Hi all!

We met on Facebook through one of their applications, I rejected his 1st offer of a date but he sweet talked me round so finally met after spending months talking online and on the phone, and have never looked back!!

I'm Niki and I'm 26. I am a full-time Mum at the moment but looking to start my career in web-design in the coming months!

I've been with my blokey person for 4 years and 3 months and we have been engaged for just under 3 years. We conceived our little girl the night that he proposed to me, and we found out a couple of months later which was a shock but we were absolutely over the moon! So we put wedding plans on hold and about 2 months before her 1st Birthday we set the date! She's just turned 2 now and we're only 3 weeks and 5 days away from our BIG DAY!

Our wedding is intimate but classy and romantic, it's a garden wedding in a hotel, with a BBQ after and some live music on the patio. I am well into the swing of the whole wedding thing now as we only have a few little bits and pieces to tie up and we are sorted and done!

I live in Wiltshire, I love Dim Sum, I'm a perfectionist and a bit of a neat-freak. My favourite type of alcohol is peach schnapps and my favourite dessert is banoffee pie! My favourite hot drink is vanilla latte.

I can be really socially awkward.

I don't know what else to say.

OH Niki

Peach schnapps and banofee pie! Think me and u would get on just fine!

I'm 26 (27 tomorrow, eek!) and OH is 26 too but a few months younger. We met *cough*ontheinternet*cough* on a forum we both used to moderate, but got together at a meet-up for that forum 4 years ago. I'm a junior doctor and he's an economist specialising in public policy - I have no idea what that really means!

We're both big foodies, though he has been doing it longer than me. He proposed last October after he'd taken me for lunch at a 3 Michelin-starred restaurant in Spain, and completely took me by surprise! He had Hodgkin's lymphoma last year so although loads of my friends had been asking when he was going to pop the question, I rather thought we had more important things to deal with - turns out that planning the proposal was one of the things getting him through chemo!

Our wedding is going to be an afternoon tea in his old college at Oxford; I'm massively excited and for once he's the one trying to be sensible with money while I'm tempted to splash out on everything!

My name's elenid im 31 - been with oh3 yrs - i work two jobs- one with kids and the other in a biig chain of pub im also carer to my oh who suffered a brain stem bleed last yr which resulted in a stroke- and am looking forwards to nov4th then i can de-stress from wedding plans- i love my cat oscar/rose wine and giant buttons ?

I am 23, OH is 29. I have been with my OH since 2006. We have lived together since 2007.

We got in engaged in NYC, (Central Park on a horse drawn carrige) in November 2008 ? Best day of my life so far!

Hiya,

I'm Tracey, I'm 30 and I've been with my OH for 9 years. He is nearly 37. I have a 9 year old son who my OH is in the process of adopting. We live on the North Notts/South Yorks/Lincs/Derbyshire border - literally 5-10 miles in any direction and you you can be in a different county.

My OH works in IT - as an Executive IT Architect (whatever one of those is lol) and I work from home and I'm studying for a degree through the OU.

OH proposed in NYC at a baseball game - he got it written up on the scoreboard and had the whole stadium cheering for us when I said yes....he's an old romantic really.

We're getting married in July 2013, but haven't got a venue yet and we'll be having a NYC theme as its somewhere thats very special to us and our colours are going to be blue and orange (the colours of our baseball team.

I'm Flow (yes, im called flow by people in real life) and im 28, will be 29 when im married in May 2012...Mr Flow is 2.5years younger then moi. we have no kids unless you count a cat. and a stupid one at that

I'm a marketing manager for a construction company and am surrounded by men all day, tho none are hot, youd think out fo 25 one would at least be but alas no. This saddens me

Hey all! My name is Lisa and I am 30 ?!!

I have been with my lovely OH for 4 years and we are getting married at Brownsover Hall in December this year!!!!!!!!!!!❤️ We only got engaged in Feb this year but my Grandma has been poorly and we are a very close family so planned in record time hoping that she could come......unfortunately it was not to be and she sadly went to sleep on Tuesday 24th May...so very very sad but she is not suffering anymore and will be by my side on the day beaming...she had to go as someone needed to look after my grandad and stop him drinking all the big mans home brew!!!

