September 2014 OMs :-)

Aww, so glad you love it. I got some pictures printed (old school!) and it's lovely to look through them, and good to see they're great quality in real life as well as on the computer!

Two firsts for me, I've never been to a winter wedding and I've never been a bridesmaid! I'm really looking forward to it, and I can't wait to see them get married, it's been a long time coming!

I got pictures printed too, some of my friends and family got some great pictures

Ahh how lovely for you

My wedding day was 3 months ago today! *can we reverse to that please*

3 months, wow. Are you loving being married? It was our work Christmas do last night, it was lovely, everyone was asking how we were getting on and talking about us being newly married, i just end up with a huge grin on my face every time I talk about it!

Yes I love being married! Like you, everytime I get asked about married life I smile about it

Bumping up the topic!

According to hitched I have been married for 99 days...wow! Going so quickly

Sad that our other September OMs have faded away. I think beccak would be a serious contender for best photos in the hitched awards this year! I've nominated myself for most of them, why not!

We'll have been married for three months on Saturday I ordered a 54 page album yesterday! Loved being able to put loads of pics into it and wrapped the ones for the family yesterday too, can't wait for them to see them.

Got a gorgeous wife Christmas card yesterday! Love him so much.

I know, it is just you and me in here lately! I've nominated myself for a few too, might as well have!

Thats gone so quick for you too

I've got wrapping to do later for christmas, a lot of my family are getting photos

Ahh thats lovely, we are yet to exchange christmas cards with each other. Doing that on tuesday evening when we both finish work for christmas

I am still here ;-) Going to nominate myself for best cake. Not sure my wedding was particularly jaw dropping to anyone else but we enjoyed it!

Ooh, Helen, your cake is gorgeous! It'll be fun voting for those in Jan. Only 3 more sleeps until Christmas, and only 8 more sleeps till bridesmaid duties for me I picked up my dress this weekend, it really is gorgeous, I just hope I can curb the eating a little over Christmas to make sure it fits!

Hi Helen,

I'll go have a nosy at your cake!

Exciting Mrs Shep! Will you share some pics of the wedding with us?

I'd love to do a mini flash, i'll have to ask if she minds, her dress is incredible! I'll definitely flash myself in my dress though :-)

MrsShep -very jealous of your bridesmaid duties. It must be nice having that to look forward to. I am sure you'll look brilliant. You'll be a pro at weddings now!

Yep, 2 weddings in three months, I reckon I've got this down now! Haha. She and her OH have been together for about 13yrs, so I absolutely can't wait to see them get married! I can't wait to see his face when he sees her. I've got a beautiful strapless full length dress in dark magenta, although nothing could upstage hers!

I am still here lurking. I do get a bit jealous seeing others planning for theirs!

I have been married for over 3 months now - scary stuff! I have had my wife Christmas card & birthday card I also love all the family - son & daughter in law & daughter & son in law - cards!

Hope everyone is well. Starting on the baby making now! x

I loved getting the daughter and son in law and the sister and brother in law, so lovely. Ooh, wow, baby making already! We don't have any plans for babies at the moment but I do say "if we had kids..." every so often, just to introduce the idea.

I'm still lurking too, been married for nearly 4 months now!! Looking forward to my 'wife' Xmas card. Baby making wise I am now 22 weeks pregnant (gone soooo quick from when I was just 6 weeks at the wedding) and we are having a little girl :-)

On a sad note we lost the last of our rats at the weekend so it's going to be a pretty quiet and miserable Xmas :-(

Oh, wow, half way cooked! Time flies. Wife card this Christmas and Mummy next Christmas, how lovely.

Sorry to hear about the rats, I hope you can still enjoy Christmas, have a toast (of something non alcoholic in your case!) to them before dinner x

I'm here! Just got home yesterday from honeymoon which was fantastic (but glad to be home all the same, 3 weeks felt like forever!).

Not feeling in the slightest bit Christmassy as we've missed all the build up. We saw lots of Christmas trees on our travels, but the weather was hot so it didn't feel like Christmas anywhere! Also don't have a single decoration up at home and not sure whether to bother - we usually stay with family all over Christmas but as that involves a 5 hour drive, have decided to spend this one at home together quietly. I really need to do some food shopping too if we want any sort of Christmas dinner - I looked in Sainsburys quickly at lunchtime today and couldn't believe how expensive even a small crown of turkey is having never had to buy any of the food before!! I'm not sure I want turkey that badly...

I've got a To My Husband card for OH but I doubt he'll have got me a Wife one; we're not even bothering with presents having been away and spent so much money! Got a daughter and son-in-law one from my parents which was cute.

According to Hitched, I have been married for 111 days! Just need to get one more work trip at end of January out of the way before I can change my passport into my new name and then I'll feel like I've properly said goodbye to my bachelorette days!

Hope you all have a lovely first Christmas as Mr & Mrs's.

I'm still here, and I've nominated myself in everything lol

but we've been having some difficult times lately so I've been a little quiet. I don't like bringing people down at Christmas!

