Welcome to Hitched!

Congratulations on your engagement

Enjoy the planning!

Thanks Congrats on ur engagement and Im not long after yooouuuu!!!

Its all very exciting! Where are you getting married? I am getting married at Burnhouse Manor in Ayrshire, Scotland

Another 2014 bride!! Yay!!! Welcome to hitched. Have you got your date yet? xxx

I sure have 6th June 2014!!

So excited about it when is yours?????

Hxxx

You're the day before me! I'm 7th June 2014. What have you sorted so far? xxx

Aw we have our venue and have started paying it up what about you?! We were going to go for the 7th too but we decided on the 6th because it was £200 cheaper haha

Our venue is Burnhouse Manor in Ayrshire, it's a lovely place, a big house in the country, and it smells like homemade soup - love it! Whats your venue?

Hxx

Welcome and congratulations!! I think there's a lot of that got engaged in December, holiday spirit and all I wouldn't worry about getting swamped, though, I think you're more likely to get everything done super early and then be left twiddling your thumbs, wishing you had something to do. I know that's going to be me from about 1 year out the way I'm going!

Just bask in the loveliness of being engaged, and have a ball at the party!

All we've done so far is book the church, as that was the most important thing to me ?

We've got loads of wedding fayres coming up to look around venues, useful as I've got a shortlist of 5 venues!! I just can't decide!

Just googled your venue and it looks gorgeous!

Aw thanks

yeah the church is v important!!! (or humanist thingy in my case lol) we're getting married in the hotel either outside or in the restaurant (weather dependant!)

i hope you find the perfect venue

Hx

Not gonna lie, I was sold as soon as i found out that theres a jacuzzi with a tv attached in the bridal suite haha

JEALOUS!

Wow!!!! I think I may have to look into that for my venue now!! ?

I know! nevermind dinner and reception!! me and OH will be in the bath watching diagnosis murder and drinking champagne

How did you guys get engaged? any major romantic gestures?

Congratulations and welcome to hitched! ?

Fancy sharing your blog with us?!

No super romantic story here. He stopped me getting out of the car in his parent's driveway before going in for christmas dinner with a "wait, I want to give you your christmas present first," and whipped out a ring. I ruined the moment by saying, "isn't there a question you should be asking?"

Aww that's cute

my blog is heathersgettingmarried.blogspot.com please don't judge it too harshly, it's still a baby and doesnt know right from wrong

hxxx

My OH proposed on 22nd December last year. I got home from work, all the lights were off in the house, apart from 2 candles lit in the hall and the light of the fish tank. When I opened the front door, there were rose petals leading from the front door, through the hall and into the living room, where OH was on bended knee in his best suit ?

Hi, congratulations on your engagement and welcome to Hitched! I'm sure you'll find this place very useful, if not a bit addictive!

Aw Smazzy that sounds AMAZING!!! It's so weird, we have like the exact same wedding timeline haha, I got engaged on 20th December and you're getting married the day after me!

Amazing

Mine wasn't very romantic but it was so perfect because I'm incredibly easy to please ha

Congrats and welcome to hitched.

It's like us and our OH had the same thoughts at the same time! We're obviously linked, haha.

Come on then! Tell us how he did it ?

Congratulations & welcome to Hitched x

Hi and welcome to the wonderful world of Hitched. Congrats on your engagement and happy planning ?

Love your blog Heather. You and Ross sound lovely and you can feel your excitement coming out of my computer screen CONGRATULATIONS!

Hi congratulations on your engagement! I was in a similar posistion to you when I got engaged, booked the weddingquite far in advance and didnt know what to do! The most important thing is to book everything you know you really want - venue, any specific band/DJ, cars etc. Then you know these are guaranteed. The rest shouldnt be rushed - you only get one chance to do the wedding thing so enjoy it! Take lots of time to browse all of the shops and websites, and if you spread things out then you wont have a big lull of nothing to do in the middle!

Well, wee Ross is a wee cutie at my sister's wedding in November he was outside with my dad the whole night chatting away and it transpires he was basically asking if he could marry me then after that he told me (there are no surprises in my relationship haha i have to know everything) and we went and looked at rings etc, we picked it (it's perfect EEEEE ) and when it got delivered i knew fine well what it was so he took it away and got ready cause we were still in jammies, and he put on his suit jacket over his check shirt and asked me in the hall in our wee flat haha, i was literally jumping up and down screaming yes yes yes haha poor guy doesn't know what he's let himself in for!!!

Thanks Ami about my blog I wasn't sure if it was too personal or even if it made any sense haha! Guess I just need somewhere to splash out all my inner squeals of excitement!!

And thank you everyone for the congrats! I seriously think I'm going to love this forum everyone seems lovely!!

Hxxx

Awwww that's so sweet!! My Dad told my OH off for not asking him first! Nevermind!

Ahhhh I'm getting even more excited now! I just can't wait to do more planning and hear about how everyone else is getting on! ?

xxxx

I know it's so fun on here, get to see what other people are doing and I have already gotten some really good ideas already, I just want to jump on it and get it all planned! Was meant to go and try on more dresses tomorrow but I have a hospital appointment so can't was looking forward to it as well!!!

Hxxx

Well at least you've still got plenty of time to look ? I think I'm going to start trying on dresses once I've booked the reception venue, get that booked first! I found when I went to my first wedding fayre that people looked at me funny when I said I hadn't booked the reception yet.

xxxxx

I went to try on dresses at a private owned boutique in my town and they were horrible, she couldn't fit the dress on me, I am a bit heavy aye but there was no need to let me know about it haha, went to Berketex after that and felt like a princess no matter what size I am!!!