I had no idea that the OH was going to propose and it was a complete shock! He took me back to the hotel where we spent our first valentines day! Possibly the nicest place I have ever been! We were having a picnic in the room and he popped the question on one knee with ring and everything!!

Blimey! If this is the amount I write introducing myself can you imagine my report!!!!!!!?

Love hitch and hitchers for all the help they have given me!xx

Hi there, my name is Jenn, I’m 27 and have been with Mr Apples since I was 16. He is 3 years older than me and the Love of my life (someone pass me the sick bucket! ?)

We met in a night club (thank god for underage drinking!!) but it turns out our story goes a bit further back to me having swimming lessons with his sister when I was about 6! Freaky!

We’ve been through thick and thin together and we can’t wait to make promises to each other in front of all our family and friends in a humanist ceremony on 9th February 2013, 12 years to the day since our first date! My brother is going to give me away, he will be 21 then.

Mr Apples proposed this year in Venice on the day of our 10year anniversary. It was perfect and I can’t believe it happened to me!

I work with teens from underprivileged backgrounds. We are owned by 2 cats!

I Love zumba, reality TV and red wine! My family, my relationship and my friends are the things I treasure most in my life. Without them i would be a very different person.

It’s a pleasure to meet all you lovely hitchers!! Let the planning begin! MrsApplestobe xxx

My Name is Emma and I've been my chap for 7 years (known each other 9yrs). We have an utterly bonkers little dog called Jake. We're getting married on 1st Oct near Hawes in Yorkshire.

I work in the voluntary sector as a ICT Systems Administrator - basically I look after all the computers, servers, routers, switches etc that makes up our ICT network. We've recently merged with our 'sister' organisation and am now responsible for that site's ICT equipment too. I rather hate my job at the moment :o(

OH also works in IT at a local Community College, he wants to move away from general IT to Designing Databases and websites.

We're honeymooning in the Highlands of Scotland as we are both into photography, walking and long drives.

Ooooh I forgot to say that I'll be getting a black lab puppy later on this year (after we get back from holiday so we don't have to put him in kennels when he's still so young)

Tray

I live about 10 minutes from centre parcs.?

I'm Panda (yes, like Flow I do answer to it in real life) & I'm 32. I'm a born & bred Cheltenham person but OH is in the RAF who decided that we need to live in High Wycombe so we have been here since June last year. We have a 16 month old baby bear (we call him our little cub) who along with our dalmatians rules our lives. Poppy is the spotty dog in my sig strip below & is my other baby. She's been to Crufts twice (she is only two!) and will be having puppies this autumn - YAY!!!

I met Mr Panda through a Facebook application called Are You Interested? A few cheeky emails were exchanged as he was travelling Australia at the time & we had 1 date before he got sent to Afghanistan for 5 weeks. I didn't fancy Mr Panda at all when we first met but he was so persistant calling me from Afghanistan that I kind of fell for his personality. Our second date happened when he got home to Bath from Afghanistan & we haven't looked back!

I'm a very horsey person, owning 10 neddies (will be 11 on Saturday when Cub's new Shetland pony arrives!) & qualified as a riding instructor. I am currently a stay at home mum so I do dog sitting from home & I am also a carer for a 21 year old lady with severe ADHD & learning difficulties.

When Mr Panda comes out of the RAF in 4 1/2 years time we want to move to Cornwall & buy a house with land to keep my neddies on.

