read lots of these and couldn't resist doing my own, hope you enjoy and feel

Just a little bit about me and the OH. We met through a friend and started 'going steady' (the term he used...) on 15/03/2013. We moved in together relatively quickly on 23/11/2013, and bought our house November 2015. We've slowly been doing it up, and OH kept threatening he wouldn't propose until it was all done.
Thankfully he didn't keep this promise and proposed at Castlerigg Stone Circle on 19/03/2016. He'd asked for ring inspiration a month or so before, so it wasn't a total surprise but it was a very nice one. Especially as the ring he chose is exactly what I wanted, pre-loved art deco, I can’t help but feel incredibly lucky and smile every time I look at it.
We started planning straight away, and booked our ceremony venue within a couple of weeks, Astley Hall:
Ceremony room: <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g503933-d1583749-i42125015-Astley_Hall-Chorley_Lancashire_England.html#42125015"><img alt="" src="https://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/02/82/c6/d7/filename-p1000763-jpg.jpg"/></a><br/>This photo of Astley Hall is courtesy of TripAdvisor
Now began the search for the reception venue, this didn’t quite go to plan. We decided we wanted to book Mytton Fold but they were already booked on the day we’d chosen. So quick change of plans and a call to Astley and we changed our date to 3rd June. Which as we’re both fans of Gilmore Girls worked quite nicely as this date is referenced lots in the show.
We decided we wanted lots of colour so having; teal, navy, yellow, purple and grey. I’m having 5 Bridesmaid who will be in different dresses, and OH is having his BM and 4 ushers who will each have a different colour bow tie.
Thinking of flowers like this:
I’ve also sorted the MUA. The ceremony is 11am so it will be a very early morning (and I’m not a morning person). We’ve also booked a rockabilly band for the evening (Doug Perkins and the Spectaculars), and met with Mytton Fold’s venue dressing people.
We’re making our own centrepieces. This is still under discussion but I think they will be records (in place of mirror) with things on, not sure what the things will be. Seating chart and table names will be themed with records and album names.
Also booked a vintage bus to take guests between the two venues, we’re going to get everyone to meet at Mytton and then get the bus to Astley. Everyone’s cars will be in the right place that way J
Save the dates have gone out (except the one’s we’re hand delivering...) and we had our meeting with the registry office this week to give notice.
Oh and most importantly I think I’ve found my dress. My mum is coming down next week and I’m going to try it on again and hopefully order it. http://www.rosaclara.es/en-gb/rc/estanque-2/
I think that’s all for now, feel free to share any ideas or suggestions!
