hello! new hitcher on the scene! i'm winter, 30, from hants and today there are 100 days until my wedding!!!!
i've spent the past 3 years on a rival forum (sorry girls) but lately it's gotten so quiet over there i'm bored out of my mind! plus i'm a long time stalker of hitched and you all seem like a nice bunch!
so first a bit about me, then a bit about my wedding!
as i say, i'm 30 and from hants, and i have two incredible children! i'm marrying mr winter, who is an electrical engineer at my fathers company. i'm currently retraining as a teacher but before that, i was a party/wedding planner and then a journalist. i've written for national and local news and.....wedding mags! haha
so you'd think i'd be good at this wedding malarkey......but you'd be wrong. i can plan other peoples like a pro, but my own????? not a chance in hell.
i'm down to the little details now but they're proving to be the death of me. particularly as budget is running low (with two children, my uni fees and we're insanely extending the house too!) and being so set in my ways i'm struggling to compromise, so you might get a lot of me asking for help! sorry! i'll try and help others as much as you guys help me, so i'm a useful community member, not just a taker! lol
so; about the wedding!!!
it's feb 8th 2014, at Loseley Park in Surrey!!! ^_^ the ceremony is in the great hall and the reception in the tithe barn- i'll try to flash pics if i can work out how.
maids are in dusk pink long dresses, men in morning suits with champagne waistcoats and dusk cravats. flowers are all roses in various shades of pink. erm......two cakes; one cheese tower to be cut before afternoon tea and one sponge, decorated with cascading roses to be cut before first dance. first dance is nat king cole unforgettable. dress i won't say as mr winter might be cyber stalking.
walking down aisle to harpist playing solveigs song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4gnV0_zfJg
walking back up aisle to mr winters former band no consequence on mp3 song latitudes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2sgMTq6aQ8 (not everyones taste i'm sure and quite the juxtaposition to the entrance song, but it's one of my favourite songs ever ^_^)
signing music to be on harp; bach cello suite no 1 prelude and moonlight sonata (possibly). accessories for me olivier laudus hair comb (flash HOPEFULLY attached) and beaverbrooks necklace from mr winter (was a 30th gift): http://www.beaverbrooks.co.uk/0000683/9ct-Two-Coloured-Gold-Cubic-Zirconia-Collarette-41cm/p
wedding rings from goldsmiths (pics hopefully attached) and engagement ring pic also attached- though my ring is yellow gold not white.
erm.....i think that covers pretty much everything..... ask if it doesn't. anyways- looking forwards to getting to know you all better!
**PICS ALL ADDED BUT ARE HUGE- SO SO SORRY ABOUT THAT **