Hello,

My names Leanne, I was married in 2008, but loved the planning so much I actually went in to the photography side of the business. We had previously worked as photographers but mainly for stock, portraits or commercial work. However since our wedding the photography side has took off wonderfully and I must say whenever I'm at a wedding and Im photographing the ceremony, the expressions are so beautiful, the love shown in those photographs lasts a lifetime. I feel honoured to be a part of it and it brings me back to my wedding day to my Hubby Mark and the love we have for each other. So for me, I have the perfect job... I get to witness and capture the most perfect day of anyones life

OT slightly... if anyone wants any info on any suppliers I know quite a few near here (Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire & Leicestershire mainly) so just send me a message and I'll help where I can

Hi - im Katrina, 30, mum of three, 2 girls - 8yr old (going on 18) 4yr old and my little man 2yrs. Been with my OH 7yrs, although we did go to school together I kinda remember him very tall, drainpipe trousers and white socks ? he says he actually liked me at school and did once try and talk to me but apparently I completley shunned him ? - Fast forward to a nightclub few years later and there we met.

Have been engaged since 2008 so absolutley thrilled to finally be getting married on 27th April next year We have had alot of ups and downs in a relationship but always seem to pull it back together ❤️

We are getting married and having the reception at the Bull Hotel, I booked this venue after going to a wedding fayre there I loved it and so will the OH ( yep he hasnt seen inside yet as couldnt get time of work for the appointment to book it) He has seen pics and said he trust my decision and the deal and deductions I got for booking it at the fayre swayed him muchly too ?

I am loving all the wedding planning and love bargain hunting. Have made things ourselves to save costs - favour boxes, invites, STD cards etc and absolutley love Ebay have struck lucky with so much stuff of there.

Katrina x x

Kerry Lou

we went to agadir, it was wonderful, stayed in a 5* hotel right next to the beach and it was wonderful....the proposal was so unexpected

Oh i forgot to mention how we met.....we were both on an online dating website lol called dating direct we had our first date and we have loved each other ever since.

i was 21 at the time and he was 26 many people asked why we were on there but i believe it was some kind of fate

xx

Just noticing its not just me that met my OH online! *Sighs of relief*

I was just wondering how many of us hitchers met our OH's online? It was match.com for us :o)

I am Francesca, and we are both 25 years old.

Have known my OH since we were about 12 and met through friends at school. We have been together since we were 15 and moved in together when we were 19 and bought our 1st flat together a year later.

We moved house last June, and have just finished decorating, but still finding other projects to do around the place.

We have a 3 year old cat called Nigel.

We love living in Oxfordshire, but one day have dreams of living in The Lakes.

Our faveourite past times are DIY projects, going to nice country pubs for a good local Ale, and having friends round for BBQ's.

My idea of a perfect wedding was something small, and always fancied the idea of a cheesy Vegas wedding. OH wants the full big wedding day, which he seems to be getting his way on at the moment.

I never thought about having children until very recently, and it seems that all of a sudden that I just can't wait to have them, and the more family members that have babies, the more I want them! My Oh also wants kids, but I think he was hoping to wait a bit longer than I think I will end up wanting to, so trying not to scare him off before we have even got down the isle!

Can't wait to get married to my best friend.

Hi, I'm Jen and I'm 27. My OH proposed on my birthday this year, which also happened to be Easter Monday in the gardens at Audley End House near Saffron Walden, Essex after we'd had a picnic. He was too scared to buy me a ring in case I didn't like it, so proposed with a Haribo ring and also a haribo heart. Sounds very cheesy, but it was perfect!

We met on a speed dating night (he was drunk at a bbq with his friends and they dared him and the only other singleton there to go and I went with a couple of other girls for something different to do on a Monday night!). We'll have been together 4 years this Friday and are getting married on 11th August 2012 at Sheene Mill, Melbourn, Cambridgeshire.

I'm Head of History and Politics at a secondary school in Suffolk (hence the proposal at an old country house as I'm a full on history geek!)

Um, my life is pretty much taken up by school, trying to finish renovating oour house and the wedding although we do find a bit of time for cycling, eating nice food (although I ma trying to lose weight!) and catching up with friends at the pub quiz.

Really loving all the planning and all the forums and advice on here!

Oooo job twin!! How come your off? Is your centre not safe with all the changes?

I'm Emily, 29 and getting married 28th Aug this year! were going for a country vintage feel to the day. Ive made the invites and other bits and pieces and currently tying ribbon and lace on jam jars for the table. Got a little 8yr old angel too... only when she wants to be!!
