Where have all these Newbies sprouted from! Intro's

Hiya,

Not sure if I'm a newbie or not but here goes....

Got engaged in Les Houches, Chamonix, France on 2nd February 2009 my OH took me up a mountain and proposed there - gorgeous view of the ski resort.

Got together October 2005, getting married 10th September 2010 at Dodmoor House in Northamptonshire - beautiful converted barns. Having the civil ceremony there and the reception. As my family are Scottish having bagpipes and some other Scottish traditions (mainly involving alcohol!)

So venue is booked and the caterers are booked - nothing else to do until January next year. Having a black and white theme with a splash of pink... Wearing black satin shoes... I'm also looking for a Grace Kelly-esque dress!

Well I think I've bored you all enough now with what my plans are - another thing is I believe I may have to sell vital organs to fund said wedding.. Shall keep you posted! x

See, I knew there were loads of you lurking about ?.

Once you've hitched...you'll never leave ?, a bit like me!

Found hitched in 2003 when EX proposed, got married in July 04....separated (he left) in November 05 ☹️, met lovely new H2B in Feb 06 ?, Divorced EX in Sept 06...?

Propsed to Lovely H2B on 29th Feb 08...marriage gonna happen in September!...what a whirlwind that is!

Hi, I joined in June and have posted a few times, we got engaged in Feb 2008 on my 40th Birthday, we will have been together four years in June and met on dating direct!!, we hope to get married in September 2010, if our budget allows as we want to pay for everything ourselves as both sets of parents are now retired.

Have started to make a scapbbook with my favourite things in and I am going to look at a wedding venue with my H2b and my parents in August, it is a lovely country house, and has a licence for civil ceremonies. We have not booked anything, but I may go and try some dresses on soon!!

Bridetobehaha ?

Ooh la la..how exciting!! Where are you getting married? I want to plan everything now but keep thinking actually...got three years to do it, keep getting carried away though!!

No idea yet! We're looking for barn type venues in East Anglia, Leicestershire or the Peak District.

Where are you looking at booking?

Hi everyone! Ive been a bit of a lurker since i got engaged last november but really got into the swing of planning now so been getting much more involved in hitched of late, even been daring enough to start my own posts! Most recently about booking my honeymoon!

Im having a church wedding, in Chailey, just outside Lewes near brighton, on 25th June 2010 and then reception in Highly Manor in Balcombe, west Sussex, so glad to see there are a few new hitchers down south!! They seem to be few and far between!!

Hi Girlies!

I have to confess i have been a lurker for far too long now...posted a couple of times but mostly just r&r (have picked up some of the lingo tho eh??). I get married on 26th June 2010...not too long at all now! I sooooo dont feel as organised as some others who are getting married after me though!

So far we have booked the venue, car, photographer, bought my dress (eek! LOVE IT) decided on BM dresses but not purchased and were giving notice in a few weeks cos gotta mess around getting replacement birth certificates and stuff. We are getting married in South Cave castle which is just outside of hull.

I would love to hear any plans from any of my date twinnies or anyone getting married around the same time so that i can compare progress.

Our colour scheme is gold, ivory and sage green...going for green BM dresse with calla lillies tied with gold ribbon i think...

Tell me your plans!! I promise to lurk no more!

Hi to all the Newbies!! Welcome to Hitched!!!

Sounds good - my h2b is from the peak district - at one point we were considering getting married up there but it's a bit cold for me!!

Instead looking at getting married in Spain - where we got engaged. It's on the Costa Brava which is not well-known for weddings but we've managed to find a wedding planning company out there and they're going to come back to us with a package hopefully next week so very excited about that!!

So, have you looked at any dresses yet?

Hi All, I have been engaged since May 2009 and getting married on 26th November this year. OH lives by the beach in LA. We met through the firm we work for last March. Its thanks to hitched that we found our venue, Hintlesham Hall in Ipswich. We're having a UK/US themed wedding: afternoon tea followed by Thanksgiving dinner. Have the dress and flowergirls sorted and I'm really looking forward to the cake tasting ?. Honeymoon will be next year as we've pretty much run out of holiday this year. I then have the job of packing up my life to move to LA around June next year. Its going to be weird. Married on the Thursday and he flies home on the Sunday! Got back from visiting him last week so I finally have my engagement ring and I can't stop looking at it and smiling.

Anyone have the same date?

Hi! I'm a newbie too I've been with my other half, Andrew, for 3 years and we have a 6 month old daughter (as well as my 2 boys from a previous relationship). We haven't set a date for the wedding yet, all depends on money really! Getting engaged wasn't exactly a romantic affair as it came out of an argument we had! But we've been talking loads about what kind of wedding we want and I'm a little obsessed with browsing dresses, table settings etc so decided to start talking to other brides-to-be about it all!

We DO have a venue picked out for the ceremony tho! Pembroke Lodge in Richmond. It's a beautiful Georgian house set in Richmond Park and it's just fabulous. We're only having a small-ish informal wedding though, so dp wants us to have the reception elsewhere.

Looking forward to chatting to everyone over the coming months (years?? lol) about wedding plans!

Hi everyone, welcome to Hitched. I'm an OM now too - 8 weeks to be precise! But I still seem to be here!

Hello everyone, just thought I'd say hi too.

We have been trying to set our wedding date for about the last 2 years, but having 3 kids, family life etc, just seems to get in the way and we never think we can afford it!!

But we just decided last month to bring the wedding forward to this November (the 6th), as we inherited a little bit of money and decided to put it to good use instead of it just dwindling away in our bank! So, I only have 104 days to plan, aagh!

We are getting married in the registry office, then coming back to our house for a buffet for 70ish and then our evening reception is at a local rugby club. Our budget is really tight, and I'm picking up some really good tips from everyone on here. Also finding another website; cheap wedding success, very useful.

And yes have picked my dress - in the sale £350, have photos too but am having probs uploading them at the moment.

Hello everyone,

I've been lurking for a few weeks now and this thread has made me sign up and join in! I have already had so much inspiration from all the wonderful bride-to-bes and the old marrieds on here. I particularly loved the OM thread that was up recently with loads of pictures - so much imaginative and interesting stuff.

Our wedding will be in April (on our 5th anniversary), a church wedding followed by a reception & ceilidh band in the church's lovely little hall. We've got a tight budget, so I'm doing a lot of making myself (all stationery, decorations, flowers) but I'm having fun. I'm going for an informal country theme, with lots of fabric and a bit of a mish-mash of everything. I've made a mood board to give you an idea.

I put the deposit on my dress last weekend and most things are coming along smoothly. Catering is the next big consideration.

As my fiance is working an awful lot of unsociable hours in the next year, you may see quite a lot of me...
