors.

    I love a beach theme! I would have loved that myself but reception is in the garden 80 miles from the sea. There are lovely details on the wedding of my dreams site. Also try wedding mall. You can pick these things online yourself. You may want to get special presents for your mum and cbm.

    Thanks guys!

    Yeah have been checking out the internet lots. Don't want to go too OTT with the beach theme as yes, we are no where near a beach, but still. Will have a gander at those sites too thank you.

    Have been thinking about the special present thing: any thoughts?
