Looking at buying a few small gifts for those involved in our wedding in a small way (doing readings, etc), and one of them we thought it would be nice to get some earrings. She's mid/late 20's, likes...
So we've bought something for the bridesmaids as a thankyou, and something for the ushers. Also something for family members (although all they're basically doing is turning up on the day). But how...
Just wondered if anyone wanted to talk about fishies. We have a 60 litre coldwater tank with 4 fish and a clam in it.
Found this video which I thought was interesting, about a groom that spent a year planning a wedding in secret, and everything and everyone was organised but kept quiet from the bride. She thought she...
I know it's the guests responsibility to bring confetti to a wedding but we thought we ought to supply some, just in case people don't remember or don't grasp they need to bring some. We have the...
Was browsing Facebook this morning and noticed that one of my long-term friends in the US, who was actually the one that encouraged me to make 'first contact' which resulted in me being here, got...
Is it just me seeing Zoosk adverts at the top of the Hitched page occasionally, with details of loads of local singles just waiting to meet me? I can't help but wonder if it's not quite hitting its...
No doubt most of you will be aware of the troubles in Tottenham following a police shooting on Thursday which has spread throughout London over the weekend. As it seems to be affecting more and more...
Did you realise it was six weeks today? Do I hear a collective "squeeeeee" there? How's your planning going? Anything big left to do? We've been out today to get some small plastic bags and spent the...
Where's the time going??? It's fifty days today till our big day. Not much still to do, thankfully, except paying bills... but in 50 days and about 2 hours time I'll have a Mrs
Just curious really what - if anything - people are doing to remember or honour lost friends or relatives during their big day. I'll be using a quote from my grandfather's memoirs about his wedding...
Sigh... what would you do? Obviously, I'm going to need to get a haircut a couple of weeks before the wedding. Nothing fancy, straightforward trim and tidy up as always. However, I have two options....
Well, we planned some months ago that, on our holiday this week, we'd sort out putting the favours together. Just as well, as it's been a dreadful few days of weather and it doesn't look like it's...
Stuck with a little dilemma I thought I'd throw out to the collective wisdom. Quick background, my parents separated about 15 years ago. My father remarried about 10 years ago, my mother however has...
We've just received our first wedding gift, a cheque from someone who is unable to come, written out to "Mr and Mrs". Obviously we can't set up a joint account yet because "Mrs" does not yet exist,...
Anyone notice the "Ends staurday" on the Berketex advert that comes up at the top of the screen? It always makes me smile when I see things like that in what should be professionally produced...
Ok, so we've got the top table sorted, but now have five tables seating up to 12 people for the wedding breakfast. It's not a formal sit down meal, but a barbecue served in the garden so we don't know...
Any suggestions or recommendations? It seems many of you ladies are splashing out on special fragrances for your big day so I wondered if any of the guys were getting anything special, or just using...
We've both invited some people from work, those that we feel we get on with and work with on a regular basis, but there's a few people we just didn't invite because partly we didn't think they'd want...
This is our room, and it'll be set mostly like this. I was thinking it might be nice, particularly as the day goes on, to have a couple of green LED uplighters for the plain walls between the doors...
You know, the sort of site where you upload your pictures, arrange them, pay for it then a few days later a printed book arrives in the post? Just looking for something to experiment with as we're...
We were thinking of having a 'help yourself' sweet buffet but having now discovered that the M&M shop has opened in London and doing some digging on the site, I notice that you can get a 1.5kg bag...
I don't know if you realised but it's ONE HUNDRED DAYS TODAY THAT WE GET MARRIED! Squeeeeee! Tomorrow we're down to double figures. Not quite as scary a prospect as I thought. At this exact time in...
We popped into Ikea yesterday to get a mirror for our 'table plan' and came across "Smycka" (500.999.99) dried bouquet - well a sort of grassy stuff really - that we both thought would look perfect...
Bit of a long shot but worth a try. My b2b needs her veil as she's got a hair trial next Friday. Originally she was going to use her mum's veil, which her sister used when she got married last year,...
... we'll have been married about an hour and having our photographs taken. Please tell me these last four months go by slower than the last 10... Pointless post really but posted because I can. Are...
I put a shelf up this evening! Don't mind Roland...
We've been thinking about who to sit where during the wedding breakfast and have lots of ideas so we thought we'd throw it open to the collective wisdom of Hitched to see what you thought. Basically...
Upgraded to IE9 now I can't post anywhere. Posting this message from Firefox. I type a reply as normal then hit "Post" and the message disappears, with a red * appearing above where the message where...
Just wondered if there was any sort of 'standard timings' for what the speeches should be, so we can make sure we leave enough time in our programme for them. We will be having father of the bride,...
Didn't realise there were 8 of us getting done on the same day. Fill me in on your plans, where you are in your planning etc just out of curiousity really. Our plans? 1.30pm service in a hotel in the...
