Posted on Planning 93

I know it's not been too long since one of these was done. But I have been naughty hitcher of late and now I have returned I feel a bit 'out of the loop' with all these newbies. Also it's a little quiet! So ooo la la suggested an intro thread and with her help it's a little different to the others!...

Name: Zippy/Vicki

Age: 29

Starsign: Taurus

Location: Cambridgeshire

Met H2B: August 2007, through a friend & facebook!

Engaged: March 2008 on top of snow covered mountain, Tignes, France

Getting Wed: August 7th 2010

Venue: Church in nearby town, followed by reception in function room of posh village restaurant.

Colour Scheme: Sage green and Ivory

Interesting fact about wedding: We are using our VW camper for the wedding transport and the colour scheme is based around this!

Pet names you and h2b call each other: Nothing special, just yummy man and yummy woman or sometimes sexy lady!!!

Embarrassing/Funny story about you and h2b: The first time my h2b cooked tea for me he forgot I was allergic to tomatoes and put them in my pasta, I tried to be polite and pick them out, but later that night I was throwing up violently in his bathroom. I was so embarrased as it was about the second or third time I had stopped round! Even though I was feeling rough, I wouldnt leave the bathroom till I had cleared up. Trying to find suitable items in a batchelor pad type house is not easy!!

ETA the last fact!

    Name: Chelsea Girl

    Age: 31

    Starsign: Leo

    Location: Wallington

    Met H2B: About 12 yrs ago, my best friend used to go out with his best friend. We've been together nearly 10yrs now.

    Engaged: Sept 08, Piazza Michelangelo overlooking Florence at sunset, a truly lovely surprise

    Getting Wed: 29th May 2010

    Venue: Ham Polo Club

    Interesting fact about wedding: The date was my Nan and Granddad's wedding anniversary

    Pet names you and h2b call each other: Boo, Babe, Princess, Crazy Cat, Smelly Cat

    Embarrassing/Funny story about you and h2b: One story that springs to mind (other than the too embarrassing ones that consist of being drunk, falling over or sick on a train in front of a theatre going family) is when we first got together, we jetted off to Antigua for a dirty week away.... when we got to the hotel we realised my hand luggage bag was missing - he was the one getting everything out of the car. My H2B started to reassure me and told me not to worry as I could buy stuff here including make up etc..... when I told him my contraceptive pills were in there the look of horror that came over his face was so funny, he leapt into action to try and find it. Thankfully we got it back within a day and all was ok!

    just a quickie.. one other occasion was when we went for a night away to a hotel only a few miles away from home and whilst we were in the jacuzzi a woman started talking to us. She obviously thought we werent from the area or even english as she was speaking broken english to me! The thing was so not to embarrass her i played along. She was saying how there are many shops near here for clothes etc... then my H2B gets in and turns round and says oh yes we know, we don't live far! Cue awkward silence and then we all got out, i gave him such a look, he was like 'what did i say?!'

    Name: Emma

    Age: 34

    Starsign: Pisces

    Location: Hertfordshire

    Met H2B: In November 2001 When I was 25 I had just qualified as a teacher and I went on a school trip to an exhibition in Birminghamin and he was there. I thought nice guy but nothing more so we swapped emails and then we emailed and phoned like mad then in the following July I said lets just meet up! he came over and the rest is history as they say.

    Engaged: October last year in Freezing Paris on the steps of the Opera House

    Getting Wed: 7th of August 2010

    Venue: Church and then onto a nice stately home place

    Colour Scheme: not sure but something along: pink and purple

    Interesting fact about wedding: My partner has hardly any family so there will be 6 of his family and about 60 of mine. eek (were not doing bride and groom sides in the church lol)

    Pet names you and h2b call each other: Gorgeous Man and Gorgeous Women

    Embarrassing/Funny story about you and h2b: In the July when he came over I was staying in my parents house who had gone away. I said i would cook us some dinner so i found a pizza and some salad. I served him first and he ate a lot and then suddenly said he actually couldn't eat any more as the pizza still had the plastic base on it and it had melted onto the pizza bottom and the coleslaw was a week out of date and fizzing. How embarrasing. We ended up getting a curry but fizzy coleslaw has been a long running joke since.

    Hey 22Tango and Zippy!

    Yeah....ducks!! The venue is in the middle of a lake and it has ducks and geese wandering around the banks and they walk around the grounds and the decking which the night do patio doors open out onto, so my wedding coordinator at the venue said that it is likely that they will be wandering around at the wedding night do because they are quite tame (just thought....they might end up on some pics)!! And no...they won't be served up with orange sauce or pancakes!!!!

    Age: 22

    Starsign: Sagittarius

    Location: Kent

    Met H2B: June 2005

    Engaged: February 2006 - we didn't hang about! It was completely out of the blue for me though considering how short a time we'd been together and also how young we were (19 and 21!)

    Getting Wed: 25th July 2010

    Venue: A rustic barn-type venue in Kent

    Colour Scheme: Ivory with champagnes, golds with touches of peach and apricot colours - muted oranges basically

    Interesting fact about wedding: Ermm...I'm doing a speech (not that interesting!) and I'm travelling there with my dad in a pure white London cab. Nothing too out of the ordinary there really.

    Pet names you and h2b call each other: Wow this is embarrassing. We call each other Bubby ? and I fully comprehend how nauseating that is. ? Or if we're mucking around we call each other incredibly childish names like Poobum, Smellhead - oh and sometimes I call him Tommy Teapot. No idea why other than his name is Tom. It really winds him up ?. He also calls me Boatrace to annoy me - because it rhymes with Stace. Or sometimes Stacebook....hilarious aren't we!! ?

    Embarrassing/Funny story about you and h2b: On my 19th birthday he whisked me away on a surprise trip to Barcelona, which was amazing. However on the first morning we were in possibly the most compromising situation you can be in (can't even think of a discreet way of putting this really so let's just say heads were in places they aren't normally in! ?) and the maid strolls in, just like that!!! I jumped out of my skin and proceeded to kick Tom in the head pretty hard while I was struggling to cover myself up ?

    Also the most embarrassing moment of my life has been on Tom's parents 25th wedding anniversary. They had a party at theirs and I'd hardly eaten all day, I got absolutely smashed on wine and cocktails and ended up falling asleep in their bathroom. Tom's dad had to knock on the door and check I was okay, and when he didn't get a reply he had to open the door. Well, he found me lying on the floor in just my top and my knickers, next to a pool of vomit - on their cream carpet. What makes this story even worse, which is hard to believe, is that apparently I looked up at him, slurred "Alright?" and gave him a thumbs up!!! Ohhhh the shame. Still haven't lived it down. I cringe when I think of it, although I can't actually remember any of it.

    Delvesje - loved your funny story! ?
