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: Mel

    Age: 27 (eep - have had birthday since the last time I did one of these)

    Starsign: Cancer

    Location: Newcastle

    Met H2B: At uni. We lived in the same halls and he was the friend of a friend - said friend did actually fancy him at first but somehow we ended up together instead!

    Engaged: 28 February 2009

    Getting Wed: 22 May 2011

    Venue: Linden Hall, near Morpeth

    Colour Scheme: No idea!

    Interesting fact about wedding: It seems like such a long way away! Nothing interesting to report yet.

    Pet names you and h2b call each other: He calls me Shorty sometimes because when we first met he was sure I was taller than him as I always had heels on for nights out, etc - he was over the moon when I went round to his flat and he realised I'm shorter!

    Embarrassing/Funny story about you and h2b: Ok, this is one I only ever tell on the internet because I'm far too embarrassed to tell people face to face: he took me to a hotel by the river to propose, we got to our room and I went to the toilet, he was standing by the huge windows looking at the lovely views waiting for me so that he could pop the question... meanwhile I'd come out of the bathroom and was struck by how large the wardobe was, in fact it was so big I realised I could walk right into it. So while the increasingly nervous Mr Spoon was gearing himself up to asking me to marry him, I was actually hiding in a wardrobe. For AGES.

    Obviously if I had any clue what he was planning then I would have treated the moment with the respect it deserved ?

    Name: DWC/Emma

    Age: 20 (21 in november)

    Starsign: Saggitarrius

    Location: Preston when i'm at my parents' and Lincoln when i'm at uni

    Met H2B: September 2004 through his then girlfriend at school, but got together in february 2007

    Engaged: february 2009 outside lincoln cathedral

    Getting Wed: august 4th 2012 (same as Ooh La La)

    Venue: not sure yet, maybe a country house or marquee?

    Colour Scheme: probably aqua blue and pink with white and bit of other colours thrown in, but it might change yet.

    Interesting fact about wedding: we would really love to have a vintage and little bit shabby chic garden party with afternoon tea and BBQ instead of the 'traditional' meal and evening do.

    Pet names you and h2b call each other: he calls me smidge sometimes and i call him spaniel mostly.

    Embarrassing/Funny story about you and h2b: erm, you could probably see the embarrasin sex stories thread for that! a funny one was when we went on a tram and i exclaimed in delight 'ooh its just like a bus on wheels' and he said very loudly 'you stupid stupid woman' so people thought we were having a marital. (i actually meant 'ooh its like a bus on tracks'. i hadn't been on a tram since i was about 8 and then it was the ancient blackpool ones) there are plenty of others too if you ever want to know anymore.

    Name: Liverbird/Sarah

    Age: 27

    Starsign: Taurus

    Location: Stockport currently but moving to Oxfordshire soonish

    Met H2B: June 1999, through a football chatroom - we're both big fans, different teams and leagues though! We stayed up til sunrise chatting that first night.

    Engaged: March 2007, out for a meal locally for a triple celebration (his birthday and us both having new jobs) - and over dessert he asked if I would like a fourth thing to celebrate and blurted out 'will you marry me?' - I had no idea it was coming, and I'm not sure he did either!

    Getting Wed: 18th June 2011

    Venue: Church in nearby village, followed by reception at village hall.

    Colour Scheme: Midnight/navy blue and hints of dusky pink

    Interesting fact about wedding: Hmm, we're getting married a week short of 12 years to the day we met, does that count? (It would've been on the anniversery if the hall hadn't already been booked for that date!!)

    Pet names you and h2b call each other: Dippy and La La, my sister came up with it and it's kind of stuck now!

    Embarrassing/Funny story about you and h2b: First thing that comes to mind (cos I can never recall these things when put on the spot!) - we were in Edinburgh for the weekend and went out for some food. The tables had little tealights in a shallow bowls on them - nice and romantic you would think, and it probably would've been, except my dopey H2B somehow managed to set his paper menu alight - cue red faces all around, especially as our waiter parked the fire extinguisher next to us for the rest of the evening!!

    Getting Wed: 5th Feb 2011

    Venue: Either Washington Old Hall or Civic Centre, Reception at Fenham Barracks

    Colour Scheme: Chocolate Brown and Baby Pink

    Interesting fact about wedding: Reception at Barracks, so wedding pictures on a tank! Not the most romantic, but selling point for H2B! Plus he pretty much grew up there!

    Pet names you and h2b call each other: he calls me 'gorgeous fiancee', I call him 'wonderful fiance' (thats mainly in texts)...Mummy/Daddy....he calls me cutie!
