Hello everyone ?

I'm completely new to this kind of thing. It's been great this afternoon reading through some posts and discovering what everyone talks about. So a little about me...

OH is moving in within the month. We've known each other for nearly 6 years and he's been a very close friend for a long time. Finally, he plucked up the courage and asked me out and now here we are! We aren't officially engaged yet ? (we said we would wait until he moved in) but he cannot wait and has asked me to look at venues and pull together a budget. I couldn't believe he actually asked that - most of my friend's OH have shown no interest in budgeting or searching for venues. Anyway, we have the ring design and waiting to save up enough to buy it (we discovered it was cheaper than buying one from the local stores). So I think this may be a long engagement but I need to start on budget ideas now and thought you lovely ladies (and guys!) could help me along my way. We have a lot of groundwork before we can actually set the date, etc.

Any good suggestions on small venues around the Bucks / Berks / Oxon area? ?

We are looking at a civil ceremony at the same venue as the breakfast and reception - hopefully this will be cheaper than doing it at different locations.

Speak soon,

D ?

P.S. Apologies for crappy spelling - spell checker isn't working ?

    Hi and welcome. Lovely story!

    I'm not local to you so can't help with the venue search but I'm sure there will be something along the way I can help with!

    Thanks everyone. No ideas on dates as yet. Think that I would like to be married next year. OH wants it to be on our anniversary in May (that way I won't forget!) but I think it would be nicer in the autumn and gives us more time to plan. Ho hum...lots to do!

    Hello and Welcome!

    dont worry about time to plan- its more about finances, I think if you speak to the people on here who had lots of time to get organised there was lots of times when things didn't need doing, We're only having 5 months engagement, although my to do list out stretches the rest of the July Brides put together it all feels quite manageable!

    Hello and welcome to Hitched! I'm about to fall off the Hitched conveyor belt soon (next Saturday eek!) and can say they are a lovely bunch here - full of tips and very helpful.

    Dont worry about the length of time to plan - there are some people on here getting married in 2013 and I saw one the other day 2014!

    Congrats on your engagement!