Eee, beccak, nice to see you back! Did you have an amazing time? Get yourself over to the hitched awards and nominate yourself, especially for best photos.

i'm dreading the first year we have a house big enough to do Christmas, we'll have to save all year just to afford all the food!

Aww, bekkijane, sorry to hear that. Isn't that what we're all here for though, to lend an ear? It was good to see your wedding again in the nominations :-)

Hi ladies

Nice to see you all again!

aww bekkijane hope your ok. As MrsShep said we're all here

Sorry to hear about your rat Crazyratlady but aww how lovely that you are having a girl

Aww thanks both of you. I'm not one for talking about stuff much and things are getting better but I'll try and remember another time! I appreciate the thoughts anyway xx

i've enjoyed flashing my day again!! I'd like to see more of our September brides joining in on the awards. Come on ladies - nominate!!!

Must say that I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at everyone's photos for the awards again. Reminds me how different weddings in just the space of one month can be. I was banned from doing a wedding report by the husband so have to get my post wedding kicks vicariously. Looking forward to seeing a lot of wedding guests over Christmas and 'reliving the day'.

Yes it was utterly amazing and we did so much stuff. Started off in Brisbane where the highlight was definitely a visit to the koala sanctuary where I got to hold one and stroke kangaroos, drove down to Sydney stopping at some beautiful beaches and towns on the way. Fortunately we weren't in Sydney during the siege (missed it by 2 days) but we had to go back afterwards for a connecting flight and saw all the flowers which was sad. We spent 12 days in New Zealand which was a bit like stepping back in time - most places are quiet and don't seem that modernised, but we saw the most beautiful scenery and the weather was record highs and sunny nearly all the time. Finished up with 2 nights in LA - we stayed in Santa Monica which was a nice area but the rest of the city was so spread out we didn't really see a lot. Jetlag didn't help by this stage and I think we were both ready to come home by then! Didn't even see any celebrities (except Gordon Ramsey who got on our plane back home).

Looking forward to doing some Christmas baking tomorrow so the house will at least then smell Christmassy!

Will head over to the Awards and try to find time to upload some photos again. I take it we're not 'allowed' to just post a link to TOG's blog with them all on?

I can't flash my official photos yet as I still do not have them! My photographer did give me a long completion date, but other emergencies also cropped up with his printers! I am still eagerly waiting/dreading!

I also have all of my disposable cameras to do but they are expensive nowadays! I will do 2 a month which will lead us nicely to our 1 year anniversary ?
Think we are in for some shockers there!

I don't think I would have been allowed to if I'd given H the option either! Haha.

Aww, Lucy, I'd be going spare! We haven't got our album yet but we do have our cd, I've used it to make albums for the family, and I did one for us the other day, 54 pages! Haha, very self indulgent but I can't wait to see it.

Ooh, wow Becca, sounds fantastic! H wanted to do that, but we'll have to save it for another time (when life isn't as expensive!) Glad you missed the siege too.

I'm not feeling Christmassy yet either! We're still at work until at least 1 today, and then we'll be going home, having something to eat and collecting up all our pressies etc and doing the (hopefully) 2hr drive to my grandparents. Going to be strange staying in a hotel for Christmas this year.

Sounds a lovely honeymoon beccak!

Have a lovely christmas ladies whatever you are doing. First christmas as married couples will always be a christmas to remember. Exchanging cards with my husband today, hoping for a wife one!! Then off to my sister's for dinner, and tomorrow will be spend with my in laws. Not much travelling involved with us as they live in same town/city as us

Merry Christmas ladies! Hope you all had a lovely first Christmas as Mr and Mrs. x

Hello everyone ? I have been lurking but haven't been able to connect to the internet so readily as we are still between addresses atm. I hope everyone is doing ok & enjoying your first Christmas as Mr & Mrs ? I've enjoyed receiving the cards too, it's my birthday on the 29th so looking forward to my first Wife birthday card on Monday! Still haven't had a honeymoon but what with a lack of a permanent home & Christmas it's not really been at the forefront, hopefully we'll be able to afford some time away next year, we have spoke about going to Northumberland, it's a place we'd love to visit so hopefully will be our belated honeymoon destination next year. On our 3rd Month TTC, currently on 2WW for test? I have tried joining The Mumdrum but it's really quiet in comparison! As I've said I can't get on that often but when I do it doesn't really seem to change from the last time I was on! Has anyone else been on there? What do you think?

I hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas & I hope to catch up with everyone more regularly in the new year.

Wishing everyone the best for a happy new year too xx

(P.S; Not sure what's going on with my ticker I can't suss it out at the mo!)

Aww exciting! TTC - trying to conceive? What does 2 WW mean? Week wait?

I got my wife birthday card onm 21st December - I did have to remind him though!

Hi Mrs Green!

Eee!! Had an incredible day yesterday, it was such a beautiful wedding. I'll ask the bride if she minds whether I do a little flash at some point :-) this is the only photo of me without her in it at the moment, not the best but we all love a flash!

Hope everyone has a good night tonight, 2014 was an incredible year for us, lets hope 2015 is good too!
