We're bringing wedding forward because...

woo-woo, 22 May, 2010 at 21:01 Posted on Planning 0 43

....I'm pregnant!!!

Anyone who knows me on facebook please don't write anything over there as I am only 8 weeks and don't want to let the cat out of the bag until 12 weeks scan is ok.

We had booked a gorgeous venue for october next year but in light of our happy accident we have decided to do it this September with just immediate family instead of the 80 we had planned to invite, the lovely thing about bringing it forward is that we'll have been together 10 years in september so it's worked out well I suppose.

Anyway as I don't want to tell folks in the "real world" our news yet I just wanted to share with the lovely hitchers.

We're going to pop into the registry office down the road on monday and see about availability and also see about booking a restaurant for 20 or so family members for afterwards.

Has anyone had any experience of dramatically downsizing a wedding?

    Thanks loopy, think I'm just worried that some family members will be put out that we can't invite them now, but we're doing this for us, I feel it's now or never!

    Thanks everyone ?

    Lorna I shant desert you all lovely, I've been a very bad hitcher of late but with wedding so close I will be about more.

    Just been browsing looking for dresses, I've decided I don't want to wear a maternity wedding dress or a wedding dress at all for that matter, I will be six months by sept and really quite fancy wearing a long maxi dress?

    I really should pop over to BT at some point and introduce myself ?

    Nope it wont let me but i asked them to buy a metre of the fabric of the dress so they could put a panel in the dress for the belly

    Oh yay to the babies if you need a hand with anything hun then let me know so exciting

    Congrats! I hope everything goes well for your first scan Smiley smile

    Are you going to get your deposit back for your venue since it was still a while away?

    Your downsized wedding will be perfect Smiley laugh

    Huge Congratulations Woo Woo, get yourself over to BT with the rest of us!!

    We had our wedding booked for June 26 this year (you may remember the tattoos...) Then we found out I was pg and due 2 weeks after the wedding, we brought everything forward to March 19th instead. It was good that I we were so organised. It was just a case of calling suppliers and bringing everything forward, which meant all the payment had to be brought forward too ☹️

    Good Luck at the reg office, and if you need any help let me know xxx

    Wow woowoo!

    I am soooo delighted for you! Congratulations!

    I'm sure everything will be fine with the downsizing, you will just have to be a bit more organised. As for those you think will be upset...Forget about them. If they truely care they will be more happy for you and OH than upset at not getting a free meal.

    xoxo

    Thanks. If i'm honest we didn't realise. My BM pointed it out a few weeks later! We just picked a wednesday as we're getting married in Turkey we went by flight days. Lots of flights from airports near our family and friends on everyday but wednesday! This way people had more choice when to fly and not miss the wedding!

    Congrats on your pregnancy!!

    My sister had her wedding booked for July 27th 2009, and in November 2008 found out she was pregnant and was told the baby would be due July 24th 2009, so she brought her wedding forward to 1st May 2009..... Only to find out at her 12 week scan that she was much further gone and the baby was due 20th May 2009!!

    As she had already changed the date once, she had to just hope for the best. So she got married on 1st May 2009 at 37 weeks and waddled down the aisle bless her and 2 weeks after the wedding gave birth!

    She looked beautiful on the day and the dress shop done a fantastic job letting out her dress which she had purchased before she found out about the pregnancy! They let the seams out as much as possible and changed the back from a zip to a corset fasten.

    Be sure of your dates etc before you change anything too drastically ;o)

    Below is my sis on her wedding day with her eldest boy – she was “glowing”

    And what a challenge too - big change of plans for the wedding! I think it may make it all the more exciting though.

    Congratulations!!
