Newbie - August Wedding!

Hi and welcome,

Sounds like you have everything under control. Just thinking of things I've got organised which you haven't mentioned - cars, readings, vows, dvd, hair accessories and jewellery, shoes and menus.

I'm the 23rd May so 9 weeks on Sat ?.

Any planning pictures you can flash especially dress ones?

Thanks!

cars not needed as we're getting married and reception all in one place, so just gonna take me dads car (dont think i'l be driving tho) think my bridesmaid's boyfriend is driving me and dad, after he has taken mam and bridesmaid over!

I dont think we're having any readings - it comes from the idea that when H2B and myself got engaged we thought 'nice quiet wedding with all friends and family who we see in our day to day lives' it turned out my folks have invited the world! people we never see and most of my mums side, my H2B has never even met yet - so its not as if they will be part of our married life! so now there's gonna be so many people there we just want a quick ceremony as i get nervous!!

haven't picked vows yet, the registrar sent some ideas but i got really emotional when i was reading them!! i keep crying when i hear our songs too! me and dad are walking in to 'cannon in d' and signing register to 'lifehouse-you and me!' - does anyone else seem to cry about everything to do with their wedding?? or have i gone mad!!

oh hair and make up - is in hand but not sorted out as yet, i know how im having my hair but no booked, i have someone in mind,

jewellery i will pick once i've got my tiara, not having a veil, and just want something pretty simple as my dress is quite plain - but lovely! i knew it as soon as i saw it!

good luck for your wedding purrfectgems - not long now!!

Yeah the next 9 weeks is going to fly past.

Ah that is parents for you! ?

I was emotional last week but I seem to have got back to my normal self this week thank goodness.

Thanks for the welcome debs1701!

congrats for getting married on my birthday

? Hiya!

I'm getting married the day after my birthday this year - i thought it would be a good idea and a bit romantic - but then realised i won't be able to see OH on birthday night and next year to celebrate birthday and 1st anniversary will probably be combined for one celebration ? didnt really think it through!!!! nevermind! ?

Hi there,

Aaah Christmas Day!! Thats so cute?

Hi and welcome.

I'm working to a very similar timeframe to you, I got engaged a week after you, and am getting married a week after too, done about the same amount as you so far though, so either we're both doing ok or both behind!

Things you haven't mentioned - DJ/Band, Bridesmaids, erm that's all that needs to be booked this soon.

Hi, welcome to hitched ?

august is a great month to get married.

i might be biaised.

Don't get sucked into that 1 day will do both events...put your foot down girl!, go for 2 nights out and 2 pressies!, start the way you mean to go on ?

Hi

Congratulations, I get married the week before (21st Aug) and now feeling slightly panicked, you are so organised, well done! I decided to make my invites too and erm have only managed to make 7 yep a whole 7 out of 80! ? think i need to get a move on.

Its all so exciting

Good luck with your planning. There are loads of people on here with great ideas that can help you out.

Hiya mrsmartin2b,

i spent forver doing the invitations - a whole weekend - my fingers were killing from folding and cutting! hee hee! then i realised the other day il have to do the place names too aaaagh!!! wish i hadn't bothered! it feels nice to see them in their envelopes ready to be posted - great achievement! really brought out my creative side!

we needed to get the invites done asap as the room we want to get married in only holds 60 people - folks have invited nearly 70 so need to think up a plan if too many people come! ?

we booked our honeymoon on sunday so really getting excited now!

good luck! ?
