OMG 6 months 2 weeks today! anybody else 3rd Sept?

I'm 2nd September and also worrying about how we are going to pay for everything. Every time we book something up and get told that we have to pay the remainder of the cost '4 weeks before the wedding' my OH asks me 'are we going to be very bankrupt?'. Yes, yes we are.

I'm setting up a separate wedding bank account at the weekend so we can see exactly how much we've saved up. Hopefully once I've sold everything I own on ebay there should be enough money in the account to cover everything ?

How's your planning going?

I am the 8th of September,the reality of all the money we will have to pay out (and save) is hitting home.

Ahh hello almost date twin! ? we wanted 2nd Sept but nieces and nephew go back to school that day! ridiculous on a friday!

Yeah we have a seperate savings account for wedding, it keeps going down when we pay for thing lol and then i panic! To make things harder, we are going to South Africa in 3 weeks for H2b best mates wedding which was a good £3k we could have done with! argh. although i know it will be amazing i still think argh!

Planning is not too bad, do you find you have a bit of a lull? we have ordered invites and then not sure cna do much til april and summer really.

So ezxcited though. where are you and where is your wedding? x

We feel your pain skybright!!! its awful to say but does a little bit of you look forward to after the wedding to afford stuff again!

Yeah,defiantly,it will be so nice not to be constantly thinking about wedding stuff as well,i am really looking forward to it but it seems a bit of a funny stage,i feel like i am waiting for time to pass so i can get on with more stuff buit on the other hand time seems to be going to fast money wise lol.

Yes! Is it only that long away! Cripes it crept up! x

I haven't got to the lull just yet because we've only just fully confirmed our photographer and we still have the wedding car to book up. But tbh I'm looking forward to a time when our days off aren't taken up by looking at albums/songlists/photos of different cakes. Will be lovely. we had the same problem with the children in our family going back to school on the 2nd and with several relatives who work in schools, but luckily everyone can come. Weirdly we originally wanted the 3rd but the venue we wanted was already booked for that day.

I'm in Devon and will be getting married locally. Where are you?

Eeek!! Im getting married on the 3rd too! ?

We only very recently set the date though so you all seem so so far ahead of us planning wise.

But yeah starting to feel the little money we have saved slip away, but hey it is dead exciting!!!!

XxX

Sapphire_22 I grew up in Norfolk living in Surrey now but going back to get married - which in itself causes problems with having to travel to and from so much to get everything sorted!

Oh my goodness defintely agree Skybright and blueeyedgirl - we have so much to save in a short space of time and its creeping up so fast hence my post haha!

So much going on aswell one way or another so it will just come so quickly!

Managed to sort bm dresses at weekend and ordered my veil and headpiece and now i dont think i can do much til the summer!

xx

I'm getting married on 3rd September too! We've been putting money aside into a wedding fund since Christmas and hopefully should be on target! Lots still to save though!

I def feel like we're in a bit of a planning lull at the moment - all the big stuff is booked but details don't need sorting til nearer the time

Ooh Suzie85 congrats on setting date then you picked a great date!! ?

hope planning goes well for you! where abouts are you? xx

Kooks thats exactly it, saving saving saving at the moment and everything booked and you kind of want time to go quick so you can do stuff but slow so can save!!!

Ha that is exactly it!! It's all in my head and I want to get cracking on the details. I'm sure the time will fly though and we'll be on here wondering how we're all going to get it done in time!

Probably yep!!! bring it on hey!! this weekend i am painting some frames and chalkboards for signs and table plans so that will keep me going!

Thanks!!! ? It was a v popular date, our registrar has got 13 other weddings on our day!
